Most of you guys will enjoy this. You do not need to have major work done on the car to enter, it is the same level as I have seen from people leaving the Friday night meet. Only a very small amount of people actually push their cars at an event like this.

And it is no Drifting, so I won't enter :P

Come on people, it's pretty rare that you actually get to drive on the Sutton Rd "back track" and it's a great place to have heaps of fun in your car legally and relatively safe!!

BTW - You don't need a Skyline or a performance car at all because it's not circuit racing, just get out there and have some fun. :)

How much notice is needed. If i can get the major service and all the work done to the car in time i'm very keen.

at this stage you might be able to just show up on the day. but i wouldnt leave it to chance, PM N1GTR (steveo)

I would suggest pre-entering. If you are really worried about your car, just do an oil change. You don't need anything fancy, it's not a competition (even tho some people think it is), If you like accelerating fast in your car, then this is the thing for you.

I would have entered and not given a shit about how good I was or that my car is not as fast as others.... just fun to have a fang!! So just do it if you're thinking about it!

Unfortunately I can't afford it :(

Instead I'll be bringing all the foods so you lot don't go hungry lol

Anyone got hook ups for cheap snags?

shells the best :wub:

im bringing a crapy 31. slow cars ahoy

I can change the gb in my car in 30min. by my self. no excuses....

Waiting for some redline oils to arrive :) But apart from that, no money!! The redline oil already means I'll be eating 2 minute noodles this week..

Is it pretty good to go watch ?

You can't really see a hell of a lot except for them launching, a bit of a straight, and disappearing around the corner but it's still worth it. You've volunteered though haven't you? You'll have better view then, cos you'll probably be up on the track somewhere that spectators can't go.

Come see me too... I'll bring your stuff!

We'll be taking entries on the day, as long as there's spots left. At this point it seems highly likely, but if you're not pre-entered it will be first in best dressed! Make sure you have the correct cash.

    • Hi again all, I’ve tried doing some searching on the topic but couldn’t find the answer I’m looking for.   I deleted my clutch booster because it had an air leak and was squealing like a hog, and now my clutch has very poor pedal feel and the friction zone is way too small, so I believe I need a bigger diameter clutch master cylinder to compensate for not using the booster. I found a Wilwood option that’s 3/4” for a good price and will fit my 3AN clutch line, but all the firewall adapters I see online such as RB factory or Chase Bays are listed as RWD only (GTST/GTS). Link below. https://rbfactory.shop/products/nissan-to-wilwood-girling-clutch-master-cylinder-adapter My question is if these adapters will also fit a GTR, and if anyone has experience using a 3/4” CMC without the booster, my clutch is a Nismo coppermix twin plate.   Thanks, always appreciate the advice!
    • Catching up on a post, I've replaced the external shark fin with a small 4g antenna (no further drilling, just a 1mm embiggening of the existing hole, and run that to where the dual battery models have the battery in the left rear guard.  No idea what the factory antenna did, but removing it had no impact on anything I use, according to the US manual the GPS antenna is in the dash and it still works fine Also ended up stealing battery power from one of the amps and ACC power from a unit nearby to add an ACC relay to power it. The mounted the booster, wifi, power socket and antenna splitter in the rear left guard out of the way, all out of site with the boot trims in
    • What drama? The only drama you're going to have is the near constant work to maintain all those sphericals. I only have sphericals in my front caster rods and front upper CAs (because both of these are near compulsory in an R32). I have had the front arms out of my car 34 times already this month, and if the new replacements arrive today, I will have them out and apart again tomorrow. Chasing clicking and clunking that comes from sphericals being a.....poor choice for a road car. Moisture and dirt are not their friends. I have been contemplating a change to my rear subframe that would require me to use sphericals in my lower CAs. And.....I don't want to have them that close to the road.
    • Did you need anything else you've already done? If you had it before... and liked the changes after, then supposedly it'd be more of the same. The idea about most suspension arms is to tune geometry that the OEM arms max out at/can't handle because they weren't designed to have the car setup in such a way that 'looks good'.
    • I have replaced everything on my r34 including suspension to Miester R, all rear subframe bushes to poly, all arms to metal adjustable and same in front.   only thing I haven't touched is the front lower control arm. Should I? what improvement can i expect ? I mean the one on the link below?   Car drives perfectly, it is just me thinking everything is either puly bush or hard bearing type so should also do lower control arm front but do I really need it ? https://www.japspeed.co.uk/product/suspension/adjustable-arms/nissan-200sx-s13-s14-s15-skyline-r32-r33-r34-adjustable-suspension-front-lower-control-arms/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo5u6BhDJARIsAAVoDWs5V_PauQPf0kx3zFCaA4tOC9Q7JSIsfJWma_jAPN2f1sJA686djOwaAidgEALw_wcB
