First time I have run on anything other than road tyres, damn what a difference! Slashed 2.4s of my previous best, unbelieveable difference in grip level.

I did a supersprint at EC yesterday and managed to better my previous best by more than 3 seconds. Funny thing is the car is exactly the same as last time I was there except for rear camber pins and a decent wheel alignment. Goes to show the value of a good wheel alignment.

Best time of 1:51.6 and full results are shown here:

I managed to beat all other WRXs on street tyres as well as all runners on R-spec tyres as well. The only WRXs to beat me were on slicks running increased capacity (2.2 and 2.5 L engines). All in all a great day at the office! :lol:

There was one VERY fast white GTR running too. Man that thing was quick!!! John was there in the very boosted Zed but judging by his times something was amiss.

I did a supersprint at EC yesterday and managed to better my previous best.......

Hey good work Nads - do you still take turn 8 flatstickfullycrossedupfacingthefarkingconcretewall or have you found a more exciting way round it?

niccce

good to see a vg car getting its tits thrashed off it

Well done Ben that's a great time for a hyundai ;)

Thanks Duncan. I'm pretty happy with my effort.

Howdy Bonkers! I've graduated from taking turn 8 as "flatstickfullycrossedupfacingthefarkingconcretewall" and now I'm trying to take turn 1 the same way. :) Seems to have worked reasonably well.

I've gotta admit I was shown my way around Eastern Creek by an absolute master! Since the 1/2 day I did with you I've only done 1 other full day at Eastern Creek so maybe I was listening to your pointers?

None of this sticky tyres crap either. Go the street tyres!

So when are you guys coming out to Orange?

Cheers,

Ben

    • -9s are discontinued supposedly. But you can still get Nismo R3 turbos which are something like a -7 but subtly different? -7s are also available. HKS GTIII-SS and GTIII-2530 are also available but they're journal bearing MHI turbos.
    • Late to this party but here is your go to shop in perth - https://www.facebook.com/gsautoworksau GTSBOY is on the money cost wise, drive in and out will cost you 15-30k or more.    Some items that will save you money  - plug in link ecu g4x is much cheaper than haltech.   -Pulsar turbo, seem to be "OK" now, never used one myself You really don't have to build the motor, E85, headgasket, studs and a good RB26 will live for ever.    Swapping over the twins won't save much as you still need ecu, tune, fuel system etc.          
    • Welcome back to the scene! Godzilla Motorsports were well regarded back in the day.  My GT-R had work done there prior to my ownership.   SRS (Street Race Solutions) in Toowoomba worth a look.  They've built some pretty wild Skylines. Their YouTube channel is comedic to watch!  I'm sure they're all on the glass BBQ but they get shit done! 🤣
    • Hard to say what the extra connector is, it looks a bit like a coax type connector, so possibly a separate radio/GPS antenna, or even another camera input?  The V37 series (including the Q50), did go through a model refresh in 2020, since Australia didn't get any Q50s newer than 2019, we didn't get any of the refreshed models, so there could also be other unexpected problems to overcome to swap an older Q50 head unit into a new model V37. There probably aren't too many people around that have made these sorts of changes to a Q50/V37, so you might end up being the first if you do decide to go ahead. ACP is Apple Car Play and AA is Android Auto, they are roughly the same thing for the 2 major phone operating systems (Apple's iOS and Android), it allows you to connect your phone and access a number of your phone applications on your car system.  With Nav apps included, so you could use google maps/Waze or whatever your favourite navigation app is, instead of using the built in navi system.  I think this would be a better solution if it is only Navigation that you are looking as swapping the head unit for. GPS signals are the same around the globe as the GPS satellites continuously circle the globe, but it is the head unit that doesn't allow you to load Australian maps, or at least no-one had made an Australian map that will load up on the JDM head unit. Regarding the TV standards, I assume you are referring to the AV inputs?  I haven't ever tried to use them, Japan used a slightly modified version of the US NTSC system, and Australia uses PAL for composite video, that said, I wouldn't be surprised if a video input could work with either system.  That is mostly irrelevant here though, unless you plan to use those inputs for something?
    • If you've got bucket loads of $. Go single. If not, just upgrade the twins, Garrett -9's or whatever the current equivalent is for a healthy 350awkw and leave it at that. Will probably still cost you 10k to do in this day and age.
