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

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next. 
    • Once you learn it all, you find you do the job once. But this is the best way to learn, as you won't forget the lessons
    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.
    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
