Recommended Posts

Ok guys,

Who else is attending so I can make sure we have enough steaks?

Entries are open until 5pm tomorrow night and with only 50 entries you are guaranteed to get lots of laps!

This was an excellent day and it was great to meet some of the SAU crew too! Thanks for lunch too, nice cooking Andrew :)

Car ran well bar some loose manifold-to-turbo nuts, driver needs more practice :)

I had a ball, pity about the rest of the facilities falling apart though.

Glad I got in a good number of sessions, somehow went through 60L of fuel and needed to get Jamie to give me a lift to grab some more so I could get home :yucky:

Feels really difficult to work on your times throughout the day as the lap times are so short. Wiping 0.5s off at Calder is like wiping 3 seconds off at PI

Not only that, the temporary chicane kept on changing every session which made it very difficult to get consistent lap times. According to the GPS logger my times varied up to 2 seconds throughout the day just from that section alone.

I had a ball racing around and had no dramas with the car so top day for me! :)

I hope it went well for everyone else too

Thanks again for the day guys, said hi to a few of you but sorry we couldn't head down and have a chat as we were down the other end of the paddock, the sessions came around too quickly!

    • Hey mate, I know this is an older post but just in case you're still looking or someone else stumbles across this thread in a similar situation, I’d recommend checking out P&S Logistics. They operate routes from the Gold Coast to Adelaide, and they’re pretty flexible with dates. I’ve found them to be reliable and professional, which is what you want when you're dealing with something as valuable as a GTR. https://pslogistics.com.au  (P&S Logistics Website) You can get quote online through website. Hope that helps someone out!
    • We are talking about different things, all I'm saying is there are plenty of people out there that don't stop modifying their car after it has been engineered. 
    • It still doesn't matter to the eye of the law. It's all those annoying grey areas. Engineer the car under a specific area, but that same thing is still illegal elsewhere. Hence, still not legal.
    • I'd say the most common scenario is the car's build has 2 stages, all work that can be engineered is done first. The car is passed then the second round of mods start, all the ones that can't be engineered lol.
    • Things change over time but all that matters though is that the vehicle is compliant with the rules that were in place for the year when it was constructed.  Go back far enough, cars didn't have seatbelts or catalytic converters. You can still legally drive them without a seatbelt or cat fitted. It's not like vehicles need to be updated every year to match the updated ADR's to stay road legal.
