Hey guys and girls!

Thought i'd chime in and say hi. My names Drew. used to be on here under another user name but had problems with it so decided to make a new one seeing as I've found my way back into a skyline after a couple of years toying around in a little MR2.

Here is my new 32 Gtst. Its very basic. Coilovers, kinugawa turbo, full exhaust and lots of little things taken care of. Have only had it almost 3 months now but about 2 weeks after getting my hands on it a few friends managed to convince me to enter NSW Time Attack at Wakefield. So a quick chat with my dad (read: Crew Chief) and it was all systems go! Installed an oil cooler for good measure. Grabbed some new rims, CST Hyper Zero's in 18x9.5 +15 all round and chucked some 255/35 RSR's on. Then off we headed for 2 days of track time. We decided that instead of going out with the mindset of 'I need to win' I should think about nothing more than getting on track in the new car and having as much fun as possible while doing it. In my little N/A MR2 my best time round Wakefield was a 1:14.5. By the end of day 2 at time attack i'd managed a 1:11.1 so came away extremely happy with my new PB.

Anyway, enough of me rambling. here's some picks of my new toy and also one of mine and dads cars together. He's got a 32 Gts that I gave him a couple of years back. 220,000km on the clock and it just soaks up the track days with no issues at all.

Thanks for reading. Hope to catch up soon.

Thanks guys :)

Looks impressive man. Wish my dad had the same passion for cars :(

What wing is that?

Wing is a genuine C-West adjustable twin blade. Managed to pick it up for $50 lol. Dad had a spare bootlid with the holes welded up so we mounted the wing to that and i just swap bootlids when i head to the track.

1:11s in damn impressive on rsr's.

quite a tidy car

Thanks :) I'm a big fan of the rsr's. I'm confident i can dip into the 1:10's in the next track day or 2. Was so close at time attack. Forgot to mention the car only has about 195rwkw :D

Nice, Ive got some RSR's to go on my boat

But less tyre and more weight mean 1:14s are my target

I saw that you're thinking about front splitter/undertray options, any luck with that? Me and dad are also starting to design something for the front end of my car to try and bring the times down a little more. Basically trying to keep my car in line with clubsprint time attack rules because i'll be back at NSW Time Attack next year and will also be looking to enter WTAC next year

    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off    
    • Just report the OP (via the 3 dots menu at the top right of post) and request deletion.
    • And boosters can be rebuilt by the same sort of brake shops that will rebuild a brake booster.
