Awesome day, some seriously fast cars out on the track all day long which was awesome to see :D:D

Shame a few left a bit worse for wear :D:(

GRACER blew a power steering belt ripping the crank angle sensor wiring out :D:( got it bodgied up and got home without power sterring which was great to see....

the white R32 GTR that lost the bonnet was disapointing... appeared to be pretty cosmetic but windscreens arent cheap....

B-Man - am i wrong in assuming you were driving the white R33??? i saw the car blowing heaps of smoke but wasnt to sure if you made it back or not??

The man hours that musta gone into that car would be amazing. I don't think their was a single standard part that I could see that hadn't been touched in some way.

Ha ha - No that wasn't me - but I saw that guy. Duncan and I were talking about him - His smoke kept ketting worse and worse and worse until bang.... (That was a GTR)

I was in the Silver R33 GTS-t - Went out first session - did about 4 laps, punted it down the straight, then when I braked/decelarated - massive amounts of white smoke from the exhaust. I think it scared the shit out of the Shane and Ben behind me - he he.

I parked it after that.

Drove home no problems - still makes boost. So I'm pretty sure its a seal in the CHRA. Not a big deal - Just more $$ (which I don't have)

Cheers,

Hey Tosh GTR's are not immortal.

Roy Zed was strong but did not come up fastest car. Kinda The fish that got away story. I was only timed in the first session when I was setting up tyre pressures and suspension getting used to new set up etc Also was hitting rev limiter which we had a bit low only 7,000rpm. Second timed session when I was rounding everyone up, although Geoff from SSS Automotive was not there, only came back very late when he left to change rear diff so? One of my Zed fans with a zed stop watch timed me at 48 something secs. Skylines ruled again though in numbers and times. Lots of rubber on the track which got distracting and exciting when getting up close to car in front prior to over taking with rubber hitting your screen.

Big role up had 50 cars.

Times will be on our site soon.

Good to such a good turn out after last year, damn shame about the skylines that died though :)

Yojimbo here (SAU wont let me log out and back in as myself), I just wanted some photos of the silvia.

I dropped around to Hills Motorsport after lunch on saturday after a call from Mark and Siko for an epic mission to get this car finished, and didnt get home till 8pm sunday !!!

When I left home i never imagined I wouldnt return before the track session and so I left my camera behind :)

Totally rooted by the time we got back but well worth it. 30 hours from nothing to rb26, including all 'cooler plumbing and incorporating factory loom and modified factory computer, fuel system, tuning....

As well as a stop to RESPRAY THE FRONT HALF OF THE CAR !!!!

Need Pics - we were too busy to take any !!

ALSO, the silvia was only running about 14psi, the least boost that the wastegate would allow. made well in exces of 280 rwkw - power could not be measured even with 4 100 kg guys in the boot ! 280 was just the highest figure recorded.

Damn

I thought the clutch was slipping in 3rd and 4th untill I seen under the bonnet of that thing
