Yeah - I drive a silver R32. I will have to have a look at what speeds I am on other parts of the circuit. The software isn't on this computer.

I run the state series primarily with the occasional national event (Went to Bathurst this year but would never go back. They just give you no track time) I run #31.

thats cool Ryan.. i help out number 42

i have seen your car at every event but couldn't make out who it was!

how was bathurst in the FF - did you have to lift the car at all?

will catch up with at round one next if not on a cruise before hand!

Duncan:

You talking car speed or wheel speed! If you looked at my wheel speed on entry to turn 2 compared to on exit you'd think I had 1000rwkw :flower:

Unofficialy I've run about 1:13 when folowing Daz around, but I wasn't happy with the pads I was running at the time and hope to go quicker on the 1/11. I've also got some half decent road rubber to use this time compared to the junk I was running last time.

hahaha Poakey....try 3rd gear coming out of there instead, wheelspin problem solved, and you don't have to worry about a gear change while coming out of the sweeper :D

New tyres will help heaps...but I think you will find that brakes just slow you down :P

Duncan:

3rd gear just means I need to hit the handbrake earlier and carry more speed into the corner otherwise I bog down on exit and the car straightens out!

fatz:

If borrowing a friends car is instantly worth 10km/h, then I ought to take a hire car for the day. I could blow straight past the 1:10 barrier and aim for some 1:08's!

Not to mention that if we all got the same stock rentals we could have an awesome control class! Any takers?!

Bathurst Was a nightmare. We got treated like crap. The first pratice session we got 4 laps and qualifying we got 5. Race 1 got reduced to 3 laps with one behind the safety car. The 2nd race was only 7 laps with another 2 behind the pace car. Some of the driving was pretty bad - but on the other hand they give young drivers 9 laps to learn a track like Bathurst and dont expect carnage.

If the V8's are running at an event I wouldn't enter. They dont mind taking your money but give you sweet F.A. in return.

We didn't have to lift the car at all. Didn't bottom out anywhere. I will see you at the track sometime

yup mx5 challenge

costs 120 bux for the day

Pete, where can I rent the MX5 from for that much? Do they limit k's (it's a long way to goulburn and back... Plus will they pass you through scrutineering in a rental ok?

    • Its definitely nice to still see skyline dedicated events happening in the car scene but I do believe its somewhat less populated as the cars become much rarer. The first event I went to in 2022 had a turnout of what seemed like 40ish skylines whereas the recent one I attended seemed to be a quieter turnout of around 20 cars.
    • Definitely an ongoing project as they all are, unfortunately it's hard to do a lot of the longer jobs on it as I daily it to work every day which means no leaving it on jackstands in the garage for eons. It also adds its own challenges of old stuff constantly breaking from getting used more than usual which I have sadly come to find multiple times in this short period of ownership haha
    • Yeah was my first "modification" the day it arrived from Adelaide. Had the set of them sitting around from my S15 in 2020 and fate would have it that I finally end up in the right car for them 😋
    • Went through this pain last week when my FUCA snapped and had to change one for the first time, im glad I had a friend with me otherwise I think I would've struggled to get it back together. It ended up with me standing on the hub to push it down while he was trying to whack the bottom of the shock back onto the spindle 🤣
