Hey Crew,

as an honorary non skyline new member of TEAM WANG (very stoked) I thought I had better get on board the forums. Thanks to all for a mad weekend. Thanks also for draggin me kicking and screaming off the wagon :hellpisd: ...oh and thanks for not drinking my light beers...... Was a great day at the track and an epic night out. You are a mad bunch of bad eggs!!!! :)

Thanks again for making a non skyliner so welcome. Looking forward to the next mission.

Cheers,

Blaise

It's called 'Retox' Blaise :)

Come to the meeting tomorrow night (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=69618) and I'll give you any pix of your car in hi-res. Hopefully Chris will bring the video too :)

Hey Blaise,

Well done on your mighty fine track times. I just had a thought... I noticed when I left Benalia that you were running street rubber on your car. Is that right?

If so, then 1:36's and 2nd top lap time for the day is an incredible effort!! (James/Snowy did either of you two spot Blaise cutting across the grass??)

Blaise - I must say you fit in perfect with us so you are a welcome addition. We already have a TX5 member of Team Wang so we ain't carist.

Am thinking now we may have to include Morwell in the championship just for the weekend away. We'll all go spend some time with Emre and the tripplets!

Dave,

I wish I could say it was street rubber, but was RE-55 semis. Drive up on my street rubber and change at the track. Still, happy with the times, and happy to be able to drive the car home. Good performance for your first day out with a tiptronic equipped car on street rubber. Have to make sure you stay for the main event next time. Was a pretty rawkus night..... Always a good sign when you are struggling to decide if you had more fun on or off the track...

And thanks James. Suitably "retoxed" and checking back into the clinic as we speak. Hopefully they let me out in time for the next one :)

As per most of the previous posts....GREAT WEEKEND LADS :)

The track day was awesome (as you can tell from my tyres) and the company was even better.....big thanks to everyone who made it a great boyz (yes that includes you Bec!) weekend away :rofl:

Heres some pics from the track and Blaise - I have you on a snippit of digi film from Sat night if you want a copy!!

PS Thanks goes to Al for the shots while I was on the track :)

Tom/Dave/etc etc if you want the original hi-res versions just PM me with a suitable email address.

Hehe - great expression from Brisby in this photo. Couln't resist playing with it...

ROFL...the boy has skills, and the warface looks appropiatley punch drunk.

Im up for the weekend away to Morwell, but car is off the road for a few weeks, brakes, cams, radiator, new shocks, RE55s and paint. The car is going to sing at Sandown, which is a good thing as im going to have to sing for the bank manager:(

Damn!!!! Spewing I missed this one, but it was the miss' birthday on Saturday....

Definetly coming to the next one!!

Must say bad luck to Archie, I've been in the exact same position, even at the same track!!! Oh well, let Ben freshen up the motor and it will last forever!!! Also congrats on the time, looks like u were doing really well!!!!!

Yep, had an awesome time at Winton and i won't be forgetting that experience in a hurry. Powering through corners with the wheels screeching hoping that they won't let go and then finally applying more throtle to get the fronts engaging and get the car pointing straight and shooting off like a slingshot was like a drug, so addictive :)

Fun came to end though when the engine decided it didn't like this anymore, but oh well, sh1t happens. Will have to sit it out for a while to decide what i want to do and when i want to do it by.

Big thanks to Troy for helping me get set up (as i was running late) and be able to get on the track for the first session, not to mention for borrowing a few tools too :cheers: And big thanks to all for helping push the car onto the trailer :)

Jack

Hehehe yeah winton took this rb26 scalp too...lets hope there isn't gonna be anymore :)

Scotsman and Snowy great battle and thanks for all your advice during the day. Certainly helped me improve my lap times a lot quicker than what i otherwise would of.

Nice to have met everyone but sorry i didn't get much of a chance to chat. Will have to make up for it at the next track day - minus car of course :)

I jumped out of the shower this morning to find that im covered in bruises…Lesson learnt?

Never mess with a Maltese giant with a head full of beer, or a manic ex-president wearing khaki pants:)

PS… I need a new avatar, so if no-one has a photo of my new bonnet sticker, then I may have to use the fight club pic:)

Archie...not wanting to scare monger or drum up bad memories :)

But when you get your engine stripped and you suss out what the failure was, it will be interesting to hear if SBS has struck Vic.

You guys seem to be impervious to some of the dramas that NSW GTR boys fall victim to....Jack was a pistion i believe, but it will be interesting to hear if yours was a bottom end, and whether it was from oil starvation :confused: ...whether you can tell such a thing when stripping an engine?

Could just be an age, tune/luck thing...you did say it was pinging a little, but it may help stack evidence re SBS one way or another.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
