Great day.. thanks again Paul for organising it all!

Times were pretty slow, but good learning experience. Least it was cheap on the tyres..

Think that kitty litter is going to take a few weeks to fully shake out of my car though (late brake woops)

Yeah I had a good day just drifting around, bummer about the rain - I was keen to try and post some good times.

Had fun anyway.

Thanks again Paul and Tim.

My very patient girlfriend took heaps of photos so I'll post up a couple of good ones when I get them.

Yeah great day Paul / Tim I had plenty of fun especially coming on to the the front straight you get a lot of sidewards action there.

Just one thing thou that page you got with the track times on you should put these times we got today under its own section like a (Wet weather track day times) then if we have another wet day like today we then can try and bet them times.

Just a suggestion

Cheers

Predator - yup sold the Grey GTSt and upgraded to the GTR but transferred the plates over. Which car were you in?

Disappointed not to conpare times between the 2 cars, however definately a totally different car to drive in the wet, so day wasn't a complete waste. Learnt the cars limits (and mine). Drifting a GTR in the wet is fun even if you do spin second corner on your warm up lap. oops :P

...that would be a good thing..... right(?) ;) ! Nothing compared to your mates rx7 though!!

I think it was the wet on the tyres.. does sound interesting though..don't often get to hear your car from the outside.

Some good shots in that selection of all you guys.

toy33.. ahh, makes sense now...you were getting some nice rich flammage out that back down the straights. I was in the black 32

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
