We hear of many Big HP street machines on these Forums claiming mega RWK etc...... Why not seperate the Men & Women from the Boys & Girls. Last night I witnessed 2 skylines both R32 GTR both claiming similar power 300RWK Plus. The results were devastating for one of them!

Any High Power skyliners out their interested in a Tues night cruise.... unleashing some Skyline Terror midweek!

Potential times & Place that will attract the right calibre of Skyline 200RWK+ ??????

Ed just bring your pet snake and I'm sure car jacking wont be a problem.....

There are some serious street machines out there from both North & West, Im not a regular at these sort of meets so I leave the option open for a street meet with the regulars.

Cruise to Gong Maybe, heaps of road to unleash those RWK and no weekend warriors to contend with, purely enthusiasts!

Meet LaParouse?,Harbour Bridge?, Cronulla?..........

Duncan, the driver is just as important as the Car....... this isnt about comparing Mines Bigger than yours, its about the way you use it!

You may have a Big HP street car that runs fast 1/4 mile times, but if you haven't got the Balls to drive it 10/10ths whats the point.

If you tell me youve got 350RWK on Elf racing Fuel and run 10's with slicks thats great...... Were talking daily drivers on Pump fuel turn key & head interstate without a concern.

Take it to a trackday then, safe, legal and no cops.

Times will show how good a driver you are.

10/10ths is for the track.

8/10ths is for the street.

Hey, I think Duncan meant circuit racing at the Creek with street cars , street tyres & pump fuel. If you feel like a challange, come down to the Oran Park track day, see the thread in the NSW Event section.

SAU does not condone any form of illegal street racing.

Thank you ,

:werd: x eleventy billion.

Good to see we have aroused some emotion on this thread....

Ed if you want to compare driver skill and the size of your Kahunas, then I suggest Go-Kart racing (Rotax 125 series)..... same machine,only driver skill makes the difference.

Duncan has a valid point about the stopwatch does'nt lie, we would all like to know who the Big players are so we can learn from their level of Mods.

If a track day attracts this level of enthusiam then so be it..... Eastern Creek over Oran park any day!

But until then lets play Ball at 8/10ths Ed! There are some Keen Skylines outhere Im sure.

Dumb question but what do u actually do at a track day ?

Is it just you skyline guys or are their a 100 other sorts of cars ?

Are you free to just cut laps as you please or do you have a certain time period etc ?

I'd love to go to a track day just so that i can work out the limits of my car on a wide open circuit without the worry of cops or other cars.

no worries how about your skyline against my N/A 2.0 car @ wakefield?

I wouldn't expect to beat you but sure as hell expect to be within 2secs behind your lap times.

Up for it? Gauntlet has been laid. :D

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
