No Crust Racing

Hah, harsh, but I see the point you're making. The value of a car is what the market will tolerate, and at present it is tolerating those prices. What's your personal experience with each?

R35 is also first of a breed, and in many instances buying the first of something is risky business, where as the R34 is the last iteration of that family. I had a 33, I'm one of the few who likes those too I always wanted a 34, but as the R35 becomes more affordable it's a tough call.

Cool, fell free to stop posting in it

Like I said, I will. That doesn't mean we can't chat about it now.

Not looking for someone else to make the call for me, and will definitely drive both, just interested in discussing the merits of both with informed commenters and it seems I'm not the only one. I owned a 33, went for a spin in a similarly modified 34 and it felt very similar to my 33. Drove a 35 before Nissan released them here (just) but it was only a casual spin and yes size was notable as was interior quality differences and low down torque. For me I think it will boil down to how I intend on driving it when it gets rolled out of the shed each fortnight/month.

Ahh yeah I get you, no consecutive flat out laps stuff. Which I'll miss if we do end up that way.

They seem to do hill climb/khanacross there according to Bob and a number of clips on YouTube. I did notice track seemed tight. I'm spoiled here

Obviously for max exposure, not everyone frequents the Motorsport section and given I basically never see discussion in the MS section about events on the Central Coast, I thought it couldn't hurt to widen the net. Thanks for the suggestions. Raleigh seems an OK option to get a fix, had a good chat with Bob from Coffs Harbour Car Club, nice guy. Or I could swap my Silvia for a Rally car...

Looking forward to seeing the car in action after following it for a while, I'll be sure to come by and try to fan girl on you etc.

Yep, I've just contacted them for a chat, see what they have to say.

Same, maybe I can get him to sign my cleavage?

Hmm that's not the track I drove Go Karts on up there last time. Do you know if they do any grip driving there? Probably not if it's setup for karts, too narrow, no proper run off/safety etc. Go karts starting to look like the only option. Is there any Rally around that way? I see Hillclimbs on that event list!

The missus is keen to get up that way for family - we're currently in Albury/Wodonga and about an hour from Winton, Wilby, and 10misn from the new Logic track. I have a track car that I have a feeling I won't be able to do anything with in Coffs Harbour? I've had a look around and can't see anything besides a Go Kart track, surely that's not the only motor sport that goes on up there? Newcastle and The Farm are both 3-4 hours away, Eastern Creek is further and any of the QLD tracks are also miles away.

Fair points

I don't need or want that much grunt nor will I be removing interior/sound deadener etc. Street car.

Hah! Time for some goon of fortune!

I've dabbled, I was surprisingly impressed.

Real men drink whatever they like. No judgement here.

Yeah I don't mind if you like a mixer with your scotch/bourbon etc.

I'm basically married and I have no interest in dirty slÜts lol

We can agree to disagree then, I'll see you there and we can settle this like gentleman over scotch and blackjack.

So you're a masochists who also has a penchant for drama and gossip, got it Fair points.

Why are you in this thread then? Genuine question. not being facetious.

That doesn't really answer the question though. Just because older TA cars had basic aero, why does that mean the category shouldn't continue to push the boundaries in the quest for seconds? You can only have so much power and put it to the ground, eventually you have to make up time elsewhere. Tyres, suspension, aero, etc. Or would you rather cars still be running the same times as Tsukuba as they were 5yrs ago?
