I'm in for this one. Will bring the wife for some co pilot turns as well. I will email Aaron my CTP extension and indemnity direct if that is ok with you guys. Anyone else out there contemplating going it is really good fun and you don't need prior experience to enjoy having a go. Totally suitable for absolute beginners as well as people with lots of track experience wanting to improve their car skills. It takes about an hour twenty minutes from the twin BP servos on the highway at Morayfield. The complex is on the southern approach to Gympie right beside the highway on the RH side, so very easy to find.

Fair enough if you don't need UHP tyres. For my daily's I also use a Kumho but the KU39's. No where near the noise of the 36's. Not as brilliant in dry grip (few tyres can keep pace with the KU36 in the dry) but a better all-rounder. Considerably better in the wet and better mileage. There are many good brands around, just depends on what you can get locally and for what dollars. Good luck.

Interesting. I had never noticed those differences you point out. Glad to hear they do not rub the guards which is of course what really matters. All good for your new 245's all round. Pity you weren't in Brisbane as I have talked Costco into a great discount price on Michelin Pilot Super Sport in that size.

You are correct in that both front and rear rims are stamped 18x8 and +30. So it would seem same size and offset. However they are also stamped front and rear as well making you think there must be some difference. If you search the topic on G35 driver you can find a few ideas as to what this could be. One guy claims it is just to ensure that "knuckle heads" don't try and rotate the skinnier 225 tires to the rear. Another claims there is some sort of stud/projection on the wheel mounting plate that prevents the rear wheel from being fitted to the front. He claims if you remove the stud it will mount. I personally can't say I have seen these studs on my rear wheels but haven't as yet tried to fit them to the front. Will try next time I swap my 17inch std rims for the coupe ones. It is probably just to remind people they are not 'front to rear rotatable' I am guessing, as you also suggested in your last post

I also have a set of 18inch coupe rims which I use for motor sport with my sedan. Years ago a mate had 245/45r18 all round without any problems. However he like me has std springs and ride height. Simplest way to tell is to temporarily rotate your wheels front to back for a day and find out. Rims are not identical front to back but are very close. Don't try any fast cornering just some low speed full lock turns to test for touching the guards,

Any one know the link to the photographers website to see photos of today ?

My best R/t was .004

Payment made for self and brother

Can you put me down in my V35. Also can I invite my brother, Rob, as guest in his S15?

As I mentioned last night I will be going +1 in my car. Also my two guests in another car. Marty +1. So all up two cars and 4 people for catering. Will bank transfer $170 now for both vehicles.

I am good to go. Possibly have two guests but they will let me know tomorrow if that's not too late?

Might be able to come now. Will confirm tomorrow night.

I've got a mate interested in the front headrest. Do you still have them and if so how much to buy?

Yes. Aaron takes bookings for Sat or Sunday. The club would need to see what dates are available if we wanted to get a group day together. Probably cost somewhere around $140 per car (up to 2 drivers ) for the day (this generally includes a sausage sizzle lunch and soft drinks).

Yep Kent is running some big horsepower in his 32 now and using E85 fuel. He came down from Bundaberg for this!

Bugger no sound. Sorry guys you'll have to just imagine second gear on the limiter sound track. It did work on the youtube upload!?

Just uploaded some footage of two weekends ago. Hope it works! Should give newbies some idea of size of skidpan and FUN potential.

Exactly what I was going to say. If you got a VQ35DE then use the torque to flick the back out. Just did a slidewize day last Saturday and only used the hand brake for parking!!!

Can you put me down for one of the 9.45am slots thanks Tony.

Transferred funds tonight for myself. +1 no longer able to attend, sorry.

In + 1 . Will transfer funds soon.

Thought I already replied but a quick scan says different. Anyway am definitely in. Have transferred funds on. 05jun.

I'm coming. Hope the mighty v35 can still top 200rwhp !

The door lock mechanism is held by two bolts but to get to them you need to remove door inner liner and the door window glass. Its been a few years since I put my lock cylinder in but from memory I don't think you can access it without removing the window glass. A bit fiddly but not that difficult. The lock cylinder can only be removed /tightened from the inside. Good luck
