  1. photos anyone?

    No pics up yet, but here is something that one of the execs did

    I had dimpled and slotted rotors front and back with cant remember what pads, high temp motul brake fluid and braided lines, so I don't know...

    Your pads are the most crucial part, good brake fluid and slotted or dimples rotors are to help keep the surfaces cool

    If the pads are crap then none of it will be any good :/

    Check out what ones you have and their temperature rating, might not need that big brake kit

  6. Haha if he wanted a r34 u would think he would have bought one but yeah waste of money really..

    then again you's all drive gts's, and for rota grids better in my opinion haha.

    Haha there you go again, talking about things you know nothing about

    To clarify, both me and the owner of the white R33/34 also own R34 GTR's

  7. Fake parts its a fake.. I dislike wanna beees, Either have one or dont simple.

    Guys like you make me laugh mate, Im pretty sure nobody cares what you think or dislike.

    If you dont know WHAT or WHO you are talking about, then dont.

    Because you just look like an idiot to those of us who know the guy and how far from a "wanna beee" he is lol

  8. Haha apparently not

  9. The r33 out in daylight for once. Only showing a pic of the front as the tail lights have water in them, need to find a set of aftermarket led units that don't look cheap...

    I have a mint set of factory tail lights from my '98 if you are interested

    Nice car :)

    good luck with that. very few of them are nice, i'd suggest going for red lensed LED's. they look neater than the clear ones.

    Oh, I see how it is Bodo! :nyaanyaa:

  10. Just a few days to go guys!

  12. Firstly I would like to apologize for not getting there this morning. I simply didn't read the details correctly and assumed it was tomorrow morning. This does suck. Both myself and Daniel were looking forward to going.

    Now that I have apologized I do have a couple of questions/complaints.

    Firstly, when the first event was cancelled why wasn't a more direct approach to advising people used? Like a private message. Not everyone lives on the forum but most people will check their emails where they would see a private message notification. This would have made things easier for me and I am sure others.

    Secondly, whilst this is a complaint of sorts it is more a question to understand the reasoning. Why do we have to do Happy Laps at QR to qualify for Happy Laps at lakeside? Is this an SAU rule? My biggest beef with this is I am 10mins from lakeside and 2hrs from QR and both Daniel (.R33.)and I have done happy laps at Lakeside, just not with SAU. Just wanting to understand the logic. I think it's unreasonable to expect people to travel 2hrs (despite me being willing too) to qualify to drive at a track 10mins away.

    On that note, can Daniel and I do happy laps at Lakeside even though we haven't done one at QR and have actually done them at Lakeside, just not with SAU?

    Cheers.

    I have just replied to Daniels message he sent me

    As a forum, it is common practice to check an events thread atleast the day before the event, there are plenty of reasons outside of our control that would cause an event not to go ahead.

    This is not the only place that the events are advertised and it isnt a simple/quick task to message all the attendees individually, nobody has had an issue with the thread cancelation notice before.

    As gts25t4door said, The rules are in place to protect the safety of both our members, and our reputation with the raceway.

    The new rules were implimented after the worst happened with a member writting their car off on the track. - This is a happylaps event and nobody should be ABLE to lose control under the guidelines of the expected behavior.

    As such, QR is used as a probation for members safety, to pick out the people who do not know how to behave/need more practice on a track because it is a far safer track with run-off areas. Lakeside is not.

    However, we are happy to accept the word of our members that have been on lakeside before, and they are welcome to attend our happylaps sessions there, as long as all other rules are adhered to
