135i? They can be flash tuned to some silly number too. Plus, you get all the other niceties of a BMW. Still RWD, Still Manual, if that's your thing. Obviously an AWD turbo is easier to just add power and have that added power translate to forward momentum

Out of curiosity I googled "stock times at Wakefield" and saw this: -Porsche 911 GT2 (997) 1:05.05 -Lamborghini LP640 1:06.70 -Porsche 911 GT3 (997) 1:07.40 -Porsche Carrera S 1:08.50 -Mercedes CLK63 Black 1:08.60 -Mitsubishi EVO IX 1:09.39 -Audi TTS 1:09.40 -Mitsubishi EVO X 1:09.50 -BMW 135i Coupe 1:09.90 -FPV F6 08' 1:09.90 -FPV F6 (auto) 1:10.10 -Subaru WRX STi (My05) 1:10.10 -Nissan 350Z Track 1:10.30 -Lotus Exige 1:10.66 -Mazda FD3S 1:11.50 -Ford XR6 Turbo UTE 1:11.70 -Mazda RX8 1:11.80 -Nissan S15 ADM 1:12.50 -Mazda 3 MPS 1:13.00 -Honda DC2R 1:13.00 -Honda DC5R 1:13.00 -Peugeot 207 GTi 1:13.50 -Renault Clio 197 1:13.70 -Mitsubishi Ralliart Colt 1:14.00 -Alfa Romeo 147 GTA 1:15.00 -VW Golf R32 1:15.00 -Ford Fiesta XR4 1:15.40 -Peugeot GTi6 1:16.00 -Mazda 3 Sedan 1:20.90 Some of those seem pretty underrated/responsive to mods as well. I don't know of anyone going from a souped up GTR to a Stock 350Z anytime soon. Put a pro driver in your R33 GTR and see what they do relative to us mere mortals I do personally rate the Evo X though. I have driven one and a friend has one. 220kw at the wheels and some Ohlins + AD08R's and you're like, well, what else do you really need?

Nah I'd be happy to include my car and $27,000 cash his way obviously If he doesn't want to track, my car is the obvious choice

That GTR really is mint. Birds, tell your work colleague he really needs to swap for the same car in auto sedan form because, I dunno, he's having a child now and needs something with baby seats.

I actually drive like a super grandpa. 20% throttle and a rev limit of 3k is my jam.

I get about 220km to a tank. Tank being 50L. Driving being a mix of highway and day to day traffic. My AFR on cruise is about 16:1. Your guess is as good as mine lol.

no

A good looking crazy chick is like hard parking a show car.

Only downside to the RS (had a discussion recently re: Mustang v Focus RS, really want to see a back to back anywhere) is that its new. Everything else here isn't. No doubt a Mustang or Focus RS with a couple of years depreciation on them will be very, very, very attractive. But right now the OP is really going to just eat the depreciation in the face.

Buy my R34 sedan Real world though, there isn't anything that comes to whats been mentioned, i.e Evo X or I guess Subaru if for some reason you want an evo which is uglier and worse. Or you could buck the trend and do something like a sedan XR6T/Typhoon/Holden equivalent. Have seen some go the 335i/135i route too. Truthfully you can see for track smashing simpler is often better, so it may be smarter to keep a daily and make your track hack something less prone to breaking than a super boosted Nissan of any kind, i.e get something like a S2000 or MX5 or light RWD old 325/328i BMW to give the heavy foot to.

Don't need fancy alcohol cabinets when you actually drink the stuff.

I would have thought dyno tuned and run up many multiple times you would think that if it's gonna be solid it's going to be solid. I guess I was ultimately wrong about that, but at what point do you seriously assume it's going to be OK?

because greg car™

Anyone got a set of drag tyres/rims gathering dust?

The two are not mutually exclusive, you can go 2in larger in diameter but you reduce the sidewall height of the tyre so that the entire rolling diameter is within +15mm

Driver training? Didn't know that was even a thing. Just saw the event and the car sort of semi-works so decided to bite the bullet, go slow and have fun! As for the days, most of the negative reviews seemed to be from a few years ago, but thought people posting here may have more up to date information if there's anything terrible to look out for.

As someone who has never done Winton before (or only done a track day in a completely different car in completely different track and different country) this is a worry lol. Are Tampered days really that bad? Have heard nothing but "lol, I don't go to tampered days" from literally 100% of people that it's come up with in conversation.

How did you not actually just start laughing on the spot?

This man is the patron saint of Greg's car:

My car is working, so as long as I don't drive it at all, or look at it, or sneeze around it or interact with it in any way.... I will then break it at DECA

Get my RB28 built and off the road literally 20km after At least your money can conceivably come back

I feel sufficiently emasculated when someone just casually drops 50k at something based on a post on Vic WL

I can confirm it's not the cam cover seals as there is no oil anywhere near the cams, or rocker covers

It was originally gold, and I thought it was trans fluid (Transmax Z is gold) but it was just new oil as it gradually got darker, and the fact all the PS stuff was completely spared. It also gets all over the hard trans lines and where they connect to rubber joiners so I've had many "Ah I bet its just XYZ!" to be found no, sorry, it is not XYZ. This is what I thought too, the highest oil was on the merge point of the top and lower cover, I can't think of anything else it really could be, hence the post because I r n00b

Yeah I figured it was pressure related, but wasn't really sure how more pressure wouldn't just cause something to fail fully. What I meant by a4 sized, is that the patch on the plastic cover under the engine (under the sump etc) is about the size of an A4 sheet of paper. Don't know much about oil (of all the problems Ive had this one is new) Cams all look dry, well rocker covers at least. Nothing is oily above where the Harmonic balancer is, so I figure it has to be the crank seal, but again, don't really know shit and could very easily be something else I never knew about
