Well we've never carried fuel in the car and I wouldn't. That schedule seems a little short mate. Might be worth talking to Vandenbergs..... they're accustomed to filling GTR's.

Timmy has the fuel noted in the road books and can hopefully confirm.....

Day 1. You'll get to lunch day 1 no worries, first coupla stages are just easy driving warm ups. You'll need a splash at the fuel stop in the afternoon of day 1. Day 2. We normally get a splash somewhere after The Sideling. Normaly at the intersection either side of Ledgerwood is a good spot with plenty of room. Then another splash at St Helena from memory (I think there's a pump there?). There's a big long touring stage down to Elephant Saddle, and from memory the boys cut through there to give us more after it which saw us through to the end of the day. I remeber some were also having a slash after Rossarden too. Have the guys who are fueling you actually done it before?

Hmmm not sure either... speedo doesn't work. But around that I'd reckon. Car should be ok I think, it's too stiff suspension wise, especially if it's wet, but my budget simply didn't/doesn't run to swapping it out for something more suitable atm.......

Just spent the last half hour re-reading these past few pages guys. Very entertaining

You're a braver/sillier man that I Greggy! See ya there Uncle Paz/Champ/Flog/Trouser

Very true, it's linear and easy to drive, but is all over by 7k, nowhere near as noisy, peaky, and importantly exciting as yours Briz

I put a fair bit of it's stability down to a hot new wheel alignment spec from Mark and Russ...... if you like, can email the specs?

Flat in 5th I'm grabbing 5th about what, 60m before the tower, and it's around 7,000rpm through the kink.... great corner

Finally i vid from saturday practice http://www.viddler.com/explore/WooManChoo/videos/1/

**cough** suck me **cough**

Viddler hey..... bloody thing sits there saying my video is being uploaded for two hours, I come back, STILL at 0%! Grrrrrr

Sorry to put you off you brekky Snowy Been talking to Dan a bit lately, the boys pumped! Great to see! I'd upload to incar I have of the guy who damaged my car for everyone to have a good old chuckle at, but I don't know how to shorten the clip to 10 minutes to upload it to Youtube? And why isn't Steve Jones on here ffs? He has a GTR.... aren't we all meant to be buddies and pump eachother up a bit?

G'day Harry. Yeah, gotta say I was suprised I didn't see you there. Was looking forward to seeing the new track weapon The new surface it really good, seems to be holding up pretty well. Still no ripple strips though where the tracks been changed, so it's a little hard to really apex well with the fear of cutting the inside wall of a tyre. With the extra layers of bitumen there's quite a drop off now, particularly under Dunlop. I don't think I was really gaining anything time from the new run onto the strait, the approach is really still the same, there's just a little more feeling of security with a few extra metres of bitumen to run wide onto if you overcook it. I'm not sure if I was really attacking that corner as hard as I could have though, I didn't seem to use any of the extra space, was basically running the same rpm, same gear, and ending up about where the outside ripple strip used to be. Again, maybe I wasn't getting the most out of it, I was really there just ticking off the mods for Targa. Getting a decent time was really a bonus though Interestingly, I hunted down a few old soldiers who have alot of time there both pre and post track mods, and they all said they didn't feel the track time was any faster, just felt a little safer. Rod Dawson reckons if your car was an understeering pig in the run onto the strait there may be a little bit in it, but none of the three cars he runs changed there lap time! Amazing really. It may speed up with some rubber into the track and after the oil comes out of it, but I know for certain I couldn't take Dunlop as fast as before, track grip just felt a little down. Bloody hell..... talk about ramble on! lol

Well done Noddy, I was hoping to get out there but Lakeside and a 7hr Kart enduro got in the way. Great to see some Skylines listing in the fastest times, again, very well done to you mate

Yeah can't vouch for this particular Cup car being particularly well driven (I reckon it's have another 4 seconds in it), I was more saying that out of a whole bunch of cars, including Evo 9's and 10's , GTR's, rotors with wide guards and wings etc...... the old 32 held it's head up high.

I'd suggest contacting Giant. I know he has something available and perfectly suitable for you right now.

Which bit/ The damage or lack of finding a sugar Mumma?

lol.... I would stay there if the bloody budget allowed! Need to find a chick with rich parents..... So anyway, car went well at the shakedown at Lakeside saturday, PISSED though, some w*nkaer in a V8 Escort totally showered the car with rocks in an appalling display of driving. Hundreds of serious chips all over the front of the car right through the gelcoat, dented brand new intercooler and radiator, broken windscreen. So she looks like a racer now, but she still feels nice

Always was Spoke to Glenney the other day, he's pumped! Giant finally has a new nav organised, I reckon I'll be permanently out of a seat there!

Agreed with Harry there....... an S13 is a very good option. Finding a decent one is the hardest bit. I cannot say I'm at all dissappointed with my 32 GTS-t though, 3rd fastest (behind a 996 Cup car and Sports Sedan) at saturday's Top Gear meet @ Lakeside says there's plenty of pace to be had with one still Keep in mind that mine isn't a circuit car, it's a tarmac rally car with all the associated compromises that go with that.

I asked Kel to pass on my congrats in a text yesterday Dunc, but here is is again publically mate, well done to you and the team!

Give it to 'im boys! He must have been wound up enough to even bother registering so he could throw his .002 Peso worth of opinion in

Oh how I lurve a good sh*tfight
