Marlin

Hey guys, please keep your eye out for this trailer. It belongs to fellow GTR'ers Drew and Georgie Jorgensen from Victoria. It's just been stolen and it's not insured. Just asking for you to keep an eye out and if you spot it call 000. It's pretty distinctive so lets find it hey! Rego was C33107 Thanks in advance!

^^^ lol... what are you towing BB? Caterpillar excavators?

I can't agree with "other" r comps besides Yoki's not perfoming better with heat in the wet..... but we'll just agree to disagree. I don't believe anyone would give a marshall the finger as you say they are volunteers. On noise, I'm not entering the debate about QR's recording accuracy, but I will highlight why some factory cars won't pass. ADR states that the noise test is recorded between two points, at maximum acceleration from a prescribed speed, in a prescribed gear. I don't know the figures off my head, but lets say it's in second gear, from 30klm/h, and the test lasts 60 mteres. A Hyundai won't accelerate much, and may reach say 50klm/h. A Frezza will go harder, maybe say, reaching 80klm/h and 5500 rpm...... BUT, Ferrari/Asrton?Audi et all design their exhaust secondary vavles to open over the speed obtained in the test, and thats when they get too loud to both comply with the ADR and of course these track days. It's a sneaky way around it, but it's legal, but at restricted tracks it's always been an issue. Only have to look at the UK's experience for years to see that.

Hi Danny, I'm Ben That's my old Skyline in my pic to the left there. I made the comment about the out the gate antics, saw you tank slapping up the strait out of the pits. I fail to understand (I'm a humble newby of course) how that judges much at all really? If I recall correctly you were on R comp tyres? I run R comps too, and I normally feel my way around gingerly to get a feel for the grip level, whilst trying to get some heat into the tyre where it will actually make some grip. In my experience when stone cold they're like concrete regardless, but then, maybe yours are different to the ones I use. My car has about 200RWHP, and I found that I had wheelspin absolutely anywhere I even looked like using full throttle. It was very slippery that day! I struggled also because my tyres are very very old, and were/are virtually bald, in fact they're blue from getting them too hot at the previous meet With that in mind, I cautiously felt my way around until I was confident to have half a crack on my fifth lap, and I believe that time was a 1:13.29.... and I didn't even hit anything! Who woulda thunk it hey!? 4th fastest for the day, not bad all things considered I reckon. A bunch of my mates that enjoy coming out were loving your display of bravado around the circuit, certainly looked spectacular, oh and the sound! Sounds great mate. I had to show them though on the sheets that I was actually a fair bit faster than you though, by nearly exactly seven seconds.... again, stoked for a newby While they were up laughing and having a ball watching you come around under Dunlop and into Hungry, I was down having a smoke behind the frantic flag marshall at the tower..... and I could have sworn that you saw his flag, because I could see the whites of your eyes..... but thats getting a little off topic, sorry. Damn, this has turned into a bit of a novel, I better get back to work, catchya later mate.

I reckon I paid a few hundred over the odds, but I needed it Friday and thats who had one This guy on Ebay says he has a Beaver Tail in stock for the same price (3100), and 50 bucks delivery to Brissy http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...bayphotohosting Edit: this guys been on a cruise so i couldnt contact him last week

32's have done Pikes Peak also, won the Production class one year I think too? Murray Coote told me back in the early nineties when I posed him the question that weight was a major factor, as was the general complexity of the GTR in comparison to period cars. I think he said suspension travel might have also been an issue? But the goalposts have kinda moved these days haven't they, even Evos and Sti's are north of 1500 kg now. Maybe one would be ok, but I still reckon they'd be an understeerer, what with that big cast engine and diff hanging out the front. I'd LOVE to see and drive one though!

Oh Kel.... you silly duffer! Hope you heal quick as brew!

Get onto Timmy mate....... he sux, so he's probably available

Ok great! I'm gonna be there next month Assuming the car survives Morgan Park on the 30th

Tough as nails that S15! I'd love to say i am putting GTR bits on it, but I don't think the rules allow, and its just more expensive when it goes into the scenery. And it already owes too much. Shoulda known, no such thing as a cheap race car. Just finished putting the cooler on though Awesome hey! lolol yeah, I'm cutting more reo......

lol... you know every time you pull a sticker it'll need painting. After rain would be likely too.

Ahhh ok ok I got ya now Thanks for explaining it. I'm a little retarded and can take some time to pick these things up. When I said I was there for the cheap days I meant the QR run days, ie, 99 bucks, as opposed to the Rennen 300 dollar days. If I could have made all four I definately would have been there, even if I couldn't give a toss about the points They can't re-open it soon enough!

Bogan's well and truly out.... in fact, I have a pack of Winnie Blues rolled up in my shirt sleeve today..... Oh, and I lost another tooth this mornin.

I NEED to what Stu? I reckon its a good weekend job, once I have the rest of the GTR sh1t to put on it it's a go

I'm seriously considering painting mine matt black. Externally. With pressure packs. Matt did his with pressure packs, and once some signwriting is on it, looks aight. Any thoughts guys? Too rough? Matt's 7urd; http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=301412

Ummm, ok? So I should feel glad coming 4th? I was there for the cheap days, 4th's a bonus! lol Though, Tony's times are faster, he only went twice, same as me, he had the fastest times, but came 3rd? Is there some kind of regularity index thrown in there, becasue I don't follow it.

Well done How are the points worked out?

Yeah it's charged by the kg so a trailer is pretty dear. The one I've got uses Blue Scope thick wall tube (not China crap) and is Hammertone finished, so honestly, it'll out-last me. Especially if I don't quite smoking soon. edit: Changed "fagging" to smoking.... woulda left myself wide open.

Cheers fungus. whats doin this weekend? Is it beers/alignment/corner weighting/bourbon time? lol

Apologies in advance if I've missed it somewhere, but if you guys are going to build Moly cages won't you need an engineers certificate for CAMS? And don't they run to 3k plus these days?

Replied to your PM Ben. I got a 15ft version, I like to have some room and it might even be better come resale time.... the beaver tail is good, very easy to load and no fluffing about. Edit: Oh, and the floor to guard clearence it 180mm, so my 32 has about 70mm clearance.

Here mine, brand new got it Friday..... I've been driving around everywhere with the 'line on it this weeknd just to see how it tows and find a balnce sweet spot Would have considered getting one via Bobby but this one was a lot closer to me. Now the customising starts.... I think i'll kick off with 12V, running water, mount the compressor, tyre rack, tool box, and hopefully some through-floor ratched tie downs

Meh.... although we don't use it in motorsport, it's just another thing that the aftermarket tuners will be able to program into it.....

Any colour folks... need one for my rally car.... get your 15 minutes of fame! Imagine it, you can say to your mates, "that's my old bonnet!" as you watch my car go flying through the trees on the evening news! How cool would that be! I'm ready to collect it! PM or text/ph me, 0438 830 641. Thanks!

lol... here's a cracker,..... before one of the stages I spent 10 minutes telling Giant how slippery the first corner was, how we spun there in the R34 in 2006, taking out two guide posts...... So, we take off, big demo for the crowd, what happens? We half-spin, taking out two guide posts.... identical! lolol wish I could remeber what I said through the intercom lol... where's Giant?
