  1. Do the cam gears. Best engine mod I have done. Makes the car spool up faster as well as more power. Without question great value for money. Mick.
  2. 32 for me. Whilst the 32 is slightly faster in a straight line there is a greater difference once the road gets twisty. The 32 due to being lightler and a shorter wheel base has superior cornering ability. It is far more race car like in it's feel. It is and feels and lot smaller. Mick.
  3. Ok donate to who for what? I may have missed soemething but what are u talking about? Mick.
  4. There are literally hundreds of very good roads that hold very little traffic and are great driving roads. Due to the hilly nature of Victoria we have so many areas that all entail great corners. I will not go into specifics as I don't want to ruin them for me . I will often now go out at 10pm on a week night so that the roads are quiet etc. I agree that the Dandenongs are a great area once off the main roads. The black spur is awsome but so hard to get a good run on it due to traffic and as you are going so quick to make it truly fun you risk your licence. The Reefton Spur is fantastic but once again gets screwed up by traffic. Especially bikes who just love it but they can hold you up something feirce. Usually to get a run at Reefton you have to be there real early. We usually leave home at around 5-6 am which gets us there when there is very little traffic. All the roads that lead to the moutains that hold snow usually are pretty nice. But like Dandenongs you want a map to have a look at to find the back way up. One mountain near melbourne has a 24 and then a 16 KM twisting road that is almost unused. In about 8-10 trips up and back we have come across 2 cars total. Roads around and beyond the King Lake area are also well worth a drive. There are many roads also down around the Mornington Penisula. Obviously Authers Seat is the pinicle but it has been about 10 years since I have had a clear run at that without it being the Historic. BUt there are others around the area. Some of the HILLS around there are RED hot. Obviously we also have the Otways etc down the other side. Also if you are prepared to travel to get to them there are a huge amount of roads from the far east coast up into the northern border. Also further down sth east off the Princes Hwy heading too the cost there are some very seriously good roads. Well that should give people enough to keep looking at for a while. Mick.
  5. Whats sort of keys to you guys get out of your R-rated tyres? Include how many track days you go to. Mick.
  6. Just out of interest I take it the GTR's were on slicks as well? Mick.
  7. Have never driven around Oran Park so can't say what I have orwould do but I now have a bench mark if I am ever to give it a go. But what I am writting for is to say great job and good time. Above all else to get these times you need to be a good steerer. Well done. Mick.
  8. I'd say boost controller and adjustable cam gears. Mick.
  9. Hmm there is certainly nothing hugely wrong there. 1degree neg camber is not a big concern thats for sure and 2mm toe is nothing massive either. All looks good there. You may need to get it done again just to make sure that it is right but looking at that all looks good. A rear camber kit may help marginally butif those readings are correct then really it is not going to improve things much. Other than suggesting getting another alignment done just to be sure I don't have much to offer. Sorry. Mick.
  10. I think you would buy them a lot chaeper here with the exchange rate. Mick.
  11. This truly is paramount. You need to make sure they are aware of this and that it is your statement on the night as well. Make sure they are aware that you were doing 50 where you were and not 70 that that was your speed on the previous road. I think that you have 24-48hrs to get this right before you are facing taking responsability for this accident. Mick.
  12. I suggest that you seek some legal advice. The way this is going you are going to wear it in the neck. Wait till your insurance finds out you have on the report that you were speeding and that you had no lights on. They will try very hard to drop you like third period french. You need to be on the offencive here and get this sorted asap. The longer this goes on the further this is going to get screwed up. Mick.
  13. Shows just how much Simon and his crew know. Very impressive. Mick.
  14. Bump and price down to $250.00 incl Postage within Australia. Mick.
  15. Thr GTR could have gone higher probably could some of the others but the straight at avalon is 3km long and you hit it at about 65km/h so most of the cars where Running our of road. Tony was adimant that he could have done 310. Would of been great if Ben's car was there but oh well. This stuff was supposed to be in "Motor" magazine but as yet no show. Mick.
  16. If it is wearing on the inside then it is toe out. Mick.
  17. Yes it certainly should be there. Let me know what they are and I can tell you if that is the problem. Even if u do have a problem with the suspension it should show up on the alignment. If you cant figure it out let me know and I will get a fax number you can send it to so that I can have a look and see what it says. Mick.
  18. First thing you need to do is get someone who knows what they are doing to have a look at the car and see what it is doing now. It may be that nothing is suited and the balance etc is all over the place and even that it is too low now and thus does not allow enough suspension travel. Mick.
  19. What camber, castor and toe are you running? The alignment guys should have told you this. Mick.
  20. I would say 51Jay is right (can't remember the axact wires from the ecu) but also found it worked fine even running green to any ign power. Mick.
