Hey Russ,

Have you had any confirmation that you are in? I only just sent my entry off during the week via snail mail so I haven't heard anything. Fingers crossed we both get the invite and we can have another battle and wave the SAU flag!

It's a long standing joke between a few of us regular Vic drivers (Me, Scotsman and a few others) and some of the NSW boys (like Duncan) that the NSW GTR drivers can't drive because it seems the fastest lap time are all (or were) set by GTST drivers as far as these forums are concerned.

There are some amuzing threads hidden away on these forums about which is faster on the track between a GTR and a GTST. This is what I was going on about.

...lol, and to date we havent managed to do a State of Origin clash :) Could this be it, i mean if we head up for a practice day... :)

Can someone email me a scanned entry form? tbrisby at yahoo.com.

Ill see if they let me enter before worrying about what lap times i do. Ill be stoked if i could do a sub 1:10, which means 1:09.99 or better :) That has always been my goal...but probably not quick enough...do they ask you to nominate a lap time or anything.

...and from now on i promise not to let boredom dictate the jibberish that i post on SAU :D

Picked up the magazine again and had a look at the application form. They are actually being picky with who goes in the competition. They are giving more competitive cars preference. You have to fill in what modifications your car has to the engine, suspension, wheels and tyres and body.

Which is bollocks, since a faster driver is a lot more important than a "fast" car. But then again, ASM has always been about the eye candy rather than about the driving. They'd rather have a flashy looking car with a novice behind the wheel than some guy in a beat up old car who knows how to use it.

I remember their Street Car of the Year edition...while most of their field did great as dyno queens and at the drags (and on the looks, natch), about half the field didn't even make it past the practice session at Wakefield and get to run the proper timed laps.

I know what you mean... buuuutttttt I probably should have added that they want to know what times you have done at the tracks you have been too.... Its at the bottom of the application form. My bad.... :P

Roy: I am trying to scan it but the stupid thing won't work... It lights up scans and then the program locks up..... stupid pile of sh*t....

Andrew mate, that's a bit harsh. I'm not sure i completey understand what you mean though? BUT i cant wait to see you in your GTR on the track, bring on the NSW sprint i say. I know i will be there, possibly not in the GTR though :P

Troy, just enter you limp bastard. we all know how crap a driver you are so there is no expectation of doing well. I will even come down wearing a T-shirt that reads: "Troy Brisby has a huge WANG...so he claims" and cheer you on.

ROFL...you have caught me out...if my times suck my fall back is "its only a GTST, what do you expect" , but if they are half respectable then i take all the cudos:)

Get me an entry form and i will enter...we will see how i go. I dont take anything serious so what do i care, i can see the good in any situation, even if it means i was the quickest resprayed silver 92 model car with a blonde tool driving...im sure to win that class :)

..and the shirt should read, "real men drink 12 cans before a sprint session..." ;)

Damn - we'll if you and Notaris enter this that's already a pretty decent line up. Although if he brings the EVO we'd have a chance of beating him in a competition for once although I have herad he has done hundreds of laps around that track. Be interesting to see if any of the big porka's are there too.

Infact it's going to be very interesting to see WHO gets the invites to this as as mentioned Autosalon have always been about looks more than anything else and it seems they may have a fair few entries.

If they make an auto category I'm a chance. :D:D

A number of good points made here. Snowy - you have the R34 GTR and you can drive it so you are in for sure. Roy - R32 GTST smells bad - no chance. Just perpetuating the stereotypes. :(

If one M. Notaris Esq. is driving,my money is on him:F**KING fast,with a million consistantly fast laps 'round Wakefield. What's the chances The Creek may get a run? That'd suit the BIG Kw cars(and the watermelon-sized privates)of the faster cars...?How about P.Island,too?It'd be good to see ASM put their money where their publishing deadline is...

Well i just had a look at their website and their isnt any info on the event.  Can someone help me out with a date of the event, and when entries have to be in by?

I am 99% sure it was the 31st of january. Maybe ring them to see if you can get an application form.

That video of the gtr, the car was fast but the driver was pretty ordinary. He was backing off halfway down the straight and was getting compression lock all the time from not enough heel-and-toe. Still would have been heaps of fun though, that thing flies..... :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
