Yeah Russ we were 6th in teams. I finished 6th in drivers and Chris 7th in Co-drivers.

Basically we made too many mistakes at the start as we were trying to do everything at 10/10th to make up for the lack of power we had. But, if we'd kept our noses clean we'd have been VERY close to the pointy end. I think in the end we made 9 mistakes in 58 events which is about 8 more than you can afford to make.

Whilst there is a lot of cones I really like the cone stuff. There is no better looking car to be handbraked around cones than a GT-R and we still get some damn good results in the tight events. And really most of the cone events are still quite fast.

Looking forwards to next year already. I reckon in my car we'd have come close this year as we'd have been able to play a little safer in the area's we made mistakes on and made up points with the extra HP in the speed events.

Cool. I was pretty happy with my first run, it was hell slow but as soon as the thing went sideways around the first cone I knew I was going to be painfully slow so just had some fun

My tyres didnt end up in near as bad a condition as yours though...i hope to get at least Calder out of them, but i doubt they are much good to anyone other then for some skids :P

good job snowy! must have shit ya knowing the power of your machine!

and roy i know what ya mean the rally can become quite expensive

repairs,tyres, fuel, brakes, time and lack of sleep!!

how was the z tune???

Hey Datsun's are cool. But I know what you mean Roy, 300k is a bit much for a nissan.

Thanks to all the SAU peeps who came down and supported us. Was great to see so many faces and then try to put on a show for you all.

That last motorkhana was cool. (above video) As soon as I finished I just wanted to go right back to the start and do it again.

Highlight for me was taking out first in four events. Was a little unexpected, but I guess all the pushing 10/10ths in the first two days at least got us something respectful.

They are great, i want a 1200 Coupe :)

But, id rather your R33 and say a porn TVR rather then a Z-Tune :)

I had a 1200 coupe before the GTR. I've owned a few over the years actually. This one ended up with a very strong Stewart Wilkins 1995cc L18, and weighed 851kg with 1/2 tank. I'll build another 1200 one day, with a turbo 1200cc engne (I've experimented with a couple of turbo A12/A14 engines already) for IPRA U2L...

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
