Ok.. its getting close..

Is anybody going to be at station peer around 8pm? If so i'll go down there and meet on the way to calder.. otherwise I will just go straight to calder and call somebody from there and see whether i can meet up with ppl.

I'd go earlier, but I don't get home till 6pm or so anyway.

I'm sure there could be a possible meet afterwards and/or cruise for those that can't/don't want to go to calder... would be around 11pm.

Where was everybody??!

Made it to Station Peer (no.3 basically where the Able Tasman was) about 7:30-7-45pm and there was nobody other skylines! Waited around and had a bit of a look, but still no skylines. Horus turned up, and we had a bit of a drink and things. Phat32 turned up at around 8:30pm and then Myself, phat32, and Horus cruised to calder.

Got to calder about 9 (bit late!), saw a bunch of cars run. Met Hotsky and ?? (are your mates on here?). Mostly supercharged cortinas, toranas, and the like.. although a couple of R33 GTR run 11's. Went to the city, lost phat32 due to parking issues (kinda busy being GP weekend) and ended up at Pug Mahones, where vickii met us bit later.. So we stayed there till 2 after a few drinks and went home.

Overall pretty good night.. no major dramas... although i cracked the hell outta my front bar at calder (time for a bit of a fibreglass repair jobby) when the ground jumped out at me.

I think next time we just need to co-ordinate exact times and things so people can meet up a bit better and have a more defined plan.

nah my mates arent on here at all, one guy bruce(the more talkative one about carshehe) drives a torana, and the other cuy clinton just drives me nuts(no car)

was a pretty good night at the track(best part was meeting a few peeps) didnt catch up with others in city aftrer, phat32 was gonna ring me, but i was 3/4 home when i got a surprise call from MILK lol oh well its all good

yeah..none of the skylines that I saw seemed to be flat shifting.. the changes were sloppy and visible.

Next one is 17th - If my car is running decent again by then might take it down the strip and see how much I can **** up a launch.. hehe

There were quite a few that got under the 10's but most were pretty serious drag-only cars.

il b etheer with u if ur taking it on the 17th

i wanna try break 13's with a stock car.. no boost either.. so friken close last time

speaking of stuffing take offs.. haha cant beat me. i got a 17.9 and stalked it.. ahhaha .. very first time i lined up. i was against a big V8 with no exhaust and shit my elf when he took offf ahhh welll

hopefully i can beat 14.015 and break 13's then il be happy

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
