No Worries, here is the list. Not everyone is driving, but I think all these guys will be there. What happened to the Events section anyway :D

Also there are a couple of spots free due to last minute car troubles. If you want to come, contact me ASAP. Thanks

Be good to catch up with you and some of the others jason, its been a while.

It has been ages James, good to get out there and have a little fun again!

i might be there just to have a looksy. never been to a sau track day b4 so should be interesting. it will be good to see what some gts-t's do around the track to give me a goal for when im not so cheap. see you there.

Hey, do you still have my old GTST? If so I was driving beside you along Gympie Rd the other night past Chermside in the black 33 4dr. I turned off on Murphy Rd, it still looks good!

I have started packing the car, getting a little excited :bunny:

Yeah, me too!! Am taking spare wheels again but have to swap fronts for rears today. As I found out at skidpan, my new rear tyres have great grip while my shitty fronts are crap and need to go on the rear to be destroyed so that I can validate the need to replace them!!

What tools are you packing Jason?? I always seem to not take the stuff I eventually need. Last time it was wire and zip ties!!

The count down is on. I've been sorting out the lists, having another play with the timing gear and making sure everything is in place. I was worried yesterday wuth the weather, but it looks set to be a geat day.

lol on the zip ties and wire. You never know what you will need.

I usually just take the jack, socket set, screwdrivers, a couple of shifters, some spare coolant, oil, and most importantly, hand soap and and a rag :( Haven't been caught short yet but there is always a first time. . .

Holy trackday action batman!!!

That was a great day, I had a ball. Even the three hours I spent hunched over the timing computer pulling my hair out were fun (in a strange kind of way).

Bummer about the Supra, that thing is a machine.. bigger, better, faster!!!

Hope the day was not too stressful for you Paul, I think everyone would agree the day went really well.

I was really hoping to claim that 1:06 on the clubman but the three 1:09's I did in the same set were prolly more realistic, might have been a misshap with the timing :)

Thans heaps to jmac for taking me out on the passenger drive hour, that was a lot of fun. It was great to see the lines another driver was taking, espacially fun when it is in a 200rwkW r34 with semi slicks!!!

It was great just stuffing around with all the other drivers and volunteers.

Those drift guys were insane, Robbie Bolger is one of a kind and that drift monaro is something else...holy crap!

Once again, thanks heaps Paul, you really go above and beyond for these days.

Cheers,

Pat.

PS: post up some photos, I did not bring my camera!

Yep, thanks to Paul for another great day.

It took me a little while to re-accustom myself with RWD after driving the GTR for the last couple of years but didn't do too bad. I think I managed a 1:06ish for the clubman and a 1:02ish for the sprint. . . . about 1 sec off what I was hoping for but not bad for a GTST sedan with a cat-back. . . :)

Some pics can be found here -

big thanks to paul and all you other guys who volunteered today, i had a great time and i'm pretty sure i'm not alone!!!

i'll be curious to see the times, i think the bridgestone semis were worth about 2 seconds a lap over last time i was there. :P it was a pretty big thrill to keep up with that green drift R32 on the national circuit at the end too.

and pat, no worries mate it was great to have someone along for the passenger rides.

bring on teh videos!!! :wave:

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
