boys me and the GTR are out :P car is not ready due to some equipment failure :):banana: :banana:

my other two mates are still coming though, and i 'may' come out anyway in the GTST.

i could use the GTST, but to be honest i'm just pissed and not really in the mood to flog it's little guts out. things may change between now and then though... lol

Hey Paul,

Jus to note, i haven paid yet. Trying to get to aaron. Left a msg but he hasn't got back to mi. Should be paying on the day itself.

Anyways,

This is my first trackie so it would be good if the seasoned trackies can provide some advise to us new trackies. things like any preps to the car? etc.

Cheers and many tks

Jay

J@y this is what I did and was recommended to do:

- Check tyre pressures.

- Check/change brake pads

- Change brake fluid

- Change oil + filter

- Check all fluid levels, and bring spare engine oil and coolant also.

- Get rid of all the crap that moves around inside the car - empty the boot, lose the spare.

- Buy a helmet.

- Dont have the fuel tank 100% full as they leak fuel a lot of the time. Buy a $20 jerry can and fill it up with petrol, then fill the car up 1/2 or 3/4 and keep the jerry can with your stuff in the pits.

- Take a foot air pump (for tyres).

- Make sure car is balanced/aligned well

- Fire extinguisher

That sounds like something i would say "take the "crap" out"

can i just say that i am gutted. this will be an awesome day, on a track that is soon to dissapear for ever.

I feel so sorry that you wont be there, but at least pop that head of yours in and say hello?

I remember reading somewhere he is having 2 more this year at OP GP, maybe when you speak to him ask him about that - i may be wrong, but its worth a shot

pussy

just bring the gts

i have some struts for you special price giggy gig

Thats what i suggested

only thing i'd change on that list is forget the foot pump. wakefield have a compressor (that 'mostly' works). bring a decent tyre pressure gauge instead. like this one:

not this type (they are a bitch):

if you like driving hard it's a good investment. but if you dont want to fork out i'm sure you can borrow one from somone on the day.

He says..

He says..

Take the time, the company is flexible and it sounds like an opportunity not to be missed.

Me..

    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together
