Had a great time on the track...thanks to steve for organising on the day and others who made it happen, sorry didnt get to say bye to everyone as you guys were on the track still. Nice to put faces to names as well and to meet you guys/ladies.

Thanks Doodz for letting put my stuff in your garage appreciated that. Lucky no walls there went off 3 times :), for sure semi slicks or better tyres will improve handling and confidence.

Hi people, man what a day! thanks to steve and Adam for the day and for the accomodation, pity we all stunk! :)

I couldn't believe how sticky those semi's were, I was really throwing the car around the track and at the end of the day i was even trying to get a powerslide going out of some corners but they just stuck to the track like shit to a blanket! People i really can't express how good these are, the hotter they got the better they stuck. I knew i had the grip there but not as much as i did!

Jon, i really do feel sorry for you, for both track days now half the day you've been fixing something! just glad you got it sorted and got out there, impressive times for road tyres! Same for Shaun, i think if you got semi's on you would've got down to 1.12 -1.13 easy! Ando for a car running 6psi that thing sure does get moving, i couldn't get by you on the straight but glad i could keep up through the corners. James i hope you liked your ride, sorry it wasn't as quick as i took Liz around but she brings the best out in me, with the quote "man hit the ripples, your driving like a pussy!" with that i thought thats it if i go off who cares just as long as i scare Liz, but i didn't dammit. OZGTR thanks for the fast lap, and some tips, will take it all on board, and if there's a passenger session at EC i'll put my hand up now.

Anna bandana and Bunts nice to meet you both, hope you find a house down here soon.

And Thanks to my cuz who became my pit crew for me, nice to spend some time with ya and have a drink,or six :)

Dave that car of yours is a weapon, would love to see it fully prepped for a track day a 1.13 on street tyres! man just awesome.

Anyway looking forward to EC, doubt i'll be as quick there as i was here but i'm up for it. Need power at EC which i don't really have.

Cheers!

Adam.

Just got home...I would like to thank every one for making us feel so welcome. It was a great event and had a really awesome atmosphere, also I was impressed by the way that all (that I know) of you guys managed to cut down on your PB's by a fair bit over the course of the day:D

Special thanks goes to Ando and Corinne for taking me for a "spin" eh Corinne??? :)

That was cool!

It was my first time to a track day (even as a spectator) and I was very impressed with the cars and the driving.

Im keen to get out there myself and will for sure next time.

I may have to go to a few of the 'speed of the street day's and get some times behind me :D

well done to everyone :)

Hi all, wow, what can I say, an amazing weekend. Just wanna say thanks to all the people that organised this event, I had a great time there. Also big thanks to Steve who went out with me on the first session and checking my oil levels. A big thanks to Norm for helping me with the securing the air filter and tidying up the front bar to a more respectable level. Thank you adam for showing me the power of semi slicks, 1.13 is a remarkable time to get, especially with only stock boost, you sure know how to drive adam, but i'll beat you one day :D A round of thanks goes to UAS for fixing my car in 3 days just in time for the track day. Last but not least, a big thanks to my car for holding it all together through all this.

As much I would love to get semi slicks for the next event, I don't think I deserve them at the moment. I still need practice getting the braking points correct and getting some good speed out of corners but I definitely learned a great deal through this event and I hope to improve my times at the next event.

It was great meeting you people in person. Hi Anna, Buntaaaaaaaa, Ando, Corinne and anyone else I missed. I especially enjoyed getting wasted with you people on saturday night.

Now BRING ON THE PHOTOS!!! how about me getting off the track 3 times and trying to drift on the S curves :)

James not a problem, i didn't really drive hard with you in the car, i didn't want to say anything but mate, i had no brakes! the pedal kept going to the floor! so didn't really push it. Would've liked to scare the shit out of you though.

And yes, yes i do know how to drive :)

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Stagea identification?

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
