i had some issues with engine bay temps that were causing the coilpacks to crap out, it was probably a bit noisey for people on the pitwall

there was so much track time it was great, i did probably 190km+ on the track

I had a blast. Just went out to watch some mates drive, and having just gotten back from Wakefield Park in NSW, noticed the massive difference in speeds on this track! What great fun :(

Hey I thought I saw you there, did'nt get a chance to say hello because I was off to the servo with my tail between my legs. :D

I was wondering what others were getting along the straight.

Best I got along the front straight was 169km and then along the back straight when the whole track was opened up, got 187km.

Over all, I clocked up 71k's on the track and used up pretty much a full tank of fuel (minus the fuel from brisbane to the track).

I'm lookin forward to the next one and with my track times I did, I was pretty impressed with my outcome.

Next bit of work to be completed on the car now is suspension, rotors and tyres.

Front Straight (start finish line) I was hitting 170km and the back straight I was hitting speed limiter 180+ with approx 200-300m left of the track. That's the only bad thing with having a tiptronic auto is it's hard to get rid of the speed limiter.

I am waiting to see my times for the day, as it felt like I had some scorching hot times considering my car is fairly stock except for zorst, some suspension and Hawke pads. Having said that, there is not much left of my front pads. Driving out of the QR gates, both my depth indicators started to squeel. :( Not to mention my front left tyre. All that's left is a shredded rubber band looking thing wrapped around my wheel. No worries though, I have the Yoko AVS V103 on order. Just have to wait another 4-6 weeks for them to get here from Japan.

Thanks for a great day Paul. Heaps of runs, approx 180km travelled on track (almost too much), and it was great to meet some new people, even people I had already met, but hadn't see for ages....... Impact Blue and Bunta!! :D

See you all next time out there.

Good to see you again too! Hopefully I will be out there with you next time :D

There is vague whispers of a track day with nsw members coming up for a QR day.. That would be a great event... or maybe they're a little ...soft? :(:D

Yes the whispers are vuage....but they are growing

We should return the favour and all head down there sometime too :D

I was wondering what others were getting along the straight.

Best I got along the front straight was 169km and then along the back straight when the whole track was opened up, got 187km.

I was getting 190-195kph on the front straight and struggling to slow down for the corner if I had slicks i could push it to maybe 210kph. I didn't do the national track this time because I wanted the engine not to blow up on me.

Thats with a few mods thou >_<

The next Track Day will be on September 12. Details will be emailed out shortly. Anyone not on the list make sure you PM me your email address to get involved.

The full track results will be up on the web site shortly, check them out.

I will update the Honour List shortly also.

i filled up on the way there, threw in another 20 litres in the afternoon and had the empty light on by the time i go to oxley

i had to skip 2 sessions cause i didn't have enough fuel :D

What a great day! I beat my old time by 5 sec on the national circuit. Down from 1:34?? to a 1:29.50!! Top speed down the back straight was nudging an indicated 195km/hr and had fun keepin' it outta the kitty litter into turn 3!!

Paul, thanks very much to you and all the volunteers, well executed morning(and afternoon...I would imagine)

Hey hey hey, we can see into this section too........ ;)

Basically the plan for the NSW'ers is, as soon as we have our cars all set (few things to happen first, one motor needs a rebuild, and one person is buying a dedicated track car) we will book in for a QR day with you guys and head up :D

    • 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
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
