Nah I softed out Leon. It's got a big banana shaped straight where I probably should have hit speed cut. Every time I lifted my foot at some point through it just because I had no confidence in the car after a couple of earlier... umm... mishaps. Main thing for me was driving within my limits, first time out there, and in the first session had a spin and a minor overshoot. Would rather back off and be able to drive home than go 10/10ths and need to call a tow truck...

Highest I saw on the speedo (when I had time to look!) was 150-160.

This should give you an idea:

How did you find the grip out there? In my 180SX I found it really slippery! I came out of turn 3 and easily wound it off the clock before turn 4 and turning into turn 4 the car just started sliding towards the outside of the corner and got scary real quick. Turn 4 is actually a difficult corner with the amount of speed that can easily be carried into it.

Out around turn 4 I found fine. Shannons Nationals had been through the day before, and the track was well rubbered in. Should see the amount picked up by my tyres!

I should also add someone had gone straight on after turn 4 and hit the wall, and the two big black tyre marks heading off the road certainly was interesting...

I found the turn 1-2 combo the most interesting. Significantly harder than it looks!

You should join up and take the 180SX out next time!

I currently have it apart fitting up a Kinugawa TD06SL2-20G 8cm T3 flanged external gate turbo to it and hopefully a set of ID1000 injectors to replace the current 740's. Just waiting for a mate to make the high mount manifold and for me to decide on either the 38mm or 44mm Tial waste gate. Looking to get 300rwkw on pump.

Once its done I want to do some hill climbs and a few grip days.

Nope, you're right Craig. Treadbars ftw! :-P

Needs moar grip.

Dom - you going to come out when yours turns up?

Ermm... hadn't planned on it but I suppose anything is possible. My plans for the car arent huge; full exhaust and bigger wheels and possibly a set of sways front and back. The intent is for a nice tourer for the Mrs to drive around in and lug around all the baby gear too.

See what happens, I guess :)

P.S. - Could actually have it as soon as the end of the week, if all goes well with compliance :banana:

"Just got a pic of the 25G @ 118kph on Freeway.

Lucky its in my name as 19yo is still on one point bond till end of May"

I got on of those when they put the new camera's up on the M1 just north of beenleigh.

110 in 100. I'm even in the process of moving over and speeding up to overtake the ute in front.

Oh wells, my first aerial photo :D

Yep, I had no idea they were there, signs weren't even up yet I am sure of it. No excuse to be speeding though.

On my way home tonight, after doing full oil service on everything in the stagea - I was on the M1 far right lane doing 116km/h and slowly overtaking a car. I noticed a car with foggies coming up my arse from a distance, and the car next to me is now trying to match my speed.

So to be nice to the car coming quick from behind (ewww) i sped up to 130km/h to overtake the car next to me and then slowed back to 116kmh (no brakes). As i pulled into 3rd right lane, the car overtook me. It was a marked highway patrol ford ute. Maybe he had bigger fish to fry, or understood i simply sped up to let him get pass. I was surprised and impressed none the less. Maybe a bright yellow brick isn't that noticeable....

Jez, If the foggies were on wasn't the copper breaking the law?

Pretty sure now in QLD you can't drive with your fog lights on without fog?

Someone arrest that man!

    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10  
    • Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.   
    • Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
