Thanks Drew.

There are still about 8 spots available.

Stan - it will be 3 lap sprints so they might not like it. They would only be just getting warm and then have to come off.

Hi Adam

I am definatley in

Transferred funds tonight as per your PM

Look foward to a great day

Wakefield 1 min 12 12 untuned with slicks

anyone know where can get second hand semi's other than gordon leven tyres? have tried but none in 17's

Yeah good luck.. I've been trying Gordon Leven for aages.. Looking initially for 17", but then 16"... Some people must luck out with them, but by no means do they have consistent stock so I could never get some. I went out to see if there was any left over from the meet at Eastern Creek yesterday, but someone came through and bought up most of the usable ones on Saturday arvo :ninja:

Call this guy: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...576&hl=semi

I bought some 16" semi's off him yesterday. He might have what you're after. Nice guy too!

Gordon Leven - 02 4735 4500

Make sure to ask for their motorsport tyres people as they're a separate division to the regular tyre people by the sound of it

Try Garry's Motorsport tyres for 2nd hand stuff too. Im pretty sure I heard him say that he had some used 15" ones left over when I was at EC yesterday.

are the second hand semis you guys are getting any good? and are they actually cheap? A set of new 245/45/17 in dz02J or re55 shouldn't cost more than 1600, and they will last you 4-6 track days depending how nasty you are to them....

To save everyone sending PM's to ask about the tyres i have here are the details

Kumho V700 225/45/17 R-Spec semi slick.

Perfect for track days but dont have road legal tread depth left across the whole tyre.

PM me for a price for a set of 4 cheap :no:

Yeah the ones I got are fairly good. They've got about 6-7mm tread and are in OK condition.. I got them for $50 each (Kumho Ecsta V700 205/45/16).

They only start with 4.5mm tread depth from new, 3.5mm to the tread indicator.

I have ones in that size too half that price per tyre for SAU members

    • 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.
