Yeah wilch and I were laughing about that one... I went with a GTT and left with a GTR - WOOOHOOOO!!!!

wilch clocked a 2:04 without a car! Imagine what he'd be like with a car :/

The RX7 had a split fuel line. The reason the guys couldn't put the fire out probably is because the lines were on fire from front to back of the car.

I've been over to the RENEW website and they have been effusive with their thanks for the flaggies efforts. We all really appreciate you guys.

Here is the combined times. I slipped down to 13th in the end from 10th earlier.

Reedy snuck into the 1:53's, OZ close to 1:51 flat, the love boat stormed around in 1:44, Majanal did a 1:54 before his intercooler hose blew apart, he and Chris Easton showed what the RB30DET's are capable of. Both had low peak power and crappy tyres but put in some really good times. Good to see Ando in the sub 2 minute club too.

Check my new sig :/

Here is the rest of the times.

Thanks to Abo Bob and the Renew guys for organising the day. I had a great day.

The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that some of us n00bs to EC, that have only done one track day somewhere else previously, weren't allowed to go out in the morning with an experienced driver to learn the lines and the track.

I went out freaking scared after the first few long corners. My car felt like it was all over the place, that and I had someone right up my arse (who I let pass asap). I was seriously shaken up. My car felt so unstable in the first session. It really freaked me out, especially since there just seem to be walls everywhere.

Because of this I skipped my second session.

Anyway, after playing with the suspension and tyre pressures I went back out and had a ball despite the fact I that there are two corners which are after a couple of crests, one goes right and one goes left. I was pretty much guessing which was which.. Which is really bad. But hey, I guess that's what happens when you're put out there for your first time and are expected to be up to pace with everyone else.....

Regardless, I had a ball. So much fun. Soooo much fun. Sorry I didn't open her up and get her sideways near the guys at turn two. I didn't want to burn the tires this time around, I have no more monies for new ones after that Oran day!

Fear my massive legs!

and grrr to spelling my last name wrong. lol

Abo,

It was good to see your fastest lap of the day was actually the last one when we were dualing! Good work!

Yeah, interesting. I really need to get some in car footage the next time I am tailing you around a track. It's a surreal look as you are slipping around the place pushing a bit hard then regaining control within a single second because we are both doing between 100 and 200+ km/h and often within a 1-2 car lengths of each other as it's happening.

Adam/Paul Good to see you two battling it out was good to watch. Same with the two rx7's (car 1 and other one).

Saw Majanal wanting to drift around corner 4 but stopped. :laugh:

:laugh: What Stan has a GTR ? :laugh: lols

Nice work Ando in the Ceffy 1.58.

Oh how good was the A4? :laugh: So gracefull as it zoomed around.

    • 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.
