Jason ZX2NV not slicks semi slicks DOT but not street legal, and don't give these SAU boys amo re tyres.

Either way bloody good time. My fisrt day at Eastern Creek back in 98 I think it was with my stock standard R33 GTS-T was 2 min flat. Yes I owned a GTS-T back when no one else did.

I saw someone taking photos at the last turn into the straight a few times. Silver Arrows maybe?

Yeah that's me.

I got lots but need a bit of time to process them. I thought it would be done by last night but hopefully by tonight or tomorrow.

Very eventful day!!

Was good fun, but respects go to the owner of the RX7... im just glad noone got hurt as i was only standing a couple of meters away when it went 'whoosh'... gotta tell you thou, these 1kg fire extinguishers are good for putting out an ant fart and that is all..... :cheers:

As for the rest of it.... glad to get sub 2:00 ending up with 1:58, but thanks to Adam for giving me something to chase down :D It's ok Adam you may of had a fuel problem but hey i am taking this win to the bank... casue im sure it will be the only one :D

Must say the semi's are officially shagged.... coming out of Turn 2 was just a sideways affair.... :sorcerer:

Oh well next time the car should be running a bit more go fast bits... getting a bit sick of just running a car with just the usual air filter, FMIC, cat back exhaust.... i need more power!!! PFC, Turbo, Injectors and Turbo back exhaust please SANTA!!!!

Oh yeah and also i would like to go faster than 180-190km/hr down the straight!! Stupid ECU and speed delimiter.... i was hitting it before even reaching the pit entrance!! :huh:

Thanks to everyone who organised the day and also to Paul and Abo (Adam) for some helpful tips....

Till next time ............................ :D

PS.. Big thanks to Mal for the lend of the fire extinguisher so i could get onto the track!!!!

gotta tell you thou, these 1kg fire extinguishers are good for putting out an ant fart and that is all..... :thumbsup:

like I keep telling people pay the extra couple of peanuts for a BFI one, which put out 4 times the amount of fire as all the other brands I have ever seen/used. food for thought after this little mishap. :thumbsup:

disclaimer: they wont put out a whole car on fire though!!!

I'll quote myself from just a couple of weeks ago...

Consider getting a larger one if you can (1.5kg?). I had to use mine very briefly on the way back from the last wakefield day, and a 0.25 second squirt sent it well into the red (ie. needs to be recharged). It will be worth the extra $$ if you need to use it :thumbsup:

Yes big thanks to Adam for doing all the groud work.

Also when you get a good diff in your car you will be much quicker and might upset a few GTR owners in town.

If anyone took any photos of my car (#25, old 4 door hatchback skyline, grey) send me a pm or email or something. I wouldn't mind getting a few snaps of it bucketing along.

No worries. I'm just a cog in a machine. Makes me happy to see so many people loving the track.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
