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.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
