I was once told if I drove onto the red part again I would be disqualified for the rest of the meet by an ANDRA official while trying to drive around the water box.

I then watched the same official *not* warn dozens of others do the same thing. Wierd.

No one likes you kenny

I used to just drive around the water, but then they freshly painted the red/blue section and now they throw a major fit if you try and drive around it. Hell even if I just drive thru the water and stop (rather than sitting in the water) they give all sorts of death stares!

I've seen many cars drive round the water in the past, although admittedly I was probably paying more attention to the cars racing or to the other car doing their burnout then to whether or not they were getting told off by one of the officials.

From what the guys are saying, it sounds like a bit of a 'no no' so i'd probably recommend driving through the water and just try to spin the water off the tyres as you get the all clear to do your burnout and move to the start line.

Or, perhaps ask one of the officials - although it wouldn't surprise me if you got 3 different answers from 3 different people :)

Good luck :)

am i spose to do a burnout with gtr?... i dont know how lol so i think im jus gna not do one and jus launch it like a mofo hahaha

LOL dont worry I dont know how to do a burnout too.. !!!

I prolly wont do one.

Shame Dan wont be there :)

Just not going to happen guys, I have almost finished the car now... but not enough time to pack it up and get down there... plus probably got another hour to go with this work... oh well.

I'm going to plan to head out on the 30th of August for a hit out. The new turbo will be going on shortly after that. this is of course provided I don't break anything next weekend in Tassie.

Good luck guys, I'll get there again one day!

Cheers,

Dan.

apparently it was the flywheel. the commentators said that it exploded and left a 2in hole in the track.

    • 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)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
