You would hate that car if you did the event. The first time you heard it it was tops. After 3 days of hearing it you were just praying it would blow up.

Yeah definately second that. Looked good but that thing blipping the accelerator was deafening. At least he turned it off when waiting. $400K to build though one of the Porsche guys was saying! :rofl:

Jack - the black R32 GT-R from NSW was fastest at Sandown with a 1.20.0.

mmm sweet sentence. the fastest car at a VIC track was a GTR. from NSW. and a 32 no less! giddy up!

congrats to all those out there. especially troy, you did mighty well it seems for someone with a below average IQ... you are pretty good looking though so perhaps the timing guys were kind to you? hehe well done mate. you made 57-1 a reality. good work.

And it was almost a win for me. My plates are BRI-58Y, the NSW GTR had the plates BRI-73Y. His name was Brighty and he was a blood nut to boot...only he could drive and had a quick car :P

man that is creepy. so what you are saying is basically this bloke was a smarter, faster better looking version of you, with enough sense to stay in NSW to boot? damn that hurts.

i still love you troy boy. you can booty call me any time.

Okay here is my rundown of the weekend James style:

- Chris is an absolute legend and we were definately the noisiest people at the dinner presentation on Friday night when he took out three trophys for the quickest times.

- Brisby broke one of Chris' trophys while very drunk and fighting for the front seat of the car with Snowy for their lift home whilst very intoxicated.

- Snowys daughter Keira or Snowflake as adam likes to call her, is the most adorable little girl in the whole wide world.

- Going to the Shepparton Strippers is not advised even if eveyone else is going.

- Driving back from Shepparton I was behind the Z Tuned and a GT2 who decided to have a little bit of fun while driving next to each other on the hume and it was the best thing I saw all weekend!!

- Adam wins everything on style points and had plenty of cheers.

- James enjoyed driving around shepparton while still wearing his stealth race helmet because he forgot his sunglasses and it had a tinted viser.

- No matter what dutton rally organisers tell you it is illegal to wear no number plates during transit stages of the rally, adam and Brisby both got a $120 Fine and three demerit points. We were pulled over for 50 minutes by the Benalla TMU, the organisers were even speaking to him on my mobile phone, but no dice we still got the fine.

- Dutton rally was very Tiring.

- Chris and Snowy were the coolest SAU team (Did we expect anything less!) as they both cleaned up in their class results and the overall results. Well Done Guys!!

- Even though they are the coolest they nealry killed us all at Winton when they pushed the car to extreme limits and my heart certainly stopped for at least three seconds as snowy spun onto the main straight but then put the boot back in to get a killer lap, Chris did the same down the back side of the track. These boys definately drove hard all weekend!!

- I was consistantly placed in the mid field all weekend but I'm just glad i finished. Definately need more track practise before next year.

- Adam got a trohpy for 2nd place in our class and also came 8th overall in the co drivers handicap.

- James did a fantastic job behind the wheel of the Silver bullet, he's never even driven a rear wheel drive before. I wouldn't be suprised if he brings out the cheater EVO for next year.

- Brisby did really well in our class and came in at the front of the field which is great.

- The shepparton barstaff need to realise that fiddy is not a replacement for the word fifty unless you are a nigro rapper.

- SAU events rock, we get so much track time and have so much fun and the motokhanas are much better than some of the dutton ones!

- EVO's are cheater cars.

- Big thanks to Bec and Min for carrying all our crap around, go team SAU Support crew!

- I don't want to think about Dutton again until March next year because i'm too tired.

Thats about it from me.

what happened to the times at Sandown ? Was there a problem with the car?

They claimed it had no pull in 4th and 5th gear????

I thought i easily did a 1:24 as it felt real quick. But i think the 1.5bar meant that combination of dead rear tyres and shagged diff meant i was slow onto the straights and only did a 1:27 :) Now that the event is behind me ive got the sh1ts i didnt get the diff into the car in time :)

And Scotsmans was too lazy to remove my wheels and adjust my handbrake....like he had better things to do :)

ahhh it all makes sense now!!! One of the Gibson Cars?

Yep, it will be so cool if there are 3 GTS-Rs out there :no:

- Dutton rally was very Tiring.

Yeh, im knackered. I dont think i could have done a 4th day. Did you bag the sub 1:30 you were chasing? But more importantly, did you have Top Gun pumping whilst the camera was in the car :(

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
