Had a great day, cant wait to get my set up correct and new front tyres,bucket seat, brakes, boost, then i should be right lol. I was really happy that the newish STI and one of the evo's couldn't over take me on the straight, the corners well i wont mention how i was through them.

As for that f**kING rabbit.......suck shit that it got f**ked up and the birds ate it for the rest of the day, little peice of shit!!!

Anyway...had an awesome time and cant wait till im ready for the next one :rofl:

BTW, thanks for the helps taking the bar off and putting it back on guys, had my own pit crew :laugh:

actually i think i may have snapped one of my exhuast bolts again. my car is making a funny high pitched squeal when its on boost, but it hasn't lost anyway performance. i'll have it checked out next week...

the only decent damage done on the day i think was to one of the yellow evo's which ripped a tyre of his rim and scratched it up pretty bad. It was also making some strange noises after that almost as though he had warped a disc and his pads were rubbing and this is when he was just driving.

Woot i was the only one not to do any damage hehe :D

Well my front bar is farked, and i've snapped my air con fan i think thats what its called which is rubbing on the back of my FMIC. Also my brakes are screwed, I'm contemplating whether or not i should get GTR brakes??

EDIT: Here is how i drove for the rest of the day.

Sorry about the file being to big, i tried to make it smaller.

sorry to hear about the air con fan as well :D it did look like a tough drift pig though hehe :) from the little i know about the brakes unless you are after really big stopping power the standard 33 gts-t calipers should be fine just upgrade to slotted rotors and better pads/fluid. If they won't cut it and you have some money get the Brembo's from an R34 GTR mmm nice and big.

Maybe even these 8 pot's

Well after going for a ride with luke i could not believe how good he stopped, if i hit my brakes as hard as he did i'd lock them up.....as seen on the first lap :D.

I'm thinking some massive slotted brakes would be awesome and thats why i think my car will be off the road for a while coz im going to save up for all these parts so next meeting ill be a little more competative.

haha going to track is very bad it makes us all go hmm

but what if i just had

8 pot calipers on the front and some decent 4 pots on the rear

slotted rotors

performance pads

adjustable coilovers

better sway bars

strut braces

etc etc etc

the list goes on. But if you have the $$$ all the best to you. you have a good amount of power as demonstrated get the braking and handeling sorted you will be out there with that blue evo 9 :D

i would imagine the gtr would beat it however driver does play a big part as demonstrated on the weekend...

Luke = good drive

Leigh = average driver

Keep in mind though the AWD will be a major help in maintaining traction and as such better times

Leigh = average driver? Dont blow your on whistle leigh, we all know you think youre god :)

GTR isnt really suited to Wakefield, it loses alot of its competitive edge due to the layout of the circuit. Its a short (low speed) circuit so the lower weight of the gtst gives it an advantage. But if you want a car that goes really quick around Wakefield, buy an Evo.

The 32 GTR isn't heavier then the R33 GTST is it?

The reason i asked was im going to want a car that will get me the best traction/handling/speed. I think my car has the mods to do that i just need front wheels and brakes and my times should improve a fair bit.

It depends on what you really want do your research and find out whats the difference between the two....Im into drifting so the gtst was a natural choice (plus i was poor) I just recon that the gtst doesnt get a good enough rep, awsome rwd car, can hold its own when modded properly - the love of my life

The 32 GTR isn't heavier then the R33 GTST is it?

Its a good 100kg or so heavier... and alot of that weight is at the wrong end of the car :(

The GTR is a big car. Get it on a fast flowing track and it will show what it was made for. Get it on a low speed tight track and the results arent that great.

Well i did manage an unoffical time of 1.18.76 and a 1.19.00 with no suspensions mods, road tyres and not much power. The dodgy thing was i could only do a couple of hard laps before my tyres turned to gooo and i had to cool em down... Luke was getting 1.13's i think for most of the day not sure about Steve

    • 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.
