Re drifting, I was tempted but decided not to drift into first corner as with that timley small amount of rain, that green stuff can be real slippery and did not want to bend my car on the tyre wall that sticks out. I gave the zed a hard time all day and held together well and drifting can be hard on cars so I was a little tame there although managed a decent smokey in third. Real happy with the track time. John Boston, race driver in my car did a 1min 7.8 considering fastest GTR that I am aware of with Warren Luff driving was Geoff Fear's R32 from SSS Automotive with Gibson motor did a 1 min 6 .8 only a sec faster or Gary Burchet R33 GTR N1 turbo's etc and Holinger sequential box 1 min 6.95. My factory viscous diff was slipping bad as worse as it got hot, we didn't have time to put in the Nismo GTR diff, and losing at least a second a lap plus other items we are improving am sure it will be easy 1 min 6 sec. At least I can say it has a GTR diff, water pump pulley and viscous fan. Could be more in the future.

Great lap times there, well done, particularly the z, anything under 1.10 is a road car with road tyres is incredible.

300zx 1:07.78

GTR 1:09.43

EVO 1:10.97

To put it in context, v8 record is 0.59, outright record is 0.55 (F3)

:D my best is 1.11 in the skyline. got some catching up to do.

Never rolled a daewoo at wakefield :P....and I did the fastest lap there the other week, 1.22.03.

But seriously, the thing is that Wakefield is a much more technical track than Eastern Creek, and suspension, tyres etc has much more to do with lap times than power does - if a car can get around wakefield quickly it must be pretty well balanced.

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
