They are great cars for off the showroom floor....i had a boner for it when he first got it. But a ride the other night in my car at 20psi and im feeling the love for my car again. Especially now i have the new gearbox and diff for it :ninja:

Stick with the GTSt, especially since yours looks so trick :ninja:

How can you want to part with that?

:)

You are right! I will learn to drive first......then I will buy and AWD so I can forget everything I learnt ;)

That pic shows where the workshop bent my bonnet :ninja:

Haha - especially if you go the EVO path.

When James was first driving at Wakefield he had very bad brake shudder. Then I went for a spin in his car and discovered you could just hammer up to a corner - and then turn. And the car would go around. Brakes really weren't needed. And neither was talent.

Don't want to get into the my wang is bigger than yours argument, even thou it is!

But one thing to note on the day is that the track temp at EC was very high and the semi's weren't sticking to their full potential. Which was proven when I ran a best time of 1.47.7 on the very hot dry track, then went and ran a 1.47.8 on a damp cooler surface when the rain was a slight drizzle. I wasn't pushing as hard, but the car had the grip back.

Just thought you might find that interesting.

I can't speak for Snowy, but last time I checked - I'm not gay. It's been a while since my last, you know 'check up' though, so ah... nah.

Anyhoo - you guys should stop picking on the way we talk, eh :)

Much to my surprise after receiving the Presidents Choice award last year for assuming this Alistair character you so regularly spoke about "may" have been your partner :P

This is great stuff. A lot of passion. The only thing I can add to it is it is a tricky track and to cut some sharp times will take a bit of practice.

The GTRs would have dominated the Zed if we drove them to their limit, but the track got the better of us.

Next time the Zed is gunna have to watch out. I'm putting serious time in on V8 Supercars 3....

Just move to Sydney for a few months. You can work on your tan and dance moves...and if you have time cut some laps at the Creek :P

You guys suck...even though i have done over 15 days at EC, i was only hoping for about a 1:50 flat. So you would have all still kicked my ass. Wakefield is where its at....blood will be drawn at Wakefield in 2007. With Australia Day forever being remembered as the day the GTSt fought back :D

I am thinking of coming for that one too :)

why do you say that?

Just looking at the tyre sidewall deflection. Looks to me as if it needs about 1-1.5lbs more. Looks like it is going over so far, it is probably hopping sideways a bit if it loses a little grip. Would that be right Jack?

My tyre pressures were up the shit at EC. Couldn't get good grip so took some pressure out, got worse. Put more pressure in and got better. But by then the tyres were shagged. Couldn't do more than 1 lap before it started to understeer like a WRX. A track like EC needs new rubber, will make sure next time!!!!

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
