On a side note I see Jeff Beaumont is on the entrants list.

This will be a good chance to see just how quick a well sorted EVO is in the hands of a decent steerer. This is the car Jeff will be doing the up-coming Lake Mountain Rally and this years Dutton Rally National Championship in.

On a side note I see Jeff Beaumont is on the entrants list.

I am looking forward to seeing this in action. The guys were putting the finishing touches too it last weekend when I took my car in.

500bhp, are you sure? Jeff was estimating 300kw which is just over 400bhp.

Roy came over last night in the white VII and I came up with the idea of car sharing for tomorrow. I use his wheels, he uses my car and offers driver training. Will make the final decision in the next hour or two I think. $$ are a little close at the moment which is why I am slightly hesitant. :(

I will still be there either way though to watch.

That makes sense but is a huge loss between fly and wheels

My car has a quoted 160kw at the engine std. Throw them on a rollign road and they struggle to make 100rwkws. So for a rwd manual they have about 50-60rwkws of drivetrain losses. So on an AWD car with east-west engine layout i would not be surprised if there is another 10-15kws of losses?????

Anyway, whatever power its making it will most likely be a brisk car....what am i talking about? Its a complete and running car which is better then anything i have at the moment :(

It is 11:52 pm just finished installing bigger front sway bar and put a new radiator in after mine decided to leak badly from the top tank seal.

It did a full day @ winton no problem then all of a sudden it died, anway picked up a new one from work and the car trailer and she will be up and running in the morning.

Man soo many track virgins and i am one aswell (to circuit sprint that is)

hope the weather stays dry >_<

damn wish i had of noticed this thread [or the other one]... i would have definitely joined in to accompany the rest of the first timers!

might come watch though. i'm in for the next one.

weather report i got this morning says around 50mm is expected this afternoon for the western and eastern districts. sorry for the bad news.

lets hope the weather guys are wrong like usual and we get that rain tomorrow

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
