Liz - I wasn't holding back, I had a dud entry to the straight, and the car had been miss firing all day (lambda sensor died, couldn't tune it), so I was never gonna catch you, but you were quick through the kink, I just didn;t expect you to slow down so much for turn 1 - I didn't want to hit you, and I was aiming at turn one at the fastest possible speed - to avoid a massive lock up, and or a massive accident, I aimed for the greenery - which turned kitty litter brown very quickly... and I couldn't drive it through it, it was soo soft by then

Dunc - I killed it, but we think turbo seal - We won't touch it til later in the week, we need a break from working on it, dad spent all last week getting it ready for sunday

Cheers

Matt

I love spining I got it down to a fine art!

Im looking foward to the next track day and i tell you i will definateley have semis next time that was the only thing letting me down on the weekend was my tires my brakes were fine i was out braking most the cars even the ones that were faster so definatly need better tyres next time. Anybody got and other photos of my gun grey 32 the one with all the advertising on it any on the track would be great.

Traman i dont know if anyone timed me....semi slicks are definitely required...my 245's all round are good in the wet but average on a track....plus i need more driving experience.....when is the next track day?

Great day, heaps of track time, wet and dry conditions and nice cold temps for the tubos.

My only problem with the cold temps was that by the time my tyres were up to temp my brakes were overheating, (dam standard brakes!)

Thanks to the organisers, well done.

you drive your car well...get good pads on board.

It was an awesome day - A huge thank you to the organisers/volunteers.

I have an interesting helmet cam shot of someone getting a bit loose in front. I'll find an editing program and cut it down small enough for youtube. Then the driver can put their hand up :nyaanyaa: and say who it was hehe.

Thanks again for a great day... I wish I didn't have to leave early.

    • 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.
