haha I can't take all the credit, I knew he had the Ohlins already :laugh:

Project Mu is an odd name... but they do make a good pad :)

I think it's 33 on Sat with a cool change and around mid-20's on Sunday, so it should be nice at PI with the breeze off the water

Project Mu is not really that odd. The symbol used for friction coefficients is mu - the Greek letter. So calling a brake pad project mu is not reallly that odd. The things you learn.....

well our little alfa did some arse kicking down south of the border. a few probs in the early races, but 1st place in the last race was not too shabby. nor was going 42nd to 7th in the second race!!!

ah, sorry you missed him. it's a nuts little car. driving it with all the other group NC cars at wakefield opened my eyes (and filled my dax). then driving it the second time at oran park GP was one of the most enjoyable on track experiences i've had.

Man what a weekend !!! I'm trashed !!

Spencer came up and saw us on Saturday and then I went back to see him another 2 times on Sat & 1 on Sun and he was never with the car !! Some other guy was sitting there in Gulf overalls but no Spence....... and considering when he ran compared to us, we were always getting prepped and I missed every race he was in. :P

Was a great event, took a heap of pics of the GIO GT-R, will get them up in the next few days. Spent ages drooling over that thing :)

Man, where were all you guys ?? We were with the cars all 3 days and almost none of the SAU VIC people came up and introduced themselves :P I saw some sweet 32 GT-R's leaving on Sunday so I knew some of you guys were there but almost nobody stopped in to say Hi.

I wanted to have a chat with you about your 13B datto thebuzz !

Oh well, maybe next year...... and then again, maybe not since we've heard that our group might not be involved in this particular event in the future :P

Was an absoultely awesome day, best motor sport event I've ever been to by far, had a blast!!

I gained a new respect for the 31's. Love the prep work in them, and they sounded fantastic, especially blasting down the straight split by the VL and followed by the JPS M3. Was music to my ears!

Richard, which Alfa was it that you're talking about?

lol, the one that came first in race 3. group NC. white 2 litre GTV. :P

why?

that's a shame. sorry you missed spencer on the sunday. that would have been chris looking after the car probably. damn shame you missed the second race too as 42nd to 7th aint too shabby in 5 laps of PI! We need to get our shit together and mount up the in-car camera.

Richard: This shape?? English guy driving it??

Marlin: Nah, I didn't see it mate, what happened?

yep, just like that. yep, pommy bastard behind the wheel. entered under our sponsor, classic throttle shop. it's white with the speed stripes and it sounds mental!

edit: here's a pic from wakefield.

Did you guys see the carnage of the LJ and Walky? A mess and shame. I haven't read all through so apologies if it's mentioned prior.

That was Norm that got collected from behind in the Walky :nyaanyaa: He was pitting along side us and when he came back he looked pretty gutted ( as you would ) but they reacon they'll get it all fixed up and better than before & she'll be back out racing in no time :nyaanyaa:

As for the LJ....... TBA.....

    • 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.
