Yep no problems paying that....after all I have to pay $150 for an unorganized (well compared to the SAU vic/WRX events anyway :O ) track session at Barbagallo!!

I'm Hoping this will be my first track session after getting back to vic :kiss:

When are the supp regs etc avail bec?

As good as mine are of doing 1.43.

I'll be there and will be mainly hoping to drive the car home.

It's been nearly 2 years since I was last at PI so I'm pumped to go. Mind you it's been 18 months since I completed a track day so I'm not getting too excited about any times or anything. Infact if I can get your 1.51 I'll be happy Bris.

Scotsmans best there is still 1.51 I think. Maybe he'll be happy to bet with you!

The fact some of these other boys are doing 1.43's is just plain freaky.

But Bris - be warned in all seriousness that unless it's a PIARC day they are now super strict on the 75dB@30m thing. Aaron got pinged late last year and his car is super quiet.

Yours isn't. You might only get a couple of laps if you don't tone the exhaust down.

Infact everyone should be well aware of this before they fork out the $180. If you think your car is loud either bring something to make it quiet or be prepared to just tottle past the testing station (which is on the inside on the main straight down near turn 1.)

OOH. Good point. Might have to see about getting the gate plumbed back up.

As for the times. Yeh who knows. I just want a session with no yellow flags and no car problems. Something i havent been able to do at PI...though my car appears to be over its hissy fit it had when it first arrived in Vic.

So i want a sub 1:55. How much i can goi under it i dont know. But i still think that is Chris did a 1:51 in his GTR (in 2004 spec) then my car should be able to do it...the driver just needs some more practice. Hell a farking Mirage does 1:53s

Mind you it's been 18 months since I completed a track day so I'm not getting too excited about any times or anything.

The only track day i have finished as i have started is Sandown. >_< I know it sux but sooner or later you will come out the other side. I am running out of time and money, and patience. All i care about is the times because my engine will only hold on so much longer and when it goers bang i will be parkign it for a long time :laugh:

I'll be at PI this Sunday for the PIARC day, chasing 1:47's...

Roy - If you get a 1:51 I'll buy you 2 kegs.... On a serious note, a lot of time can be made at turn 1, hayshed, and coming onto the front straight.

Hold it flat through those corners and you will be on the money!!!!

In saying that 1:53's is achievable, it just depends on whether your foot listens to your brain, if the brain says back off, DON'T!!!

Roy - If you get a 1:51 I'll buy you 2 kegs.... On a serious note, ...

LOL...im being serious :laugh: . So is that a bet? :laugh:

And before ppl get upset with me...its all taking the piss. You have to have a goal, its great to hit it, no shame in trying and missing :geek:

LOL. It takes a bet for me to get my ass in gear and get the car ready. I wanted to do this weekend but DECA weeeknd has left me broke. Really looking forward to this. Will be my first track day since Sandown 2005.

I have to keep telling myself that:

Phillip Island:

- Mirage , 1:53s

- Commodore Ute , 1:52s.

- ME (PB) , 1:58s

At Sandown:

- Mirage does a 1:27

- Ute , 1:26

- Me (PB) , 1:25

At Winton:

- Mirage , 1:38

- Ute , 1:41

- Me (PB) , 1:41 (Dutton when i ran out of fuel on the warm up lap >_< )

So its up to me to get the job done. The car should be capable

Now your just taking the piss :laugh:

So you are only doing the Sunday Jack? May come down to spectate if im not in Sydney

Yep, just Sunday..

Forecast is for 38 degrees.. >_<

Although the sea breeze might make it a little cooler...I hope...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
