I'd be interested in doing DT (first track day) if its available. I Love this track! I've done it on a semi race Yamaha R1 bike....

I don't think you can do PI as a first track day

[Do-Luck]

The price isn't too bad, I'm going to enter DT again, so again it works out cheaper Hopefully I have my brake upgrade done before then

[Snowman]

There WILL be DT for this event.

C'mon Troy, you can do it!

Deano in the S14 has done a 1:51 from memory, and you lap Sandown not too far off of his times as far as I'm aware, so it's possible. It'll just come down to you!

Good luck on Sunday Jack

Dane...i need to pull my finger out or give you my car. You are going quicker then me at Sandown in your 180SX....and i cant blame lack of power. Next time you are at Sams get him to show my dyno overlayed on yours. RB20 POWAH !

[phunky_monkey]

haha I don't think I'm gonna be able to help man, I'm only lapping slightly faster than you at Sandown

I also think 23's, at least, would have been achieved in the 180 in it's current spec with a few more days there. One more session and I'd have had a 24, I'm a bit dirty about that...

I've never driven at PI, so it'll be baby steps for me

So you've had your car on the dyno at Sam's?? How did it go? I'll get him to overlay them, would be really interested to see the different power delivery and response/torque. I'll be there next week.

[Roy]

I got 244 from memory. You should have a look, you will see why i love RB20s

If you have never been to PI you just HAVE to go....easily the best track around. I bought Andrew (Ferni) a day of BMW driver training there for his birthday with their fleet of M3's. Its an absolute hoot. Flying down the main straight looking at the ocean coming up at you rather quickly is a sight to behold

[ferni]

Funny thing is i've never noticed the ocean in the GTR, but in the M3 it was so calm, like i was sight seeing

I'm a bit dirty on this Noise restriction crap. Why is it that PIARC get full noise days but WRX/other clubs don't?

I still can't belive Aarons car was over the dB limit.... i recon they just said he was since he was going to fast. Either that or it was the sonic boom that followed him.

[Snowman]

I think PI have council permits for 20 days a year of full noise.

Things like the V8 Supercars and the Superbikes etc take precident over a club day. So therefore the only club days to get the permit are the ones run by the track themselves.

So if you have a loud car and want to drive at PI you have to go to their days.

I'm dying to go! Even spectating there is a great experience.

I missed last year with as my car wasn't ready, and I've just put my engine in for it's rebuild so it's ready for PI Will need to get the gate plumbed in for it though...

Finger crossed...

Troy: Ohhhh, so close! I'll take a look and compare our curves. Have you seen mine? Mine spools very similarly to a mates car with a TD06 equipped SR.

Thats because the M3 is such a sorted piece of kit you have time to look at other things rather than managing to keep the GTR in a straight line

You are going quicker then me at Winton and Sandown. One look at the curves tells me im a hack and you have skill. From memory my car had comfortably more power everywhere...comfortably. I felt like a proud Dad, then hung my head like a school kid as the reality is your still cpmfortably quicker

[Snowman]

You can still take a hit from a lemon better than anyone else Bris. So it's not all bad.

[Ant97GTR]

You and me both ferni.....I don't want this to be my first track day back in Vic only to be sent home early

I understand why we are pinged by the EPA on the road but I fail to see why we are pinged on the track as well (and yes I do know the reasons behind it!)

[Roy]

...when i grow up, i want to be credible !

Now I really want to see the curves... my poor SR...

Hopefully the manifold leak fixed will right this a little bit... and maybe the extra 200cc capacity

You'll have to take me for a spin sometime Troy, I'd love to see what your car is like compared to mine.

[Roy]

It probably doesnt feel all that different. I need to fix my wastegate as well. Its leaked at idle since i put it back on in a big rush for Dutton. Im so lazy and too poor to pay a mechanic to do it

[abcent]

not that my cars that loud...but if I get done for being too loud...can i just sacrifice some power an put my silencer in an off I go again?

Yep you get 1 warning to fix the problem. So you do have a chance if you do get pinged the first time.
