Thanks Uncle Andrew...if you park the thing and its still straight and not on fire, then you just werent trying.

LOL...Ferni is right. When you are doing 360 spins at 180-200km/h the walls do look kind of close. Looking at the footage it appears to be a massive brake lock up. And looking at the laps leading up to it the car looks to be its usual unbalanced self. So sux but looks like it may have been just driver pushing a disagreeing car a little too hard :P

AHHH What a great day! Even though my car decided to develop a boost leak.....

Thanks to Troy and Andrew and others for helping me out today, if it wasnt for Troy i probly wouldnt have even been there :P

Was great to put some faces to names and see some quick cars - had some fun with the other DT people too!

Cheers! :D

Well done on your time Troy. From what I saw your car gets a little unsettled under brakes but you seemed to have it under control :huh: I'm happy to finish a round and be able to drive my car home instead of the workshop :ermm: A huge thanks to Ray & the guys at RE Customs for getting the issues with my car sorted and tuned, it was great to drive today. I just need to get my suspension sorted... and also need to improve my cornering.

I was driving with no ABS today so it was interesting, locked up a few times including a massive 20 meter slide into turn 1! :D Hope you enjoyed the show Ferni!

I'm heading down to watch the big boys come out to run on Sunday for the Maserati club sprint. See you guys at the next round, and some of you at DECA. :P

So sad to see the Bullet get hurt TB :P

Otherwise - was a fun day. Massive thanks to Lowthy and his magic cable for geeking up the Evo's ECU.

Launch control on the way to work in the morning FTW!

...and again, see the times Riverdance is doing on street tyres! Dispelling some of the thinking about how quick you can go at places like Sandown / PI etc on street tyres.

And good work to Ferni as well. 1:22s first time at Sandown! I think we need to ban the new guys frm following Jack as they seem to pick it all up too quick. :(

1.23! Troy mate that is awesome as wasn't that what you were chasing when we left as you were checking tyres?

Sorry to see the battle scars on the bullet, never nice but sounds like you put in some blistering times :(

My car is driving well after Lowthy's magic touch, thanks mate and I definately owe you a couple of beers and need to practice that launch too!

hahah yeah it was hard to miss following you, locking up into every corner haha... was a bit hairy coming into turn1 and seeing you locking them up and not knowing where you were going next so didn't know where to turn i had to just brake straight as well...

as for 1.22.4, must be a timing error or something :rolleyes: certainly not driver skill, i had plenty more places to make up time, just not enough sessions to do it.

Had a great day in the driver training sessions, I have to say a big thanks to Jack for showing me the lines and offering great advice during the first few DT sessions, I picked up heaps of info.

Good to see heaps of quick cars out there and have a chat with a few of the guys from here, look forward to doing a few more of these events this year hopefully.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • 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
