My trip is looking more and more like being funded by a personal loan :blink: Car is good. so im going to drive it as much as possible. Hell, it jsut means i will have to sleep on benchs and beaches when OS, umm, actually ... :D

*rubs new credit card*

Mine will be funded by the bank for a large part anyways, even without putting the engine back in :)

Benches and Beaches are your specialty Bris, shouldn't be a problem!

Who would believe that im looking forward to doing the oil change this weekend. All i need to do is new oil. filter, and flush the brakes. Im pumped. So looking forward to gettign out there are tryign to beat my 1:25. I thought it would take a few weekends to get my car to do a 1:52 at PI. The fact that i did it first go and easily has me hoping for big things. But anything under 1:25 would be good.

Just hope the weather is good. So pumped. Up for the Dawn Service then off to Sandown :D

yep it would!... have to find .75 of a second somewhere... think I might just have salad and water for the next week!

I reckon a speed limit defender or whatever they are called would help me with another couple of tenths on the straights... or maybe I'll wind up the boost, see how long that ceramic wheel lasts on 14 psi hehe

can I take out the passenger seat and still pass scrutineering?

Maybe later in the day. They will see how the day is progressing and if there seems to be time then they may allow a passenger session. Though as per PI you will only be permitted to drive at 75%, go too quick and the official wont be impressed.

Im probably taking out my passenger seat as well. :P Isnt there an easy way to disconnect the speed imiter in an R33. For sure rip the bastard out. The fact that you are going as fast as you are on the rubber you are with a speed limiter....absolute credit to you! :)

umm no. I've only taken my passenger seat out once, at Winton last year.

I swear I've seen it out at Sandown, but you'd know better!

Either way, you passed scrutineering like that, so it doesn't matter.

Nope never had it out at Sandown. I don't think it's a problem for scrutineering, why would it be?

Thanks Dane!

you don't of anywhere that might stock bits and pieces like speed limit defenders, strut braces etc... like an import wreckers or something... I was thinking JustJap but they are in Sydney and I want a few pieces before Wednesday... and Roy I'm too scared to do the dodgy wire cut, its supposed to mess with HICAS because it doesn't know how fast your going blah blah... I really need a power fc

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
