Shell = Corner of GWH and Brabham Cr. (entry road into Eastern Creek which goes under the M4).

Gate = Yup gate 7 around the back (follow Brabham Cr around the track until you get to the back).

I think that's why they invented Nitros Oxide. When you get a little board you push the button and fill your undies and that's enough to tied you over.

If you think you're complacent with the performance now, wait until you've got the hang of the track and decide to chase down some arrogant tosser in a Ferrari :D

Thats what i spent the 3rd session doing. I had him on the straight up until i was 190km/h speed limited. He had me alittle from Turn 2-7 although he made me boil my brake fluid so not happy jan.

With my new tyres i'd eat him without a problem.

I've actually got footage of me sling-shotting past the 328GTS after turn 6 when his tyres started going off and he couldn't hold his line. AZENIS vs. PIRELLI ( AZENIS WINS ! )

Well guys I must appoligise... this day has snuck up on me and I have been a bit slack. I will be at the track from 7:30am... and yes I will be on time and no I don't know if I'll be driving...

I would suggest that you all try to arrive between 7:30 and 8 am as it takes time to fill out forms and then once all that is done I have to get final payments of $130 off everyone and also go and spend approx. 20 mins going through the paperwork etc. so that leads us up to the drivers briefing @ 8:30am.

Thanks to all those guys that have been answering the questions put forward.

The forcast is for rain tomorrow and Tracey has said that the day WILL be on regardless of the weather. Remember it take alot of rain to really soak a track these days.

Anyway,

See you all tomorrow morning.

Dan.

At the risk of being serious for a moment, cheater tyres are a HGE handful in the wet. Leave em at home I say.

They still have high threshold, and let go as you'd expect, the surprise comes when they regain grip when you least expect it - and you go spearing off into the undergrowth.

I think Roy saw my idea of drifting with cheater tyres on down @ wakefield one day - about 7 spins in 3 sessions :bahaha:

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
