Ferni...I remember from the last round and the vid that jack posted up that he had his IR receiver on the passenger side door which would suggest that the transmitter is on the other side.

You would've got your lap timer by now so you might be able to clarify this but all you need for the transmitter is a power source right? Either way I have no option but to have it on the drivers side due to the cable length.

Yeah, snowy is going to extend them... It didn't even occur to me they would be for bikes, i bet if we told them it was for a car we would of got the longer one.. o well i'm sure snowy will figure it out, working for a cable and wire company and all :O

As for the transmitter, yeah just 8 AA batteries inside, or 12v external powersource from somewhere... not sure what they usually use? Would AA batteries last all day? I guess so.

Shit, i need tyres, brake pads and need to do something about the gearbox spewing out fluid at high speed. Shocks are still sitting on the docks of Kobe >_<

So this will be the last time i drive the car with the Bislteins for a while. With new tyres and pads i may wind the boost up and see how low into the 1:22s i can go. There is a 1:21 in it but i dont know if i can put that good a lap together without ironing out the suspension better. But i have been watching my vids carefully and know i am losing time when i spin off and hit walls :laugh:

HAAAAA ! :laughing-smiley-014: Gold dude, GOLD ! I think I nearly pooped my pants laughing just then, at least You've got a sense'O humour about it eh?

WHY would people go and schedule motorsports events on the long weekend? Don't they know I've got an engagement party, and mates-back-up-home reunion thing happening ? ? I wanted to go car-whore at Phillip Island for the Vic champs too, Gee-Gosh I like those sports sedans! >_<

Have fun guys, I'm out.. >_<

I haven't taken time off for almost 3 years so I'm going away for the weekend...

Looks like Aaron will take this one, unless Snowy or Scotsman pull something out of the hat!!!!

Troy, don't push for that 1:21, it may be out of reach for the time being...

If i front the 2.5k for tyres, pads and fuel....i will be trying my little heart out. I will be happy with a few laps in the 1:22s, but i need just one lap where i get into the 21s. If i grab 3rd through turn 1. 4th up to Dandenong. And use max revs i think the car can do it >_< Its just that the car is a drift machine when i use those gears...hopefully there may be a little truth to the poor rear grip and gearbox fluid thing and i may find some of the lost grip????

Not having a serious go at you Hardman but that's the softest excuse for not attending a motorsport day I have ever heard.

There are only 2 excuses accepted by your peers and they are:

1. My car is broken.

2. I have to attend my own funeral.

Soft.

As for scheduling over a long weekend, we take what we can get.

Haha, gotta pay that.. . . it's totally Valid!

My car is broken though. (will be going wednesday I hope, shall report on stainless exhaust manifold's usefulness)

How's the Commondore trukin' on Budge? I've got a VH awaiting V6 transplant completion in the backyard.. . . :/

Awesome Snowie....if you can do mine at the same time that would be great....just let me know when and where :/

Ferni....I didn't have a close look....if thats the case why can't we set one up on the drivers side of the circuit and just run the IR receiver to point through the drivers side window?

    • 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
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
