Howdy Sandgroupers,

I'm heading over to W.A. at the end of the month for a bit of a motorsport weekend getting a feel for the car and the tracks I'll be using for the Dutton Rally later in the year.

There is a practise day at Barbagallo on Sat June 30th and a CMG day at Collie on Sunday July 1st. Can't tell you much else as far as details but it would be great to see some real cars along at one or both of these days and to see what W.A. has to offer as far as fast Skylines go. From what I can tell the only fast cars over there are EVO's (which is what I'll be driving in) and that just isn't on so it would be super to be shown otherwise. :D

Cheers

Snowy

WAs Fastest Radial tyred Skyline is a DR30 with a basic RB25 lapping(long track) 62.5 with lots of improvements coming followed by a 2wd GTR with low 64s but these wont be at Dutton.Sofar we have not done to well with Skylines in WA in this type of event but the EVOs have been very strong.

I fly in late Friday night and head back the Monday morning. I'll be back later in July for Dutton though.

Well if there aren't YET many fast skylines out there in W.A. but you would like to get into having some legal fun feel free to come along and have a chat. I'm more than happy to talk to anyone that is keen. You guys have some of the best fun stuff you can do over there. Whilst Collie and Barbagallo might not be in the same league as say Phillip Island or Eastern Creek they still look like a lot of fun. And other places like AHG where they hold the regular sprint series and some of the hill climbs you have are awesome and a well sorted GT-R should smoke everyone. I had a play at AHG at Christmas time and its a brilliant facility.

If you get into it you won't regret it - it's the best fun you can have out of bed. :cool:

I own an r32 GTR that is being built for track. Most of my time has been spent at ahg and on the 12th of june i get the chance to run the car at full noise before pulling it apart for new turbos and a few other upgrades. With the sessions at the end of june and in july, can any one attend? What are the car/driver requirements. Oh and hope you have a blast in WA.

http://www.wascc.com.au/ - look at the events Calander and it is just listed as a tuning day. Buggered if I know what's needed for one of those - Blaise has orgnaised it. I just have to rock up and drive :)

From memory there is a little more to it than that. I will have to dig out some stuff (or try to find it atleast) when I get home. Because it is a test/tune day there will be proper race cars there & they don't want just anyone on the track without some preliminary lecturing etc.

    • 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.
