theres a lot of 'he said' / 'she said'.

sounds like something went on with the time sheets, a 'pen issue' ? lol. but u can always expect the club exec / members to stick up for their own. not a lot you can do except boycott the events in future. were u the guy they accused of doing a burnout / skid as you left ?

Funny stuff josh...He's the same bloke who tried to get up me because i said their motorkhana days werent much good in another thread in the motorsport section.

It's weird though, I dont get motorkhanas...they are just so boring. There is no adrenalin rush, no real time competition, no real racing skill involved. Real racing involves more then one car (but pref about 20)on the track at a time and it must have a start finish line, where the first person to cross it wins after x amount of laps.

Bloody Nora Mike go easy! Real racing also involves a minumum out lay of megabucks and an on going budget that could feed a family.

These are peeps kickin back and havin some weekend fun. Most of them dont earn what it would take to run a real race car so they find their fun as best they can. Having attended a skidpan day I must say theres a lot of fun to be had just buzzin around on a wet track letting it all hang out without fear of having a megadollar breakdown or worse. It may interest you to know that there are some useful driving tips to be gleaned at these days as well. Now get to bed! :)

I agree on your motorkhana view, although I guess it keeps your basic skills and practice up a bit. Can't believed you entered in one though! More so the Gympie one. What class are you racing in at QR? Trying to find a more serious class (EI: not Porsche club day events) for the 911. Want something I have half a chance at ranking a decent position in though, its only hobby and its not a dedicated race car either.

It was in general reference to my own dislike for motorkhanas. I also have attended one and i thought it could have been alot better. They were getting up us for hanging the arse out too much....and i could go on and have a whinge but i couldnt be stuffed.

Noel, ive learnt those tricks already from tear arsing around on wet roads like an idiot in the work utes. From what ive gathered, a more balanced car like a skyline is alot more predictable and gives a shit load more feedback then a stupid toyota hilux with 80% of its weight in the first third of its overall length. You learn a few things about car control from that. Not only that, but from my stupid fixation with Initial D in grade 12 i practied heel/toeing for a few years until i got it down-pat....and then we get a dog box...fate! Moral of the story, motorkhanas are stupid :) There i said it!

Fighting a mod on his own forum is akin to pissing in the wind mate. you are on a hiding to nothing. cut your losses and bail. :)

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
