I've had yet another great day at the track and I managed to come home with three trophies :yes: and hubby received one.

Take a lap with me in the GTR

Thank you to the SAU'ers who came to say hi today, it was great to catch up and meet some more people :blink:

PS I tried the camera strapped to the seat, it vibrated too badly, so I youtubed the helmet cam version again. Managed to stop the clunking noise - I attached some gaff tape to the batteries as they were clunking in the housing, ever so slightly, but enough to cause a loud clunk.

There were three GTR's entered in the SV category and they came 1st, 2nd and 3rd - Mark (hubby), Dereck and meeeeeee, then followed (if I remember rightly) an EVO 6? a WRX and I thought there was another. Apart from the first three, I can't remember the order of the rest of the category.

I came third in the Type 1/2 over 3001cc category with the GTST and then Fastest Lady. IT WAS FUN!

When they release the results I'll post in more detail. I had around 3-4 PB's today, even with the GTST so I'm happy as a pig in mud atm.

If there's a small car track you've just done it. Surprised the EVO didn't win it. Congrats

Cool man. I'm gonna enter mine next time.

Next Hillclimb is Saturday 01 September (Saturdays are not common).

Helpful stuff

Memberships are due this time of the year... so if you join, you get to June 2008. You can download the Entry Forms and Supp Regs from the website and pay online/direct deposit into their bank account. You can join CAMS on the day at the club (confirm this is still possible with the secretary). Entries should be paid and emailed in before the day (usually Wed/Thur before the event) or cost $20 more and risk missing out if they have a full field.

You need - Approved helmet, 100% cotton clothing from ankles to neck/wrists, small fire extinguisher with metal bracket (on sale at Super Cheap atm for $19), blue triangle to identify battery location i.e on bonnet, a piece of gaff over the positive terminal on your battery.

Thats all I can think of off the top of my head. Not much required for a fun time.

I'm here to help if anyone has any questions.

Cheers

Anthony they are great photos. The motion/movement backgrounds came out well. I'd love a hi-res copy if its not too much trouble.

It was terrific to catch up with you today, we look forward to seeing you at the next climb :yes:

hacvng fanged my datto around that track quite a few times bring back memories watching that vid.

last corner on the bottem of the hill makes MAD sideways :D

it really is a small car track but even more suited to small cars is the wakefield hillclimb track. you HAVE to have awesome suspension to do any good on it.

The Wakefield hillclimb track is sooo tight its almost no fun at all LOL good for karts i imagine.

I had an absolute ball yesterday at Fairbairn - is there a cure for motorsport addiction? If so... is it called bankruptcy?

      My BMW 335i

      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.
