unfortunately the blue one crashed quite heavily into the bank on the outside of the 2nd loop, damaging the front right suspension and bumper. There's photos of it in automopho's gallery if you really want to see that.

and my new car at its first event. ran a 46.86 yesterday which not as quick as my old GTR yet (46.2), but still has lots of potential left in it. much more difficult to drive at this tight technical track than the GTR was.

Good to see some more late model turbo cars coming out these days! The 180SX was running pretty good times, and the white GTR was also going well. The guy in the blue one hadn't beenthere before and was looking better on each run until he unfortunately overdid it a bit. Hope they keep coming back - they've got the power to be challenging the class record when they get more familiar with the track.

Hi Michael, the hillclimb is owned and run by the MG Car Club. www.mgccq.org.au they have a calendar and email contact details there for more info on their events.

You need to join a CAMS affiliated car club and get a CAMS licence $88. The Club you join can give you the form, or you can download it from CAMS website. you can get a list of Clubs here. Holden, Northern Districts, MG, Gold Coast Tweed, and Aus All Rally Group are some of the cheaper clubs - around $50.

other than that all you really need is a helmet, long sleeve cotton shirt and jeans, non-synthetic shoes (canvas, leather), and some basic safety gear for the car - a fire extinguisher, and a blue triangle to mark the position of the battery. That's it!

would be good to see more Skylines/GTRs out there. They have a Come and Try day on Sunday, 30th September. You can get more info from [email protected]. They're always popular, so it pays to register interest early. Good way to get a feel for the track without any pressure, and with some very fast/experienced drivers to give tips and some local knowledge. normally get alot of laps in too, whereas a hillclimb event you normally only get 4 or 5 runs. The next hillclimb event is the week before that on the 23rd of Sept if you can't wait or want to get straight into the competition side of it. They also have a sprint at QR on the 22nd if that interests you.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • 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?
