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.

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
