woooohah.

what a day. I had a good time and came up with some decent times. It was my first time at a timed event and the track was very tight and scary in places.

I was the one that came off the track and it was a fairly scary experience. on my previous run I did a 1.46 and it was a very tidy run.

Coming over the last crest downhill (just after the cone that was next to the oil) i started to oversteer i lifted off and got the car straight, but by then my front left was on gravel and it was all over :laugh: i was doing about 70k's. after that it was a 20 metre slide down dirt and a big scare.

no one was hurt and there was no damage to the car. I really think the course was too dangerous for first timers with hipo cars.

big thanks to the organizers. they did a good job and their efforts were greatly appreciated. it ws also really nice to meet such a good bunch of people.

I had a GREAT day and I thought that the back circut cas AWESOME!

My first run wasnt to bad - 1 minute 47.04 seconds, but I hit one cone.

The second was slower - 1 minute 50.02 seconds.

But my third run shot me right up into some of the fastest of the day with a 1 minute 43.08 seconds! Not bad for a little R32 Gtst running street tyres :)

Im stoked about my times, my car and by the whole day, big thanks to everyone involved!

EDIT: Yes I WAS faster than Michelle (LadyBytes) who was egging me on all day about being beaten by a girl :yucky:

Congratulations :P

I think your time was awesome and a result of both skill and those awesome Federal tyres which made me very jealous on the day.

It impresses me that you aspired to be faster than a lady on the day. It really does go to show that us ladies are making our marks and it seems it did make you more determined :)

Also, I happen to have some fantastic video footage on my in car cam (as I returned from my lap and hadn't switched off yet) of you celebrating your score as you walked up to my car. Can you remember that little dance? The one which involved you grabbing at certain regions with both hands and thrusting? Its not on youtube YET!!!

Just wait til I get Federal 595's on the GTR - Although I'm in the GTR... I'm pretty certain your HP is up on mine, so I say its GAME ON at the SDMA Hillclimb on Sunday 30 September http://www.sdmahillclimb.com/ and I'm happy to risk a case of beer... even with your HP. Are you up for it?

Nah! honestly, you did really well out there, good work.

EDIT: You just may get me at the Hillclimb if you continue aspiring to drive like a woman :mellow:

well i just got see the footage bahahaha Mick is on fire ;) but what are the finger signals you are doing while dancing ???

They would be the fingers telling me his time on that last run... ONE : FOUR: THREE fingers

It should start a new trend I think...

^^ X3

Is the driver of the white R31 on here? I witnessed some insane corner entry's on the back track. He came up over the jump, sideways before the apex, and then linked the left hand sweeper. Mighty impressive

that was me, yeah it was alot of fun, i had a ball. out of the 3 runs on the back track i did, 2 of em i was just having fun drifting, after all its what my car is for, haha

im also pretty happy that the 1 grip lap i did i managed a 1:46, not bad for a 100rwkw NA RB30 and pretty crappy tyres. i dont know where that puts me in realation to everyone else, but im pretty impressed to be as quick as some of the faster skylines

the skidpan was a bit of fun, altho its a lot better with no cones. i wasnt trying to do good times on that just trying to drift as much as possible, so i did a 31 which wasnt particularly quick i dont think, but still a bit of fun.

im looking forward to the next one, and hopefully we can all get a few more runs, especially on the back track

DM

How good was it, I can't wait for the next one!!! I might bring the starlet out just for fun :dry::)

Congrats to everyone from the capital, cause I think we all did really well, showed them sydneysiders how to do it!!! Lets make sure we all do it again.

Even though I had an no passanger seat (costly wait) I should of got the camera in the car, I was really happy all day long with my times. Stiill about a second or two to catch but the 165/70 13 tyres weren't liking me much, and the rear brakes wouldn't stop locking, to little wait out back, made fore some interesting front wheel drifting though :)

Gotta do it again. Full stop!!!

    • 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.
