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:

Hi all! :)

Had a great time at Texi - my first time on a wet skidpan and I think I can safely claim the "queen of understeer" title!!! lol!

Was awesome to meet you all and put faces to names/user id's - you guys rock! Look forward to seeing you all at future events..... :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!!!

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
