Oh I love these road trip and overnight stays....its half the fun.

The day was great thanks to all the organisers. I loved the back track....next time maybe we can do the whole course lap style rather than a section with chiacine. I know there are a lot of people who wished the chicanes weren't there and would've loved to do that last corner as well as the WHOLE main straight.

The track itself is scary especially when you are on povo wheels and you feel the grip go.

now those with photos....CHOP CHOP!!!! I wanna show my workmates

Was good fun. My car is filth now tho. Will post pics up later.

Next time we need to manage more runs on the circuit . . . . somehow

Yeah black cars just looked like shit after the skidpan

Dont worry about the track runs - ive already got that covered for the next one :laugh:

Canberra is a freken huge roundabout!!!!!

I went to get BP Ultimate at Kingston. Getting there was fine, then I was trying to find a way back to the place we were staying, but ended up doing happy laps round and round Canberra. :laugh:

I just wanna post this up again:

Haha. I'll have to, i only tasted RWD today.

I certainly could have used a 2-way around the donut cone all tho no help needed falling off the track any where else

I was going for the 'most original way around the skid pan' award but got upstaged by a reversing a31 ;)

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
