I was wrapped with the day, and I'm pretty happy with 15th on the back track!!! 1300cc of raw power (54kw at they fly from factory 10 years and 200,000km ago) was a lot more fun than I thought it could be. And for the people who thought I cut those chicanes, I quote Duncun

"and the starlet and rx7 carried brilliant speed through the chicanes,"

and this one for fun

"and I loved the starlet 4 wheels off the ground over the jump every time biggrin.gif"

:) But seriuosly next one I won't have a matchbox car. Something with four times the power and driving the right wheels, forty times as fun maybe?

Congrats to all the three NA guys, I think we all managed to be in the top half of the field (1.47 me, 1.46 drift majik, and a 1.38 or something ridiculos buy duncan) holding it to all you Barrometric cheaters (I'm just Jealous)

I have to thank everyone who organised the day, and the volunteers did a great job, especially those time keepers. I am buying some timing equipment soon, so I think I will lend it out next time to help out those time keepers!!!

Is there any handicap prizes?

Just joking.......but seriously :dry:

P.S. are there any shots of that hump, and If there isn't, how far was I off the ground buy?

P.P.S. I think I'll opt for tyres bigger than 165's next time :)

RX7 owns Skylines I see :dry:

To be honest, great RACE car, but the money that was in it, is not far off the money thats in the Dutton rally winning GT-R which happens to be 3 seconds faster around wakefield..... wasn't really a fair car to compare to all of the STREET skylines

Very nice car though, still would love to own one

I was a bit suprised that a 1300cc toyota starlet with no mods, 60,000 k old tyres and standard worn suspension was as fast as some of the GTR's :)

I think Turismo did a 1:47 in it. I am really glad I was not in the car fro that lap! a 1:47 in my gtst felt fast enough...

He was second fastest on the skid pan too. He must have done some speed through the chicanes. I wonder if he took any shortcuts... I know there was a couple 'available'. I think I only did a 1:47.
he is just a very gifted driver. he always shows me up ;)
On the second course of the skidpad, he actually got the fastest time... beating the RX7 by about a second...

He did it twice, but screwed up the garage, and i told him to have another go, and he cracked it perfectly :rant:

Can i PLEASE give out style points next time? :dry:

Turismo did some awesome driving in the Starlet and I agree with Nic, I'm glad I wasn't in the car with him LOL

How funny is that? Starlet takes out Skyline event hahahhahahaa*snort*hahahahahahaa

He should be proud :down:

hahahah you snorted :)

When I was marshalling the gate at the back track - he came in so hot and with alot of speed and just locked up and then slid all crossed up, almost out of the gate! was freaking funny but the grin he had on his face was priceless!

Yeah have to say Turismo almost drove the wheels off that thing lol :ban: a lot better than I am.

Hahaha, it was funny watching the little Starlet take off from the line, chirp seconds, then lock up the rears just as he was about to enter the first chicane EVERY TIME.

I was joking to my sister the day before that it would be funny if we drove down and entered in her new Mazda3, and managed to do the same thing that Turismo did. A small car is great for those tight chicanes, and a good driver (which pretty much rules me out, and my sister isn't anywhere near experienced enough) can make up for the lack of power and handling mods.

Turismo proved that the speed you can carry through those sections can quite easily make up for the lack of acceleration and speed between the corners.

Absolutely. Great effort. I think I needed to use first gear more out the back. Also looking at Turismo's times he actually did one faster but I think hit two cones from memory and they are a 5 second penalty each. I guess you could say it was a handling track, not a power track.

I got 6th fastest on back track w00000000000000000000t :dry: (if duncan didnt go I would have been 5th :) )

Mark (Tuk Tuk) was 20 in my GTR, he pulled a 136 I thought, but must have been 135 + cone tap in the garage (didn't knock it over).

Oh nice, Cefiro gets 3rd officially... man have to say it again that back track is bloody awesome!!!!!

Great driving by everyone....CHUBBS for pulling his finger out on the last run and getting the 1:40!!! See a bit of a rev up and you go great guns....

I actullay got the vid of me doing the reversing on the skid pan, pretty funny viewing actually!!

Cant wait for next one!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
