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.

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).

      Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.

      If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.

      Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.

      Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
