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).

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
