I'm making the trip down from Brisbane again for this year's Speed Weekend. Its always the first weekend of December. It will the Mountain Straight Hillclimb on Sunday, which is just awesome! Far better than the Esses Hillclimb. I ran in 2003 in my 2000cc IPRA Datsun 1200 coupe, 2005 in my R32 GTR where I managed to get 3rd outright on the Mountain Straight Hillclimb, and this year will be in my CA18DET Datsun 1200 coupe - IPRA spec minus the turbo restictor... with 230rwkw's and somewhere around 950kg's it should be interesting to see how it goes against some GTR's!

I look forward to seing the old 1200 going again ( Should be gunning for outright depending on what sports sedans enter) I also cant wait to see how the GTR goes in comparison. This would have to be my favorite event for the year all I need is around another 100 odd kw at the treads to try and keep up LOL.

welcome aboard Andy!

btw do you reckon this 4.375 diff be OK for the Supersprint, or should I be looking at getting that other 4.1 in the car? I picked up a front spoiler a couple of weeks ago too - should help front end grip a little into the chase...

Thanks mate.

The 4.3 should be fine will be pulling close to 7500in 5th. I run with the 4.6 in it a few years back and had to raise rev limit to 8000 was hitting 7800 just before the kink and again just before the chase was making less power but still pulling close to 230km/h. I cant remember 100 % if I ever run with the 4.11 at supersprint. I had run at oran park, wakefield and local drags. The day I raced against your GTR and lunched the clutch I was using the 4.375

I cant remember what we set the rev limit to with the new engine I think from memory around 8000 I can change it on the day if you like.lll Bring the laptop along.Just remember to bring the cable.

Cheers Andrew

whats the cost for such an event at bathurst?

So if your not a member of a car club with cams, you cant enter just for the day/event?

its $60 to join nsw sau and i think not 100% sure its like $150 for cams then $100+ plus for the racing..

I had a freakin awesome time again!!!

Unfort had some bad luck with my wheels - stripped a nut and couldnt get the semi's on so was on my dodgy street tyres all weekend.

the sprint - first run I equaled my PB from last year, and my 3rd run got a 55!!

the hillclimb was just....amazing! my first run I was sooo scared. I dont think Ive been that scared behind the wheel for awhile!!

still, last run cracked the sub 60's!!

got a 59.65!

Great weekend, and can't wait for next years WITH semi's!!!!!! :(

that mountain straight hillclimb sure is an adrenaline rush. I remember in 2005 trying to pick what line I'd run through those fast blind corners over the top in the rearview mirror while being marshalled down the hill to the start line... hehe then its a leap of faith on the way back up!

well done on the PB Chris - you smashed last years time!

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
