ill be there for sure car is on trailer and got some spare street tyres for just in case it does rain you betta come chris and anybody else that said they would dont be scared by a little rain it will clear and any one that wants to say hi i will be in a koala trucks van you wont miss me.

well,

bom website shows rain over gosford way, nothing down south. f**k. im half asleep and can do with 5 hours more. dammit. ok, leaving soon!!!!

Internet talkers aye?

Well, Im still at home....rear right wheel area making stupid noises.

came back home, jacked car up, couldnt see much or anything that stood out. free spun the wheel, no noise. took wheel off, had a look, couldnt see anything.

wheel back on, go to drive in first, clunking/metal noises again.

It's started raining out here now anyway.

+1 for new car

clunking doesn't sound good. Otherwise i'd blame a bearing, or maybe the diff fairies came and installed a 1.5 way while you were asleep :thumbsup:

hah knowing me its just something basic and easy.

Im gonna change tyres abck to the the road tyres and see what happens :thumbsup:

new car - bah - I love this car too much!

put my road tyres back on...and so far so good, no noise...

thread here for thoughts etc http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Cl...se-t198667.html

I've run into a few problems. Took my car in to get the sway bar plates and link on.

When they jacked it up they said it wouldn't damage the sil to put the supports there - it did ! Now I have to take it in for repair and paint on Monday :rofl:

In the future I'm going to have to get tough and tell them to let me position the 4 point jack personally.

unfortunately got given the wrong sway bar link to go with the mounting plate :blink:

Looks like I have to wait til 2nd Jan to get replacement.

This time i'm going to buy both the right and left as spares and get them welded with two strips of reinforcent longitudinally so they don't snap every 6 months.

I seem to remember seeing something about a track day on 7th Jan?

Dam man that sucks bad :rofl:

hope you get it all sorted out asap.

There is a day at Wakie with autosports 19th jan however unsure if it has sold out.

I know theres a few days early jan at OP for L2S days. best to double check with them,

cheers, chris/weeevillllll

man i am SO exhausted......

cooked the brake fluid on the first session going hardcore into corneres.....

came into the pit with smoke pouring out of the front rims and having absolutely no pedal pressure at all

spent the next few sessions trying NOT to use the brakes around the turn

which led to me drift around a corner, spin out and crunch a bit of my front bar

But damn, that was too much fun. Still got a few corners I could improve upon but overall my street tyres are a suprisingly good combo for the currently power level.

Think I'll take it easy now........6 events and the engine is still alive and kicking. Nissan sure know how to make a good car.

thanks Duncan and Neil for all the help.

Boys and Girls GET OUT THERE AND DRIVE!!!!!!! $120 for the whole day and you practically get the track all to yourselves....what more could you ask for!!!

lol who need brakes anyway..

yeah the day was fun, my first ever lap was a bit nervous which leads me to a massive spun out in teh second corner,

but nuh after a few laps, got the hang of it, pushing my luck to keep up with everyone :happy:

didnt get a chance a use up all the cable tie which was a bummer..

next time i mite get a few semi n better pads, top it up with good oil and all

yeah james mate, bl with the front bar, initial d style, but you will prob pick up a few chicks with the bar ;)

my last lap was like clutch n handbrake every corner and try to worn my tyres outta abit lol

but meh

anyway off to wash the nugget..

Thanks Duncan for the paper work, knew i was gonna sign my life away haha again..

good stuff guys :happy: yeah you had some good weather today!

was it busy in the L2S group?

sheng - do not get semi's!!!

trust me - learn as much as you can on street tyres. The last few years Ive been on street tyres. You learn your limits and car control, this year I finally got semi comp tyres!

hahah it was damn quiet today wasn't it? probably the quietest weekend track day I've ever seen. I reckon there would have been 0 cars for the last open wheeler session.

Sheng, from now on your name is "spin king" I might just change it now. I almost killed myself laughing when I saw you had your headlights on, I realised it was to blind oncoming traffic when you were pointing the wrong way in turn 2 :happy:

bad luck about the front bar James. In the end the most important thing you can do to prep for a track day is to put new quality brake fluid in.....so chuck some motul rbf600 in and I'm sure the brakes will be fine - the 33 GTST are among the best brakes on a stock car.

Duncan,

heres an idea....

for 2008....if the L2S days are that quiet at OP - perhaps we could have a "mini series!"

:happy:

lol @ spin king, change it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11ty

    • 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.
