A 6ft 3" fella who smokes, drinks, loves the Casino and has finally seen the light and parked his GTR and acquired a neat little 2L rwd car with Trust goodness.

He is the best and worst of us, knows no fear of armco and isnt afraid to ram others off the road...so prey you are in a different group :)

muhahahahahaha. couldn't have said it better myself troy.

yep, it's all locked in. I'll be there on saturday. I plan to restrict my can intake on friday to "moderate" so I should be in fine form. and with troy as my pit crew how could anything possibly go wrong?! hopefully I can coax troy into having a bash at it too so he can show me the quick way round this island of yours and where all the good penguin viewing spots are (that is assuming all your decadent motorsport hasn't killed them already).

yeah I want to meet as many of you kindly folk as I can! Not sure if I will be able to do sunday as I have the small matter of the 900km drive back home on sunday but we'll see. Anyway, I'll be back a few times through the year I think.

just be aware. we have a saying up here in NSW. "Rubbing is racing, but if you get caught rubbing it by yourself you're just another wanker in a fast car".

Ah yes. Never heard that before. But truer words have never been spoken. I am after all a wanker, its just that i own a slow car that i try to punt fast :teehee:

well that is no surprise as I just made it up. but it rings just as true today as it did 30 minutes ago when I decreed it so. and yes I have been caught rubbing it by myself. turn 10 eastern creek. ouch. guilty, another wanker in a (semi) fast car.

Slow car??? C'mon get your hand off it... I don't know of too many rwd 2 litres getting around a track as fast as you do, heck even 2.5 litre cars struggle to match your times...

So, I'm assuming your comparing your car to the quick GTR's...

I'll let you drive my car and you'll see how different they are....

Not that my car is a really quick GTR anyway.... :miner:

Oh, and I might make an appearance on Saturday.....

hey

off topic but if you are out in melb on sat night give us a yell

im in

Will do Paul...and Jack, come for a drive down on Saturday. I want the Count to see your car. I will just sit back and laugh at him getting all riled up and work himself into a state... then sit back and listen to all the hatched plans to sell the S13 after nly 24 hours of ownership and spend more money on the GTR. Your car has that affect on ppl Jack :miner:

LOL, was going to bring the truck to make some money, but then again I might aswell fire up the R, haven't driven it in a couple weeks!!!!

So from my understanding the Baron bought an S13 track whore to punt around the island??? You driving it aswell Troy??? For some reason I've got this urge for driving a wild RWD car that makes a lot of noise and is a real handful...

Bloody Newton and his youtube vids... :whistling:

Im chasing down tyres. If i score some i will tax the S13 and take it for a drive, otherwise ill let Ricko get all the seat time he can at the Island!

This car is a bit of an unkown qty, its got some nice gear on it but its no Big Red. Actually its abit of a Silvia twin of my car

Next track day you are welcome to tag team my car. I woudl actually like your feedback because any informed opinion is better then the tripe i post on SAU :whistling: Only i hope its not too wild with some of the new bits going in.

Nothing is too wild for the Stig!!!!

I'm in, I've driven GT-R's and an STi on the track, really want to try out a RWD, and yours is definetly the pick of the crop!!!!

actually the resemblance between that fine gentleman and my good self is remarkable. possibly separated at birth!

saturday night sounds like a winner for sure! some fine dining, a few beverages then off to win some cash as the casino.

Well done to Ferni who raised the bar today!!! PB of 1:48.9...

BBGTR and Ant have a task ahead of them tomorrow!!!

Good to meet Beer Baron and see his new track whore get punted around, even Bris had a go and was impressed considering it was on street tyres...

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
