Sorry its not a Skyline... but it is faster.

I did listen when you guys told me my GTR was too clean to track, so I had to buy another track car. Its okay, I still have the GTR and although she's a little jealous at the moment, I'm sure she knows how special she is.

You were at Wakie today? and didn't come say hi? Hmmmphhh

j/k :) did you like the new surface?

Nice one, Michelle!

Now, take out that Holden V6 and drop in a VQ35 with open exhausts!

What was that? Rules for your racing class? What rules? Just tell them it's the new V6 from the VE series... :)

hmmm I just realised... then when you can't come to our track days (cos you're always working!!!!) Georgie can come instead and go back telling you what an awesome time you missed out on :)

BTW, the next hillclimb is on 2nd March, are you working? Are you coming down to Wheels Expo 16th March?

Nick its a Formula Holden/Formula 4000 car, used to Aus main open wheeler class until F3 took over. And they still hold the lap records at almost every Aussie track too.

Michelle is "Hocking" Derek Hocking? If so he still has his race team based up in castle hill next to Hills Motorsports. It would be a good idea to get in touch for any tips unless you have a tame FH guru in your back pocket :)

Hmmm... I'm sure a VR38TT would fit :)

......"What do you mean official? There's nothing wrong here, it's still a V6!"

Hocking as in Chris Hocking

nice one! very hard core I like it. formula holden is pretty much the fastest class to race in aus so hold onto your hat!

I've been advised to start working on strengthening my neck muscles to deal with the G forces. I'm also told to expect quite a bit of bruising as I am thrown around the cockpit (is it still a cockpit with a lady driver or is it the box office?)

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
