Had a great day Scott - good to see you and the crew. :action-smiley-069:

Guys

This went much better than your descriptions of last year.

I was near last in a field of 82 first run was about 11:30

Got six runs in by 3PM

After the second run the process had refined to:

- we were doing burnouts as the car in front was launching up the hill

- cars released when car in front of that was half tgrack at S2

- so a car was being released about every 20 to 30 seconds.

Although the scruteneering and paperwork was slow in the morning (but on time to the program) once up and running it was all good.

I would recommend this to people considering the Come and Try at Collingrove.

Saw a 35R with S series plates parked at a furniture place down south.. Owner i'd say, used to see a 34R parked at the same place..

that sleep center joint? might be ax53b70p25's new car...

33 v spec with plates VSPEC3 also getting the full service at west lakes car wash

Would of been 'Red Back' after the hillclimb yesterday :)

Also as he said above, would definatly recomend it for anyone thinkin about entering! Should involve it in SAU:SA calender

Also spotted a maroon/red 32 GTR with nice dished rims going the other way while i was drivin home from Collingrove between woodside-harndorf area?? Anyone from here?

    • You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎  
    • Good work, and thanks for posting up your solution for future people!
    • Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned. 
    • To what gain?
    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
