Hey pal, I was out there too.... saw your ride but didn't know who you were!!

Nice times indeed... I was only running low 1:30s in a 32 GTR (have run 1:27s in a Gts-t) as I was tryin to save my car from the heat!! Bloody hell it was HOT!!!

I ended up boiling my brake fluid and losing them altogether!!

I was considerate enough to pull off line and allow the quicker guys to go past and gave em a wave thru... no hassles.

Perhaps she should have been given a black flag and had a caution to let the faster cars by??

Anyways, I still had a blast... bring on the next one.... and cooler weather. :blink:

yeah that was on street tyres too the semi slicks didnt come in on time, as far as the black flag it was out for me!! hopefully on the next tarck day the old codger will be dead! f#$ken pr&%k. he wouldnt listen to me he just shouted GET OFF THE TRACK! YOURE GOING TOO FAST!!.

I love that second last corner at mallala.

My first track day there i was entering that corner at about 60 km at the apex in the morning, by the end of the day it was at 100+ such good fun.

^^ agreed... I was on my street cheap-ass crap tyres also.

They certainly do make the difference. Next time I will definitely be rollin' on something a bit stickier!

I had a quick word to the guy from the GP rally that was in the 33... he was runnin' 1:21s!!

yeah he had re55's and he should be running a lot faster considering he has a 4wd? last time i went on a practice day there was a dood running a 400kw gtr r33 and the best time he could run was 1:25 and that was about 22degrees on the track. you can shave at least 3 seconds off with semi slicks! oh btw throw out your interior that will save you about 20kg. maybe we should organise an SAU track day? to hire the track for a weekend day is about $5000 if 50 of us were in it'd cost about $100 each.

I know a guy doing 1:12's on his 600cc motorbike.

thats pretty sweet i think the lap record is Formula Holden Paul Stokell (Birrana Reynard) 01:02.6 7/08/1994 and v8 supertaxis 1:08 greg murphy man i got a ways to go!

I think they just dont like skylines at Mallala, my self and drinkies got red flaged for oversteer and then our team leader got told if we drive that fast through corners again that he will disqualify our whole team.

I was only doing 1.27's

mate sounds like youre onto something! maybe you have to have a pushrod dinosaur or a HQ racecar to race there, maybe theyr scared of gettin their buts caned by skylines, i cant believe this shit! where can we use all our power? maybe we should have another hills run???????

practice days are better you can go harder! but you need a cams licence next one i think is in april, you need helmet, fire extinguisher, and car smust be track ready , or you will break something TRUST ME! brakes,tyres,oh tyres!!!! radiator and gearbox, if you even have a hint your car is not up to abuse, FORGET it you won't have a memorable experience!!! suspended licence didnt stop me on the track you just don't say anything about it if you have a cams licence that is current ALL GOOD!

i think they got there groupings a bit mixed up. What was that red corolla doing in group 2? It was way slower than the rest in that group and just got in the way. I think they only group car by the drivers experience and don't take the cars into account at all. I was only out there for an hour (that heat was something else) did they put you in group 4? What colour was the evo the chick was driving?

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
