45.8 is super fast. What are you guy's going to do with more track time. Might see if I can bring the GT2 or the 'Black' CLK AMG out for a blast on thursday!! Should be interesting as Loftys car is good for low 46's with the restrictors in it and full IPRA weight.

Even with the rain Saturday did not end up being to bad. Gave Mark & Russ plenty of time on the track to themselves to get to know the lines. Considering it was their first ever time at OP it will be very interesting to see what happens as they get more track time there.

Was good to meet everyone who was there ( Steve, Chris, Wizard & Wayne ) Hopefully cant wait to see you guys out on track. However I think Wizard has an upper hand after speaking with him he has plenty of exp at OP. I hopefully will be making my way out their on thursday once again to help the boys and see what they can do time wise on the full circuit.

I'll be there thursday to give JP a hand with the slot car (aka the Boat)

when he puts Russ and Mark in there places (his words not mine) lol.

all the midnight oil better pay off

Good to meet everyone on saturday and will catch up again on thursday

cheers Ron

oooooh, the big show down eh? who's side am I on? Johnny is a mate, but so is mark and russ, plus they have the mighty GTR where as johnny drives some kind of half arsed convertible 'targa roof' thing.

It will be close. Johnny has heaps more OP experience and a pretty well sorted sled. Mark and Russ are both very handy too but with no oran experience they will need a few laps to get up to speed. having said that Mark is a bloody quick learner and not afraid to go at it so I predict Mark will be .5 seconds quicker by the end of the day. sorry johhny. hehe.

actually I reckon you should put your cash on me in the silvia. I might be able to sort some nice second hand semis before thursday and I reckon if I just weld the gate shut I should be able to run about 11ty pounds of boost which should negate john's "push to pass" advantage, plus I've done heaps of oran park laps on my playstation which means I'll know all the tricks better than mark or russ.

so can someone put up a sheep station for this?

Looks as though I will be out at oran later in the afternoon on thursday to have a play in the GT2 and the AMG. I will be at Wakey with them on wednesday and maybe Eastern creek as well.

Will be using oran at the end of the day on thursday to do 400m times.

So yes, I am trying to do all 3 tracks in two days with 2 hot cars...life is hard sometimes :down:

haha!! hey bozman that sounds like the life!!! bloody hell

will be good to get down there and get on the full track! can't wait.

ron , tell johnny he'd better weld a front diff in there if he expects to beat a gtr! :down:

but give us a few laps practice first ! like about a hundred.

Yes it is the 'BLACK' CLK just like the F1 pace car. This is the only one in the country at the moment. Australia is getting a limited number of 50!!!

It is currently on a truck on its way from Melbourne. It will be in Sydney in the morning and I will have it by lunch :D

haha!! hey bozman that sounds like the life!!! bloody hell

will be good to get down there and get on the full track! can't wait.

ron , tell johnny he'd better weld a front diff in there if he expects to beat a gtr! :D

but give us a few laps practice first ! like about a hundred.

hehe, if johnny whinges about not having a front diff one more time I'll ram one up his clacker!!

we have already have a GTR owners excuse book thanks to many unkind individuals not accepting our 'reasons' for failure, I think we need a john penlington, 300ZX drivers excuse book now. I'll kick things off:

1. i don't have a front diff.

2. i don't have fancy tyres.

3. push to pass button fell off. (from constant use).

4. I couldn't get my targa roof closed.

5. I forgot to put in the bonnet pins.

6. I don't have a front diff.

7. i'm just a little battler, not like all those guys with a decent budget and a workshop of their own

8. A hairdresser called Cecil mistook my car for his and took off in it.

9. I slipped on rocks dragged onto the track by fatz.

10. I don't have a front diff.

11. I had a nail appointment that I just couldn't break

12. I slipped on a GTR's oil.

13. I couldn't make it as desperate houswives was on telly.

14. Beer Baron put me off with all his trash talking.

That's a solid start. :)

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
