I suppose he was busy with work :P It was the first car i went looking for, was keen to see a few R32 GTSt with good power and how they handled the back part of OP. Adz seems to be struggling with his and it has even less power then a 30 would be making.

And Johhny P, surely there is a panel shop out there that will do you the service of spraying the old girl for some panel space on what has to be one of the coolest and more original cars getting around at the tracks of the east coast? A liclk of paint and some tidy up and it would be a new car! :(

Thanks to the local exhaust place, my car is now running again and able to be driven. Next stop is the panel shop for the rear bar and supports....

Some great photos getting around...

3 seconds before impact !!!!!

Rear shot of complete tosser... "jeez Brett, the front of your car doesn't look too good" says the old dude

I'm glad your car is OK. I saw the front of the MRT car and wondered what he had been up to.

The day started with a laugh for me - 1st session Middleton came in to check tyre temps. The front brakes caught fire - really on fire. We're yelling send it back out (only way to cool them) as they stand there looking at it. :laughing-smiley-014:

As for the event, I think a 2 day format might be the go. More time for socializing and more time to run single car superlap.

Yeh, shows the proximity to the car in front coming up to a blind crest just before a big stop where a car has already rolled :P He should have been using a lot more grey matter. :(

LOL, his line also shows why he was quick, he was really hammering over the ripple strip, looks to be very little ground clearance in that shot! He was up the thing for sure! Shame, because he was quick and hammering out good times, just didnt seem to make any sense , unless he was trying out for the Blue Angels or the Roulettes. :/

well aaron took it fairly well. I can think of half a dozen folks that wouldn't have been so cool and would have hit back. and not on the track... in the pits. haha. you should see the red faces when two GT3 cup cars come together. kevlar porsche motor sport bumper costs about $8K so a little tap on the bum usually gets a little tap on the face in return... :P not that I condone that type of thing.

I have to go with mr lotus here. following an 'unknown' car and driver that close over the flip-flop is always asking for trouble. there is no room for error there and the braking distance is so different between drivers and cars. with only one real racing line it's a risky business.

yeah the line is ok. it's definately the fast way through. just straight line the whole thing and hold on. have to commit pretty hard and just hang on. it's nast as hell on the car though.

ZOMG finally caught up to the thread. I shouldn't have started from April...

Congrats to all the SAUers out giving it a go and then some. Must be a weird feeling for some on streeters if you're used to semi's. I don't remember the last time I did OP on streeters. Did we have this discussion already or does it seem like Federal 595RS shouldn't really be classed as semis? I've have a pair and I love them but would class them as grippy street tyres that wear very well on the track. They would make a good control tyre for the class if they have the sizes available.

Also, does anyone know how the evo managed to roll it? I'm never confidant I've got the right line over the flip flop.

seriously, someone please give fatz a drive. he doesn't charge much, just 1 meat pie and 3 tinnies for lunch and 2 meat pies and 12 tinnies for dinner. for that you get 1 days driving service. he is tops. heaps better than bozzo or lofty even. and if he's driving he can't get into any mischief and can't embarrass me any more than usual.

tell the people how good you are fatz. record holder for most dohnuts on the hill before being asked to leave by eastern creek management if I recall correctly... umm, most laps done whilst dragging exhaust. pioneer of the "full sick-o-meter".

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
