Woohoo 'bout time someone else joined Jeno, Jo and I at the hillclimb... next one is on the 25th May, having a break in June then having a 2 lapper in July.

C'mon Donnan, you should come to this one :)

I'm hoping Ben and Alex will be there too.

Should be out there, just my tyres are a little low after texi... So i will be a little lacking in teh grip department, But it will be my first time out there and my second event in the GTR so i will be taking it slow.

Unless i take the open wheeler :banana:

Bring 'em both :)

i bought 2 tyres today from north west tyres on wollongong street in fyshwick today, cheap as, they were only 205/55/16 though but still $80 a tyre fitted

You should have asked me... We have the 595EVO available in 205/55R16 - Awesome tyre...

Now you know :P

Congrats Michele on the win, not like they ever stood a chance.

Sorry we only got to see the last 3 laps. hope you enjoyed yourself.

Those last three were my best (which surprised me, they didn't feel like it) but I think I must have been showin' off cos you guys were watchin' me LOL

Oh bugger - it's now been edited :( - ignore above link, the content has changed and for some reason the button to EDIT is missing from my posts.

So here is what it said before the edit

Guys and Gals

I've just downloaded the data from Michele last run and yes - she was showin' off!!

She was carrying 200km/h through the kink on the straight and breaks down to 85 km/h in 5 seconds - gotta be happy with that!!!! :D

I think these smilies tell the story :O ...... :D .... :) ..... :)

We have analysed the data a bit more and an update:

Michele is pulling about 1.2 Gs (lat - thats pushing her sideways) through the corner. As Michele goes into the corner she is doing about 164 KM/h, so her braking from 200 KM/h down to the corner is in about in 41m in .8 of a second. As Michele hits the brake she is pulling about 1.2 Gs forward movement too. This is into corner two (one after the kink).

Few other stats:-

- corner onto the straight - pulling about 1.3 Gs side movement.

- fish hook - about 1.4Gs side movement

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
