hi just wondering how long it takes to get there from sydney as im from newcastle

thanks

Hey mate I am from the hunter valley, I towed my car last year and it took me about 3.5 - 4 hrs. I will be heading down so you can convoy with me if ya want.

Okay, I'm in, I'm done and paid! Just need to get skillz... ;)

Bring it Chubbs!!!! :down:

He he he he he :P

I'm in and have paid.

WHA DA!! Awesome news... i hope it is with those new snails installed and all!! Just need to get Nick out!!

re: open wheelers - I called wakie today but no answer!?!?

I sent them an email so as soon as I find out I'll post up here :down:

tom32 - Mate I'd suggest driving down friday and staying that night so you get some rest before the day - it really is a long day driving there, racing, driving home all in one day!

Stay and have beers with us :P

Its now a race against time to have the SS running properly for Wakefield. Otherwise I may be on the sidelines watching...

Something is a miss, but have crossed all fingers and toes and hope it gets fixed within the next week or 2.... :bunny:

Hey Neil,

Will you be there? If so i want dibs on getting some more advice?

Ryan

I'm unsure at the moment Ryan and If i do make it no problems helping you out mate and that goes for everybody. :mellow::mellow::D

I wouldn't mind bringing my car down there and as Michele asked are open wheelers welcome?.

Now that might sound like a stupid question but we are both in very quick,,,low race cars with little protection.

Neiher of us would want to tangle with a 1400 + kilo tin top,,,we both still have a lot of living to do.

We would basically need our own group which would reduce everybody elses track time.

After saying that we proberly don't need as much track time per session and it might be a bit of fun,,,Michele and I could do some mini races,,, I'd realish some standing start practice.

So If that is un-exceptable,,,please say so,,,we'll still love you all in the morning but we will laugh at your lap times. :bunny::):)

Neil.

lol, Chris is checking with Wakie regarding the open wheelers will let guys know ASAP.

Wakefield won't have a problem with us,,,It's what you guys decide.

Michele and I have already done track days there and I've done a supersprint as well.

Neil.

Neil cough exec section cough lol

:D

Damn Chris - whats up with the VZ?

Not going to assume too much at the moment..

Took it for a tune and OTRCAI and straight away it wouldn't pull 238 like last time..Its refusing to go past 224, and revline has dropped 4-500rpm..So what have i changed since last dyno run?fuel and tyres. Could this be whats wrong? Maybe and a big possibility.

But, it may also be valve springs. Hoping to have it back at the mechanic saturday week for a new dyno run after i get rid of the Vpower and fill it up with what i used last time and will put the old tyres back on..Failing that, valve sprins will be checked and replaced with either 918's or 921's the same day or shortly after...

So if anyone wants a lift anywhere this weekend call me, and I will be your taxi service :) Need to go through lots of fuel... :)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
