If you want to try for a group booking, Rebecca, Mark and I will come - I deliberately didn't put my name down earlier because I didn't want to clash with a race/track day.

BTW fastest time of day yesterday at Oran Park in the GTR, but sh!t my muscles are sore today after 200km of racing.

Ok we're booked for 10. maximum per race. Please everyone show up :P as they'll refuse anyone else now that might want to race with us.

Need to show up 1:45 to do the formalities etc, ie pay and sign the disclaimer, on the track at 2pm, for 10 min race, then the other group gets a go, and we have a race after, 3pm onwards is open atm if we want more races, but that may change come sunday.

Was heaps of fun, wish i could of been there for the first session to kick marks arse but hey there is always next time.

I dont think reece should be aloud to have number 9 next time its to unfair, i think next time we put him in the slowest then if he starts beating us its our own falt.

Dam you mark cutting me off :(

Yeah I had fun as well, wouldn't mind having a go again, but not straight away, When people start getting the itch again so to speak, post it up and I'd be up for another. Do people think two races were enough? Or next time do you want more?

Sorry thomas btw for you and reece missing the first race, didn't check my mobile until later, and we had to go on at 2pm as the other party was set to go at 2:15 or so.

Was funny to see the kids knock the wheel off one of the karts with all their hits lol.

    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD. 
    • The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.
    • Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.
