Great pics mate, thanks for posting them up.

Lagwagon, haven't done much with the Datsun lately, been doing heaps with the GT-R instead, haven't driven it for a few months... Might try and give it a run in the evening sometime soon now that daylight savings is here. Would have been a bit of fun out there yesterday hehe

What a top day.....best $75 I've spent in a while :)

Well where do I start.....a big thank you to the organizers and volunteers of the event as it was very well run. There was a fair wait in between runs but that was a reflection of the quantity of cars rather than the runnings of the day as there were 70odd cars there.

It was my first time at the new morwell hillclimb and I must say that it looked a little daunting from the carpark...tight, technical in parts and huge elevation changes. I had heard the stories of cars having stacks on it and when I was introduced to 'oh sh1t' corner it all made sense and the tyre scars on the grass confirmed the stories :0 Despite this and the fact that something like an evo or well sorted wrx has the upper hand here the track proved to be a great place to hussle a GTR around :)

I started off taking it fairly easy with a first run of 1:04something but I was able to knock time off every pass with my last run resulting in a best of 58.50. Here are a couple of incar vids:

This is my 1:00.07 pass with a good drift moment 2 corners after 'oh sh1t':

1:00.07

This is my next pass at 59.51:

59.51

and the last one I captured (vid battery died for my run after this) with a little off track excursion ;) which resulted in a 58.68:

58.68

I did a 58.50 in my last run without the little off track excursion but I do feel that there is more time to be found esp if you have adjustable suspn.

Also thanks to Ryan (Belsil80) without our little battle in the arvo I doubt we would've pushed ourselves to get the times we did (check the results to see how close we were pass after pass) but you should've known that the GTR would neva loose in the end :(

Good pics so far big bird but I want to see some sideways action ;)

It was a great day, though I'm absolutely fried... first day in the sun has taken it's toll!

Great track though, can't wait to get the 180 out onto it. Will definately give me more confidence knowing I don't have to drive it to work on Monday :P

Top shots as well Jarrod, nice one.

Nick: Nasty weekend for you mate!

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
