Oh come on dude, no excuses. I'll be entering in a stock auto GT-T - we can be GT-T buddies. If you don't drive I'll be dissapointed.

lol Juliette i actually did start thinking about putting the car in but the following thigs are stopping me

fire extinguisher = have that but not installed so no biggy really

tires = dont want to run on the 19's and even if i did i have little to no tread at all for the rears and the fronts are a shocking cheapo brand so i dont trust them. will have better treads for the next rund

brakes = my front rotors are warped so under hard braking they shudder

clutch = slips under heavy load from 4000rpm up

so ye all this will be done for the next round if there will be so will do it then.

but still coming to spectate and take a heap of pics and vids :)

also if you have a helmet and long sleeve and all can you ride shot gun in a car on the track??? would love to get some incar footage plus be good time to learn some things on the track while watching one of your guys drive.

Also - the battery triangle - would I be able to use blue Painters Tape instead of duct or electrical tape? It won't hurt my paint and I have that at home.

as long as it sticks to the car, its blue, and you can make a triangle out of it, it'l be fine :)

for those who are interested, entry list is up...

+1 for slow group :)

Hmm ok

well no point going if I don't get lap times

soo slow group it is

fun and games for all

Would anyone be offended if I rocked up in my stock line? Can I please be placed in the really, really slow pack?

Edit: just had a read. So I'll need a fire extinguisher, secondary bonnet catch and battery triangle - am I missing anything? :down:

you could, but i wouldnt. if the wind catches it, it will take off.

if you want you can usually pick up the proper blue triangle stickers from any good race suplies outlet eg. concept racegear or merridian motorsports. they are $2... :P

can i just say that for all you begginer guys in stock cars

be fricken carefull breaks dont work after one hard lap thats number one cause even the slow groups are pretty dam fast

(the last "slow" group i was in was the SAU group and the other boys were doing like 1.30's 1.40's)

i ran my car and its not standard at all around the 230kw mark apart from breaks and cheapo tyres and after a lap i was worried.

but that was on a wet track so i was pretty much treating it like a drift day

anyway i ran like 1.50's and higher and now i know that stock breaks ect dont suit a race track at all

also driver training sucks they drive your car and try to teach you the "race lines"

who doesnt know how to take a corner fast????

most of you wont like the training and you learn more just driving and watching others fly past you at 200km+ per hour down the back straight anyway

just my 2 cents

ill probably come and have a look but i wont be entering my car

till ive done a few more tweaks and thats just so i can stay safe on that track

I won't be pushing it 100%. I've done Sandown a few times (not in the Skyline) so I certainly appreciate that it's heavy on brakes. Plus my car's stock as a rock and average Jap street tyres aren't really going to help my cause :P

LOL, really? I have done driver training plenty of times and i always learn something from people teaching me. Its like a golf coach, we all know how we should be swinging the club, but the faults are only obvious to those watching.

I will also add i have been in the passenger seat a lot doing Driver Training and i can honestly say, whilst i am no pro instructor, i feel i have been able to help every person. What is scary is the number of people that have no clue how to brake and get back through the gears and get into a corner.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
