from last weekend's Street Sprints. new PB for the car 1:00.79. I think the lap in the video is a 1:00.89 if I got the right lap from the right session. Might inspire some of you southerners to come up here for a drive of the fastest track in the country.

Ben, appaently it flooded down there with all that rain we had on Easter Monday.

Thanks Roy. The walls are a bit close in places, but it really is a great fun track to drive with the elevation changes, camber crests on corner exits and the high average speed.

Mick, it was actualy the first track I ever drove on. you'll be alright if you treat the place with respect and learn the track before pushing too hard. It scarred the crap out of me first time I drove there...

I find when you look at footage of tracks its very different to when you are driving. I bet you dont even notice the walls etc when you are driving or the bumps. I know as a passenger you notice it all...but driving... you seem to zone out.

Will make it to Lakesie one day, Mallala is going to happen before that though

Ah, Lakeside one of my all time favourite tracks. The last time I raced there was 1981, the trophy is still on the shelf, needs polishing though. Shoot, I feel old just thinking about how long ago that was. Gotta get back there next year, it's on the list.

Cheers

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
