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

Gary

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
