Some fun stuff from the weekend

And a bit of a moment ...

[Beer Baron]

very nice. watching you twirl that momo like a young mark webber gets me all hot under teh collar...

have to go out to lunch now. good to see the car still trying to kill you too like most good R32s do!

[phunky_monkey]

That's some serious rear brake locking! What rear calipers are you running? Stoptechs on the front?

Sounds nice

[Roy]

Yeh, figured people spend too much money on getting their cars to handle and be boring. The Stoptechs are in a box atr Racepace, so std fronts with R33 Brembo rears with good pads in back, rubbish in front Keeps you on your toes

[phunky_monkey]

Haha no wonder you were having issues!

You're a ballsy man...

[ssxRicho]

The momo wheel is mesmerising.

Not a skyline but is a car that i get to drive from time to time. My Skyline was entered but just refused to go to this one.... So with some negotiation I got to take the cop car for a spin. I also wanted to show you guys the fastest and most open Street Sprint we have up here. The track is in the sleepy little town of Oakey, just over 1 hour from Warwick, just west of Toowoomba. Craig weston pulled 2nd outright in his 32gtr from Ray Vandacey's Skelta, 3rd was a 351 escort sportsedan, 4th datto 1200 2A closed sports with a turbo & supercharged 4A, 5th a GT2 porsche, 6th My cop car on all nissan suspension, 7th Jason Black Nc BDA escort, 8th supercart, 9th Evil 4, 10th Off chops WRX. We did ok.

Haha, thats cool

Mingay was trying to get me there but I had no car to run.

Might as well post some of my in car from PI a few weeks ago....

First is my new PB lap....the fist pump at the start finish line at the start of the lap was when I saw a high 47 flash up on my previous lap

and this is a collection of some overtaking. First part is me trying to overtake a big single turbo R34 down the straight only to be passed like I was standing still by a 6.6ltr V8 powered 260Z ....middle part is me catching and passing a GT3 cup car and last part is an ex(?)-V8 supercar - we came out of the last corner side by side only for him to pull away down the straight using ubber killerwasps. Two corners later his lead disppeared thanks to corner speed and I was able to overtake.

Enjoy

Posted this elsewhere but thought I would throw it in here...

Paul Stokell in my car at QR on the sprint track (yes I can hear the yawns already lol)

53.48 with some casual water in the dipper and on crusty old second hand slicks

my favourite part is Paul's inside manoeuvre at Turn 1 (4:55)

I managed a 53.9 today, dry track (crusty second hand slicks also) and not that pretty a lap. caught myself out braking too deep into turn 5 whilst watched Aaron Hodges in his crazy Escort park it in the dirt at the hairpin of turn 6 (1:45-1:50)

nice driving !

looks like the official timing was incorrect once again, listing your best as a 54.3 here

really lame considering the money we pay that they cant even time us within half a second.

[handbrake]

yeah, all my Vbox timed laps are usually 0.3 - 0.5 off the QR system. But I don't get too upset as I assume everyone gets the same error, as long as the error is in the same direction!

not sure though how this works for accumulated laps though. imagine 0.5sec over 5-10 laps..... QR must be able to bend the space/time continuum.

I posted my Vbox times though as this is what I compare to Paul's benchmark.

The S7 Michelin compound we used today was second hand and went off in the arvo session like you wouldnt believe. Arvo session times were over a second a lap down on the morning session despite some cleaner driver.

nice work mate. looks like you must be punching out somewhere between 250 and 300awkw? not sure if the cup car was a 997 or 996 but the 996s only have high 200s (anywhere from 260-290kw) at the rears but they are a bit lighter than us but still the way it pulled away on the straight makes it look like you're doing a lot with what you have.

how fking quick was that zed too!!! he must have pushed the warp speed pedal next to the accelerator...

Thanks Baron and you are spot on re the firepower - last dynoed between 270-280 rwkw at Racepace (have to dig out the print to be sure) mid year. Entry list doesn't specify year of cup car so would have to check photos to work out the year - at the end of the day I'm just happy to put in a faster time than a cup car on slicks even if it is just driver related

As for the zed, a quick internet search has rumours of the 6.6litre V8 under the hood being an ex nascar engine pumping out around 700hp

[boxheadmr]

ant, well done on the time. Love the fist pump!!!

1.42 for the old datsun is smoking.

[phunky_monkey]

It was a 996 Cup Car guys

[Ant97GTR]

It was a 996 Cup Car guys

LOL I had a feeling you might have all the answers mate

[Beer Baron]

yeah I thought 996 cup car too. but they are still bullshit quick. like I said pretty limited in the power stakes (similar to your GTR ant) but with a purpose built motorsport chassis (chassis is built with cage integrated from the factory), much lighter and of course slicks etc. I have driven one and they are a serious piece of gear.

[evil_weevil]
