my first day back at Lakeside since crashing almost 5 months ago, so of course it had to rain! I had the boost down to 10psi instead of the usual 16, and the wing and splitter removed so the car's back to normal.

To be honest I didn't mind the rain at the start - there was absolutely no pressure to go fast, just ease back into it. And I've always liked driving in the wet - so rare we get a chance to in QLD. Here's a couple of laps from the first wet session. Vid makes it look like just tippy-toeing around, but the next nearest car was 7 sec a lap slower.

The rain stopped for the rest of the day but it was very overcast and humid so it took till the last session for the track to dry completely. So we got a full range of conditions over the day which was something a bit different from the normal sprint event. My 60.2 in the last session was just fast enough to beat a mate's 250rwbhp 240Z for fastest on the day by less than 2tenths. Good fun!

That is why I use a QSTARZ BT-Q1000XT

We've now got the updated version. It now records at 10Hz instead of 5Hz and comes with new Ver 3.0 software with more features.

Qstarz is also releasing a 10Hz GPS lap timer with a colour screen and 2GB storage.

Group buy anyone? PM Me.

That really sucks big time, what happened? In the video someone mentioned driveshaft?

Yeah left driveshaft. Easy fix really... Lucky it was the last run of the 2 day event!

anyone want to buy a 180SX? I think I need an RB20DET R32!

Do it!

It is sounding a little off at the moment. It has got an exhaust leak somewhere....will be mega pissed off if the 6boost manifold is warped or cracked. Everything is tight and looks ok so need to have a look over xmas

That's what happened last time I went to PI. Manifold wasn't flat on the turbo face and the head face. Machined them and good as gold. No issues since.

Hi thought I would share what my year in the WA LF Performance Speed Event Series was like last year in video. Only the mistakes I made are in this short video for a laugh.

Enjoy the short video.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
