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.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
