P.S. FEAR you are a psycho......

Nar thought the briefing said you brake the hardest when you get 3 so i waited to 3 before i started breaking lol and need to over take from time to time on the main straight.

Damn it Brad!!! How many engines now?

Give me your engine and I'll build it just like my 26, in my tiny shed!!!.....bulletproof style!

That was number 3, yer a tiny shed style sounds good lol if its only the bigend will not be too hard to fix(cross's fingers)

Brad are you serious?

Fkn hell!

Yer i think it left go thought the kink off the main straight hoply it will be fixed for S&S 09 or i will just trailer it there and put the other plates on i have been thinking of ordering.

You let someone drive your car who measures the success of their car by how many kms it goes for and has a current record of sixty-something kays?

Brave!

Yeah he did more K's in my car yesterday than his own in 2 months

His GTR is cursed.

Wow, top day fellas. Great to meet lots more people, and all the usual faces. Cheers to all the organisers and to Ando's driver tuition, thanks mate. Hope you made it home without pooing your pants......

Love the Grand Prix circuit, i was shit scared of the turn coming onto the straight, not a huge fan of walls! But i stayed clear of them all day so went home a happy man.

REALLY Looking forward to the next one, the Oran Park track is the best, so many changes of direction, great fun unsettling the car like that, groovy.

Commiserations to the fellas with engines that let go, hope you can get them sorted soon.

Blue EVO was driven by Daniel Caprar... An old racer from way back (Used to have an R33 GTR). Very talented driver, who isn't afraid of smashing ripple strips to chase those laptimes :D

Lap after lap after lap after lap after lap.......... Impressive to watch him attack the flip-flop !

My car didn't make it (drivetrain gremlins sabotaged my day), so I was puttering around in the red BMW...

lol.... So that was you ! I did a fair bit of flag marshalling just before the flip-flop and all was pretty boring until some bloke in red BMW went flying over the flip-flop into the big dipper. But instead of re-appearing on the start of the main straight, all I saw was a giant cloud of tyre smoke. Was the only time I got to wave the yellow flag frantically :P But don't worry, I won't tell anyone it was you :D:P

I believe that SAU have booked another OP day in October. Hopefully we have GP layout again. Much more fun than South Circuit...

100% agree !!

Absolutely awesome, I was in the newb patrol, and although the drivers briefing was long, I learned alot from it. Thanks to everyone at SAU for putting this on, I was pretty nervous, but after a few laps you get the groove of it. That beast R33 white machine was loco, well done. Heres a quick video I did up for the day!

Video of Todays Ownage.

SKYLINES---->Best f'ing cars in the world..................

P.S. FEAR you are a psycho......

Can I hire Tokyo Drift Girls to clean my engine bay next time?

Awesome video compilation mate, love the start music!!! HAHAHAHAh Thanks for posting it up, saw my car a few times in the vid, sweet!!!

So were you the one flag marshalling that I had to give the thumbs down to as I drove past with a massive big end knock?

I was tempted to drive with the hazards on, but the guy in the drivers brief said to ignore all indicators... LOL

So "that's" what the thumbs down was all about ! I wasn't sure what happened since I could'nt hear the knock. You just drove past slowly with the thumb pointed south. All I could do was give you a thumbs up in return because at least you were "driving" back to the pits :P Hope it's all fixed up soon !

As always, SAU track days are the hottest ticket in town (nearly as hot as Fatz butt crack!), plenty of lap time and shits n giggles. :P

Well done to all involved in getting this day organised and all the flag marshalls. :P

OK, that makes more sense. One of the times I was marshalling a whole bunch of people went past at the end of a session and gave the thumbs up and 1 car went by very slowly with a thumbs down, so I'm guessing you were'nt the only one with issues Matt.

Could you hear the knock as Matt went by Chris ?

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
