great day and steep learning curve. Had an excellent time. Thanks to all who helped in the garage and also the seniors for their great advice. Would have been good to get someone in the car but after my turn 2 incidents i couldnt see many people would put their hand up.lol. Its good to know that the car will double for a lawn mower.

Gotta say thanks to EVERYONE who put this day together.

And I wish I were feeling as "uber" as everyone else, unfortunately, it's rebuild time... :(

I believe my car was first casualty of the day...

First session out was good, with Brad giving some handy tips.

Second session out, I was enjoying it, until it ended early with an injector wire coming off.

Third session out, I was having a ball, out there on my own, chasing two other cars around the circuit, up until around the 4th or 5th lap, where my engine decided to let loose a big end bearing...

Car was insanely fun, wheel spinning at 130KM/H down the main straight... :blink::) :)

Well wasn't that a shit hot day,,,I may have not driven but the smiles on all you lots faces put a smile on mine.

Abo,,,well done mate!!! as per usual.

To all you new guys,,,you all did yourselves proud. Nice driving girls and boys.

A pic of JP's car throwing flames would be cool.

Adrian!

I guess you didnt like my mx5?? :blink:

At least the 33 got a feature :) hahahaha

Matt and Brad - so sorry to hear guys, thats gotta suck :)

Hope its a quick and easy buil, nothing major.

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?

Hey All,

I had a great day. Big thanks to the organizers and helpers :) What a fun track! So we've got it again in August huh?

Scott, after you told my eyes off, they started behaving. Hopefully, next time they wont let you down :)

Marcus

PS> PICS! :blink:

Another big thanks to the organisers. Was really an awesome day.

Unfortunately brake issues meant i couldn't get more than 1 quick lap a session. Rears went at Wakie last month, looks like fronts have now gone also. When's the next track day? Third time lucky i guess.

A massive thanks to Paul (MADGTR) for both jumping in with me in the morning, and then taking me for a spin later on. Really appreciate it mate. Cannot believe the difference in the way your car pulled up on brakes, compared to mine.

Yeah a big thanks to the organisers and helpers today, you guys are the true performers cause all of this wouldn't happen without you. :)

We had an awesome day (apart from the little mishap after lunch involving an oil line which ended the day for us, curiously enough Duncan had just finished taking the car for a spin :) ) The car was incredible all day and even drove onto the trailer which was is always a bonus (who said RB's aren't reliable?)

Glad to hear everyone had a ball and hope to see you all at the next one. :blink:

awesome day guys.......and thanks for letting an EVO out on the track (especially a slow one like mine ;) - i know I didn't do the EVO's any justice!!! ), apologies to anyone in my session if i held you up AND A MASSIVE thanks to Chris for taking me out in his crazy MX5... mate you drive that thing like a mad man..very inspiring, :P that's what i should do, i.e grow some bigger balls and then drive like that :cool:

    • 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
