We have just got in from Perth having been guests of JPC and Northside Nissan at one of their GTR Experience Track Days. Even though the weather was a bit grumpy there were over a dozen new R35s out there getting on the challenging Barbagallo blacktop for the first time. Both myself and Keir want to thank Nathan and Danny for letting us drive their superbly modified GTR on what would have to be one of the most technical tracks in the country. It certainly was a blast!

In mutual admiration I want to thank Martin and Keir from Willall for coming to Perth and sharing the love and teaching us a thing or two about making the GTR go harder for longer. Danny needed the help with the harder for longer that is for sure. Danny also reclaimed his rib eating title in my absence and brought and a few young girls to the point of chundering in a drift car.

A great couple of days - thanks boys

here are some more pics from a recent GTR Owners Track Day run by Northside Nissan here in Perth. It is a credit to the Dealer principal here who has the passion and the understanding to know his product and his market.

You will notice that the wheels sit out a bit wider and fill the guards a bit better on the JPC GTR as we spaced it out a bit for the track day to try something different. It also looks a bit lower with the Mines Eibach Springs.

You will notice that there are cars lined up for drags and LCT testing. Much fun was had by all.

Loving the car.

Thanks to Willall Racing the JPC GTR has just had a few more upgrades.

We have changed out the standard Transmission Fluid for the Willall Racing fluid. Also installed the Willall Racing High Volume Sump. Now takes close on 8 litres of oil. My past experience with GTR's suggests that this will be one of the best improvements that I will make to the car.

I have attached a pic of the Cobb accessport that we will start playing with. Hopefully we will use it to lean out the safe tune that is in the Mines Type X ECU in the car now.

Loving the car

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
