Not trying to bag the guy in the Colt but he was pushing it pretty hard all day, and through the esses my mate noticed that one of his rear wheels was continually off the ground. He was definately unlucky rolling it and no one deserves that but in the end at least he walked away relatively unharmed (from what I could see). The car looked awfully stiff with not much body roll at all, could have played a part in the accident.

(Vu - That's a bloody good pic mate, how's your timing!! :() Edit: or maybe it wasn't yours!! Whoevers it is, they did well! :thumbsup:

I didnt take the photo - its in the gsr evo thread, who ever took it did pretty damn well aye! and whoever took the photos of the shot by shot just as it happens chose a good time to start taking them shots!

Time to update your sig block Chad....1:20.94 Good work

Thanks mate, I thought that was you working on Munro's car but i wasn't sure. Like the last time attack my car ran awesome at first but then i started to get this really loud metal grinding kind of sound coming from my car when i put my foot on the clutch and put it in gear and was finding it hard to select gears. I was nearly ready to put the car on the trailer and end my day but we bleed the clutch fluid and i went out again and by the end of the day the noise was gone but i still had trouble choosing gears, so it looks like i'll have to take out the box and find out whats going on :( but apart from that i had a awesome day and i cant wait for the next one :happy: Well done the the GSR/EVO guys for putting on another awesome event :thumbsup:

Not good to hear Chad, looks like everyone had a great time though! Poor fella with the Colt, gotta feel sorry for him :thumbsup:

Especially since his track car will be finished very shortly (only just missed getting it ready for the TA) and that was his daily driver

Great day for sure :P

Excellent test of our new boost mapping for the R35 GTR ECU with both cars strongly in the 1.15 zone

and also a pleasing result out of the EVO X with a 1.18 second lap

Still good old RH9 was the best sounding car out there I think..... :(

Thanks guys :/ I've got some more footage of a few other cars to edit and i'll post them up in the next day or 2

Well done with the event Tristan, you and the rest of the guys who helped with the event need to be congratulated :)

I had an awesome day even with my car problems. All i wanted to do when i got out of the car was go and watch the other cars out there. That was one of the best mix of cars i've seen out on the track. I'll be at the next time attack for sure.

Where do I start? First up... toe in.. ha ha ha that killed me. I saw that Colt roll & it took everyone by surprise. I know it is good to get a bit of air but this guy excelled himself. Very bad luck.

I agree with you Martin. RH9 was the best sounding car. Steve drifting out of the esses into the start straight on full power was a sight to behold. I was wondering who was laying all the double black lines out of every corner - now I know. Looks like that front diff problem is still there!!!

Had a ball in my Race R33. Gratitude to James & Matt from Nisspeed who worked tirelessly to get the car ready & also to my brother Daniel for bringing the GTR out in his new trailer so I could drive the R35 out & have both cars there.

The R33 certainly is a handful (huge smoke cloud on 1st hard braking corner shows my inexperience) & we do have a few issues to sort through, but overall I am very happy with the car & looking forward to getting used to it & having some fun.

I am used to running nines in a straight line but hitting the brakes at the last minute, steering, & doing it all over again is a bit new to me so will take some practice!!!

I was very happy to get a 16.4 & a 16.6 out of the 7 hot laps that I did in the R33. After we decided to trailer the car due to a few minor issues (better to be on the safe side - I have had my share of broken engines!!!) the GSR/EVO guys very graciously let me run the R35 for 1 session & I was delighted with an 18, 2 x 17s, then the 15.8. My best time so far!

Fantastic day & cant wait for the next time.

According to the Motec data logging your fastest lap in the 33 was with the least amount of power. Another interesting fact is the car happily spun 27psi of boost, would love to see what it would be putting out now considering it made 824hp @ 22psi. Fun times ahead. James and I where looking at some more ARC goodies for you today.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
