Sooo much fun!

Thanks to all for the hard work setting up and running the day..excellent job.

The only problem was it took too long to work out how to drive... with all the excitement/anticipation/adrenaline i completley forgot everything I ever knew (or at least, suspected) about important car controlly facts, like:

- understeer can't be cured with more throttle.

- car won't turn in while accelerating in 1st/2nd.

- foot off gas equals weight transfer onto front equals car go where fronts pointing.

- you can't do tight stuff without a handbrake. (actually I never new this one, but i got it now. My handbrakes a bit tired and rolly, mind)

just gotta work this stuff out the night BEFORE, not the night after.

Ian - Fantastic stuff! Thanks for the great shots of my my Great White Whale (hehe).

Are you going to be doing the Thursday run? Can I get you to bring GD2ILA photos on a USB or SD if you are?

Again - thanks a lot.

Yes on the Thumbdrive, no on this week as i'm heading to Canberra on the Saturday so i'm saving the money/fuel but I should be down next week.

Doof: Hotmail account or different email for the desktop pics?

lol, damn these boats and their horrid ability to tame the high seas! :laugh:

Something I learnt is that I need a dif, and I have to tighten up my handbrake something savage... It didn't do a damn thing!

I also need these things, VLSD is of teh ghey and last time I checked my hand brake shoes they had bugger all meat left (like so little I probably shouldn't have been using it at all on Saturday :D )

Group buy on Cusco 1.5 way and Project Mu drift shoes? ;)

hahah spot on. its hard to think while everything is going on! skidpans really show up understeeritis. You were killing it by afternoon but I saw some hge slides from the clubby on the tight track in the morning.

I actually had my front suspension on the softest setting to let it roll to get the weight transfer since we were at such low speeds. Of course then again my springs are very hard by street standards 8/10.

Like Doof said, big difference between stock suspension and aftermarket coilovers.

I just couldn't give evil weevil the satisfaction of a MXfail winning a Skylines Australia competition :D

Thats why I didnt turn up, give you a chance.

(no, I was working :D )

lol, at the difference in body roll :D

alot of different factors, looks of your photo you are about to straighten up but still got lock, on power, Matt is just gone into a turn with more speed, maybe a bit under brakes with ALOT of weight transfer!

what else have you done with yours doof? looks good!

and matt, hurry up and buy some suspension mods :D

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
