I was only out there to test the half tuned Autronic SM4 because tuner and I want to see how well the cooling system cope with running max boost on the twin low mount turbo with minimal timing . I was only able to do 3-3.5 laps before oil temp got to 125C :P

Car had crappy old Toyo RA-1 and still has not been lowered properly since the defect clearance. I checked wheel alignment when I got home and it was all over the place. Front height was 360-370mm and rear was 380mm. God know what the toes were doing lol

I was told, I did a 58.5

It has been a while since I drove out there. It would be good to get things sorted and get some more practice with this car without chop and change to please Transport inspector or Lakeside residents :)

not sure how the wing went but 9k should work on his turn 6 apex imo :)

hehe the whole car needs a bit of TLC.

The old brake pads in my AP systems were off. A SS Commodore was able to out brake me on the day :P

I could not pull up on the 5th corner and by the time I got to the 6th the car was all over the place.

Been too busy this year. I will try to get it done after my final exam.

It should be fun next year :)

Sounds like it's time she lives on a trailer mate........

One of my kind mate lend me the 4wd and trailer for the weekend.

Yes so true, if you can't beat them then join them....no point arguing with the police.

I must admit I felt a lot more relax towing the car there than driving it on public road.

May be I am getting older :)

I will be on a lookout for a 4WD this summer. Is there any other hot deal for 4WD atm Marlin?

How did the wing go 9k?

haha classic. I am at work, getting distracted and misread your question.

The wing works well. It is not pleasant on the eye but makes the car more stable around turn 1 in the past.

I will go back to the factory spoiler in the next few months until my alignment is sorted again and then will reuse it.

sorry mate, I didnt hang around was on the way past so popped in.

I think I might consider plumbing in the screamer to get to lakeside...

anyone know any gossip for superlap style events there? :P

My car shouldnt be too long off but getting married in november so that has been slowing progress on the car a bit. :) Catch up soon guys

And Dan, if the wing works, it works looks dont matter :cool: ps - Have you considered getting a front undertray and rear defuuser to help set up a full aero package? There is some for sale in the business sellers section...

Moving to trailer queen was the best move I ever made btw! :) My daily is a navara. You should sell the s2000 ! :bunny:

Congrats and all the very best with the wedding prep Michael.

It will be good to see your beast out there again.

Now that I've decided to convert the GTR into a trailer queen, like your, she will undergo some cosmetic enhancements :)

It's been a long time tweaking her for power. It has enough power now, I will try to tweak the suspension next and don't want to use any extra assistance (wings or 4wd controller) until I am happy with the suspension setup. Hence I will go back to the factory wing. The ally wing really works, without it I would have been all over the place last weekend with my crappy alignment + tyres.

Moving to trailer queen was the best move I ever made btw! :bunny: My daily is a navara. You should sell the s2000 ! :P

Nah I still have plans for the s2k. It will get it place when the GTR doesn't use the hoist as much.

With full sound system + full trim + sound deadener everywhere + a 4 points cage it did 59 at QR sprint with the old engine :cool:

The engine is now stroked :)

It will be fun when I have time to remove around 200-300kg out of it.

As long as we won't get another Global Financial Crisis soon, I like to keep both.

I tried to trade in my C32 for a 4wd but could not get what I wanted so I've delayed it until end of year.

what is the deal with QR sprints and track only cars? I thought it was street rego only cars?

would like to take the 33 out there for sprints and top gear.

Sorry mate, I misread Marlin question regarding the wing and gave him a long winded answer on how I went lol

I was not out there to race. My tuner has been busy so he asked me to take it out there to test how the cooling system cope with 2 bars of boost with conservative timing. I was meant to be there for a couple of laps but had so much fun so hang around for a few more. Car is still registered with full interior and was pretty much how it passed QLD Transport except a slightly more aggressive cam dial, removed passenger seat, race exhaust, catch can and the head light.

Turbo was out of efficiency range, blowing hot air so I only had a few laps before the oil gets to 125C and I had to pit.

You should see some of the "street" cars out there. They had slicks, no interior bar a driver seat, steering wheel and some gauges to let the drivers know that the engines run lol

street cars are only in reference to the QR point score.

We often have race spec cars at the street sprints in out Track Attack Days.

That will be great to see Cameron.

Could you let me know when you come out?

The R33 that was there was very clean and nice.

yeah would be good to meet up with others out there, but I won't be able to bring it out till I come back from Japan around mid to late december.

cant wait to get back behind the wheel of it

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one...

As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
