not at QR. I just can't get excited about that place at all. I've been there 5 times in the last 5 years and that's more than enough paperslip action for me.

I can see where your coming from, We will do a few at lakeside aswell.

A good day out with mates at a not so brilliant track is still better than a great day at work though!

Hence QR is alright by me!

Noise restrictions also stop the GTR coming out at lakeside. We will take the Evo though.

See you @ Lakeside then sometime!

Looking forward to doing some runs on the QR Sprint circuit again, its fun and there is a bit to it. Yeh sure a well driven big power car will be hard to beat but whats new? Sprint circuit has a few places where time can be gained, a few tricks, its just that Lakeside is so in-your-face-balls-out its easy to say pffft to QR.

Anyway I'll be doing both, can't wait :D

To each their own I guess. If a place is not fast enough so you can at least have a bit of a blast in fourth gear (3.9 diff) with a high speed corner or two thrown in then its of no interest to me, for all its faults QR qualifies in that regard. Of course Lakeside is faster and more challenging, Philip Island would be even better I imagine.

I don't rate a track by what gear I can get into or even what speed the corners are, just how interesting and challenging they are. I'm happier at Mt Cotton where you barely get out of second gear, but the corners are a real challenge!

Hey guys it would be fantastic if you lot could keep us cockroaches informed about dates and stuff. Duncan and I want to pop up there next year and have a play. Supersprints and Hillclimbs ect are what we are after. I beleive the Aussie Hillclimb champs are up there this year as well as the Aussie Supersprints. I personally would love some practice.

Cheers

Neil.

I'm pretty keen to come down there for a play at both Lakeside and Qr this year cause I haven't drivin on either. Went to power cruise at Qr once but it was lame. I need to find a week where i can have a run at both within a couple of days of each other so I can make the most of the 3600km round trip. Any sugestions......?

Marlin, you've heard how loud my car is....do you reckon it'd be ok at lakeside with the noise restrictions?

^^ ditto for me

Hey Gervase,

I thought you might be doing lakeside on the 8th?

Do you think the car is too loud?

Looking forward to Qr this time around, might finally be able to pull the thing through the corners instead

of looking like im in a drift comp! the car has always had a HKS torque splitter that we hadnt used until

practise a few weeks ago, what a difference!

Hey Paul,

Look forward to seeing the 35 out again. Looked very good out there last time.

atm mine is definitely too loud though its something i want to get on top of as I'd love to do some laps around lakeside.

I have a HKS Torque controller as well, but i havent had too much of a chance to play with it. I turned it on once but didnt really like how the car felt.. maybe need to give it more time and adjust driving style to suit.

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

      I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
