January: do every race I can at Oran Park before it closes. Right now that is Irace on 14-15/1 and the final meet on 23-24/1. And give Neil a hand at the last state supersprint on 16/1.

March - Bathurst Sprint, Lake Mountain Sprint

November - National Supersprint in Qld (I thought it was QR, but maybe Morgan Park?). And whatever else I can do when I'm up there.

And as many rounds of NSW combined touring as I can

Santa bought me a new toy, looking to do as much as i can with it this year without going interstate

Australian Supersprint Championships are at Morgan Park, Nov 13-14.

Mick,,,seems you were a good boy last year,,,Santa has really looked after you. :D:D:D

Don't listen to the tin-tops,,,that thing is way cool. I swear before I'm too old to drive,,,my bums gonna be in a superkart,,,if only for a test. :banana:;):no:

Duncan,,,I booked the day off on friday for your irace,,,so you have me both days.

2010 plans for me are:-

1/ Get the Radical sorted properly

2/ Thrash the living shit out of it

3/ Do as many interstate stuff I can afford

4/ Start doing stuff in the Skyline,,,she's been wob-webbed for far too long

Neil.

With the Tas Super Series starting 14th Feb and my car looking like this with no money to rebuild........

Im guessing Round 3 in May is my best bet at this stage. I was looking to improve the car, not repair it!!

Im also thinking of droping a 351 into an XE falcon for some club days and then.......maybe!

But I have no money to do either at the moment so this year is not looking good.

mebbe....who has info on this??? why aren't we talking about it? I would prefer not to have to head to tassie to race. its expensive and the people there are scarey. like tim and ben

oh BTW my plans changed.

I killed my first motor for the year on the 16th day of it...new record.

At least I got to compete in the last race meet at Oran Park, and I set the fastest lap and was leading (until the motor blew lol)

Not sure if we'll be there or not. Would like to think so, as the roads around that area are fantastic and should suit the Evo 4 just nicely :thumbsup: and why arent we talking about it?!?!? :blush:

Other than that, will be at Targa for a crack at Rookie, a year on the dirt in the VCRS and the occasional trackday with the WRX club in Vic.

Tassie is still the shizz...just dont make eye contact with the locals.

Well done mate. Be proud.

I've got a perfectly good fully built low km long motor laying around if you are interested Dunc? I took my old motor out just before targa wrest point and put in a new one as we didnt have time to identify the problem (turns out it was just a cracked head so my old motor which had really just done Targa rookie and a couple of other little things is sitting around covered in plastic).

Oh - and I'm also planning to make High Country. I should hopefully have time back on my side by then!

If it turns out that way and you need a Nav, I know of a good lightweight one who would be available :thumbsup:

we can sence fear.

anyway i'm planning to put a last minuate entry in for rookie rally in the gtst. It'll be dependent on if the car is ready.

after that i'll run the running in the tas super series, and hopfully there will be some more invitational races

I just posted my hillclimb series registration.

And did a deal on a 180SX to transfer my gear into :D No more zip ties and tek screws! I guess the novelty factor of running a complet sh.tbox wore off...

well the first round of the hillclimb series is this weekend :D I only just got the new 180SX fired up for the first time on Saturday, and drove it for the first time yesterday, so I'll guess it will be another example of working till the wee hours of Friday night getting it ready. Its not exactly finished - ran out of time & money to get everything done, so to get it going in time for round 1 I had to swap back to the standard 4stud front hubs & brakes with borrowed wheels & tyres. Combine that with the suspension changes I made while swapping all the gear over from the old car and anything could happen this weekend! At least it will be out there to hopefully collect some points for the series. Looking forward to another run at Mt Cotton as I haven't been there since 2007 in the old Datto 1200.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
