Did Luke Heslo want a timer as well? I thought that he had his own

I do have my own Dale, but if it means the difference between hiring the gear or not I'll put my hand in my pocket :(

EDIT: You also forgot Heslo's +1

Well that's the 12 then.

There is one place available if someone wants lukes and he will use his own.

for those with iphones you can down load the GPS lap timer for a few dollars. Worst case it will be 1/10 of a second out, I'll be seeing how well it works this weekend so let me no if anyone wants feedback.

if you're talking about "trackday" i've got it on my phone but haven't had much success getting it to work yet. it took ages to register the starting point and then triggered laps at totally different parts of the track. perhaps the gps reception wasn't great - I'll try next time to get a better signal on the dash...

if its like last time (99% will be) its self-scrutineering. by signing the application form, you agree that your car is roadworthy and isnt going to dump 5L of Motul on turn 1. usually 3 groups of 20 mins each, slow med fast, you sort yourself into your own groups.by about lunch time, people with issues or those coming off early creates more space in each group, so there will be plenty of sessions with little to f**k all cars on the track, so dont sweat it if your not in your preferred group in the morning.

just make sure you wear or take a long sleeve cotton shirt with you, you can grab one from cotton on for $20, long pants, and your helmet. Fire extinguishers not required.

Hey guys, I cant wait for the day... have been so busy with work I havent driven my R35 in the

hills for over 8 weeks. Shame, shame, shame. That car should not be sitting in the shed.

Anyone want to charge the battery for me just let me know...............

As far as the R33 goes I have not driven that in 6 long months since last track day in October

so will be nice to re-introduce myself to the Holinger & give it a serve. Way too long between

drinks....(well, for the GTRs anyway - hic!)

Have just got my new 10.5" wide RE30s with new Michelin Slicks fitted so will be a great experience

to drive the car with more grip out of the corners - the yoko AO48s (3 track days old) were struggling'

to hang on out of corners so will be fun to be able to power out & get some good speed down early.

All AI need to do now is learn how to actually drive the car properly get used to braking!!!

I will drive the R35 out & give it a few goes as well, but not expecting great things as it has around

12000 hard kms on the original bridgestones & they will suffer after a few hot laps.

Unfortunately, it requires a different set of rims to the R33 so cant just swap over the slicks.

Hope the weather is just like today......

See you all there.

JM

Ps. I dont have a 12v outlet in the race GTR but would welcome the timing gear for a go

in the R35 if it is available for 1 or 2 sessions.

The Race GTR is still very much in testing mode so not too fussed about lap times.

Anyone want to charge the battery for me just let me know...............

If by 'charge the battery' you mean drive the car more regularly so that said battery maintains its change then I believe that we could come to an arrangement :(

    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
