well I do try :ermm:

you free tomoz morning mate, I can cruise down and have a geez.

noobs already get f**k all runs, now with all in a single file its gonna be f**ked.

i never did tandems so im not fussed about that, i just used to go to the front as if to run someone, but either go way ahead of them of well behind, just to avoid lining up

someone

what the f**k is with this no tandem shit im reading?

links?

it's just for the newbie group, as i said on NS, if ur good enough to be tandeming ur good enough to be in group 1 so i dont see how its really going to effect most people, just the guys who go out in bashers without much skill and do sketchy tandems (which will be sad to see go, so much entertainment lol). unfortunately being in Aus, every crash takes a toll on our sport, anyone on the sidelines would have seen what was pretty f**king hektik out on the track last time. if we continue having sketchiness like that, cams will crack down on us.

my proposal is we need flaggers on corner 1, but unfortunately that costs $$. what was happening there was a very serious risk, even i will admit that, people sitting stationary on turn 1, while people fly in at over 90k's, a good T-bone at decent speeds will kill you, if not leave u very immobile. this is a risk with tandems, especially newbie tandems, but it's mostly a risk with people simply coming in and not paying attention, which 90% of the time is what happens.

they're like police/gov tho, it's only worth improving safety if it doesnt cost anything.

realistically there should be 3 groups, and improved communication/efficiency.

a newbie group for those that have only been out a few times, no tandems, no inflated ego's, just a session for those who have bugger all confidence and dont wanna be out with the better guys who have the confidence, but not the skill.

a intermediate group, for those who have been out to a few days, have some confidence under their sleeve, but not that skilled yet. can tandem, no more than 2 cars tho.

then a advanced group, tandems, up to 4 cars together.

groups need to be released immediately after the last car in the previous group passes the pits, the car should be called over the radio so they know the last car in that group that needs to go through. if a tyre stack has been knocked over off the track, not an obstacle, then f**kING LEAVE IT.

I think you should propose this to clem? Saying it on a forum isn't going to get any action so take it to a higher authority.

Were the customers at the end of the day, he is running a business. Now that tailem bend is open - we have an alternative which isn't forcing us only to slide at Mallala. If you can see a way that clems fpos business can be run better I think it should be said. Wouldn't he want that, the more cars we can run through on a prac night, obviously the higher volume of people will keep returning because the wait times will drop drastically, and then that flamin mongrel gets more money too.

Tell that stingy flamin mongrel to reach into his deep pockets with his short fkn arms. Your word would have more credability surely Nisskid? I totally agree with everything you've said above

Ring him, chew his ear off, do it.

K, go! :)

This is why I really enjoyed D-School. All the boys were out there, they all had their walky's all over the track and they were consistantly letting another person go after the next bend simply because there was a few of them out there and the communication was great and the day went smoothly ALL DAY. Fkn hell Clem flamin mongrel, open your eyes and listen to your clientel

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
