If you own a Skyline then any attempt to get aero will odds on ruin the look of the car. (IMO) Just make it loud and move around on the track under power :(

If you want to go aero then buy a 180SX or an RX7, their styling looks cool when you go the whole hog with spoilers etc

Haven't had a chance to post it before....top work Russ :(

Awesome time :( and I want to see you repeat that at PI to see what you can wring out of it :/

Yeah the sweeping corners encourages me that I could get a 49-50 at PI with the current setup. :D

People have thought for a long time that I was on drugs for saying that a sub 1:50 should be a no brainer. NSW lad in his S14 did a 1:47 in shitty conditions and your EC time is within 1 second of his. I have long thought a 1:48 would be on the money for my car. Have only had the one run there with the wayward wheel alignment and old Bilsteins. Never got to run again with my Teins and half a clue of the gears i should be in. :(

So, you are in charge Russ, want to see sub 50s and you nibbling at the bum of all these GTRs :(

Yep.

Before the new setup too! Anyone know of PIARC or similar events at PI? I couldn't find it on their website :)

PIARC was on a couple of weeks ago, so wont be one for a while.

Circuit Familarisation and Superkart Races

July Island Sprint

by aero i meant front aero. my car has no front diffuser, no flat surface, nothing.

I you ran a 1.47 at EC a 1.48 should easily be on the card for your car at PI. It'll kind of make the gtrs look pretty bad if you can do it since they have an extra 50-120kw atw more than you and 4wd and they only lap one or two seconds quicker.

If I reinforce my boot/wing you should borrow it. Last time at PI it put some nice dints in it. Might help with a bit of rear end grip.

Hanging to try left foot break tap into turn 12 under power one day at PI. Think theres some time in it. Heard a supercar guy talking about it to transfer the weight foward for that turn. Sounds the go.

:P

I think my little wing is doing the job. It held really well on turn 1 at EC.

I would like to try the supercar one though!!!

I agree, its pretty easy to do there to in my car as its all 4th gear stuff. even up over the crest . A bit of left foot braking while balancing the loud pedal seems to work well through there.

Russ, if you want to do Dutton again this year!??! We will start having to make plans. Unless you are upgrading co-driver on me

Sorry I just read your post. I was thinking of giving it a miss this year and put the cash into my new build but if you're really keen you may be able to twist my arm...

Some in car vids of me from the event.

Good lap

Bad turn 1 and 2 haha

Troy Brisby = KEEN

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
