The mrs got some vids of turn 12/13 on to the main straight. If only every day was a track day.

Spoke to you at Sandown on the 13th of October definately have

a nice R32 GTR there , the GT3 Porsche could just not keep up with you .

G'day good chatting. Hopefully catch you at the track in your own 32 soon!

Cheers - yeah the second time I got out which the second vid is from it stopped raining and the track started to dry out towards the end, times started to drop. Still wasn't enough to get a feel for how it will behave in the corners and under heavy braking but I will get there.

Got my eye on a Winton test n tune on Friday...

Hit Winton today - much better than Sunday, satisfied now.

Car held together well, have a few suspension changes I would like to make to start firming it up as the suspension is still very much Tarmac Rally orientated.

R32 ABS is also really annoying on the track, time for it to be deleted.

Best for the day was a 1:35.5 which I am very happy with for its first real outing.

Everyone loves the flames... but not sure I will enjoy having to clean this off each outing though... bring on E85

very nice driving Paul.

So pleased to see it's going well on the track.

I'm taking mine to QR next weekend :)

Yeah ABS is a pain on the track.

You must be spitting some pretty nasty flames to BBQ that rest lol

Really nice car - identical to mine except for the stripped interior, awesome paint work, exceptional cage, and a million other things. Although you need to beat this flamage for true glory! :yes:

Ha the boys were explaining it in similar dimensions so I may be able come close.

I saw your 32 years back in ashburton. Jealousy levels were high - you still get it out to the track ?

not for a couple of years, my wife opened a can of whoop ass when our third baby was born so it was back to racing bikes with all the other MAMILs. I will never sell it though, its awesome as you would appreciate with your beast. I'll sneak a track day here and there I hope.

Vid from Sandown yesterday, best for the day was a 1:20.4.

ABS unit still causing issues with the brakes, spongy / inconsistent so on a mission to remove that shortly along with some suspension tweaks to try clean up the braking. Also a bit of ducting for the radiator needed - yesterday after about 3 harder laps it would hit 100c water and 120c oil and sat there, add some ducting to force a bit of air through and I reckon it will be a very nice solution.

A bit of a brain fart at turn 11 deciding which gear to use and so still chasing that elusive Sandown teen, one more session would have been nice but a guy smashed his porsche. Should be an '18 in it with me driving after a few tweaks. Regardless this 32 is a whole lot of fun to drive :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
