Just wanted to thank everyone who organised this event, and everyone who showed up. Had an awesome day! By the last session I ran in I'd done that many laps I ended up coming in a lap before the checkered flag was shown because I decided I'd had enough haha.

Eric, thanks for taking the time to post up that video, great coverage of most cars. Just glad when you had the cam on me (7:28) I hit the apex - phew:P

I was sure if I came off the track enough times at last I'd get 1 photo or video shot :O. Silver skylines never seem to attract the photos.

Took a few hours to edit and unfortunately lost a lost of quality in the recompress for youtube. Original is in 1080 HD.

Mighty effort Eric!

I was so glad to see nearly a full half minute of your car continuously too!

I'd hate to see you miss out on your own glory!

Who video'd you? That camera wk was good too btw...

Great vid Eric!

Well I just discovered a mobile phone in my car... and a watch in my handbag... so i scored well :P

haha nah I know the watch is Reece's - but if any of mine or Matt's passengers is missing a Nokia N71, lemme know!

OMG.... finished the pictures, just over 950 shots

Heres a celebratory pic! :P

Look for the person who has a phone nber called mum and ring it!

It's not moniques, and Duncs and Neil so far haven't claimed to have lost it, so check through your passenger list... :)

Specs on the car can be found on www.the-lowdown.com tomorrow night under 'Pages' then 'Builds'.

Looking forward to seeing the build. There was only 2 cars that went past me when 1 & 2 combined and yours was by far the fastest. Great looking car as well.

I do love the video posted that shows the sole time I overtook you though :(

I got confused and thought it was an off road driver training day :(

There were many many more that I'm sure Pezhead would have of me in the grass

Sorry for the late Thanks but here goes

Thanks to everyone who organised the day, especially Ando.

Thanks to all the people that helped out on the day as these things can't go ahead unless people sacrifice their day so thanks.

Thanks to Anna for being a great passenger and letting me experience some power on track, although those brakes didn't let me have a good attempt at times, I hope I did you proud anyway

And thanks for all of the Drivers and passengers that had fun and will do it again, cause it wouldn't be any fun if I couldn't scare some big power skylines in my Clio if you guys didn't rock up (and to all the guys who put me in place to)

Special Note to SpoonDC5, breaking 10's is motoring in an Evo or GTR, let alone in a FWD honda and also to the Evo driver that got 1.06.6 as I think that was fastest car of the Day, both of you put us Skyline owners in our place.

Good work to A20089, I'm glad to hear that my jabbering actually helped you in getting your PB. I was catching around the top but as soon as you could stretch your legs you got me.

I was pretty happy with my 1.13 but next time I'm going to try and crack into the 12's without mods hopefully and then I will pull some tricks out to keep the Honda boy's honest

Hope to see everyone at Texi, Revenge of the Clio's Reverse Gear

Please don't come to the next one....

I will have to spend money in order to keep up with a silly little french hatchback that just left the showroom... grrr

Haha, J/K, that's a damn quick car and you drove it awesomely. Were you driving for the epic FWD save coming out of the fish hook on one of the slow down laps? Hilarious!

Well, good news folks. I have Tenchi's photos, but there are so many it's going to take 2 DVD's! Yes, over 8 gigs of photos!

I'm going to be a burning fool this weekend. Will try to get them out as quick as possible.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
