OK enough of that. Any more carry on will receive a warning.

Mark, sorry to see what happened, would have been great to see 2 leading skylines runs together. But as they say, "that's racing"..... I guess new shell will be easier than fixing since it is all triple skin back there, and shells are cheap.

x100, sorry to see. I saw the car running on saturday when I was down toward the end, and my oh my, she looked the goods ;)

I guess you an at least be thankful you managed to keep the front end off the wall, would have been a total disaster if she copped that hit in the nose!

thanks for the support guys...we have looked at the data and the front wheels were off the ground in first and 2nd gear hence the sharp turn to the left when the tyre landed...4wd is a nightmare...

car will be fixed in 2 to 3 weeks.. rear damadge is easy to fix...if it would have hit the front the car would have been a complete mess..right off..

our next event is on the 18th of sept at willowbank pro street shootout...we will be back ..

with all the data from the weekend we are very happy...except for the crash..ha ha

cheers, mark

Mark - great to hear your ok and the car isnt damaged to badly. It looked rather nasty, and sounded that way as well, but as you say rear damage is an easy repair in the right hands

I guess i may be sarting a rumor but i am sure i over heard one of the HTL team talking about leaving the car here and testing in Sydney.... would be awesome to see these 2 cars go head to head at some point in time soon :thumbsup:

Yeah its definitely staying, its over there to set the world record lower - that hasn't happened yet ;)

Also I believe they want to throw some street tyres on for lols and see if they can "adjust" that record as well while they have far stickier tracks to play with.

just got the log out of the car now...wheelspin and over rpm in 1st gear were the cause ...2nd gear went straight to 10500rpm on the shift... the axles are fine...

which basically means no slip in the clutch at all ..which softens the way the car gets down the track...

1.6 g impact into the wall at 50mph...oops..

car is being fixed this weekend should be finished next friday....

keep you guys posted...

Cool!

If there's any chance of advance notice of when it's going to be running some of us SAU guys could come up and watch :P

    • 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.
