So is my browser playing tricks on me or have the results not been posted?

I was looking forward to seeing how much I flogged all you Datsuns by. :touch:

speaking of Datsuns, i've been a little disappointed the last two DECA's with the amount of modern cars entered...

SAUVIC needs a serious injection of pre-1980 machinery :D

What are you bringing to the table Rob?

Interesting that none of my times were the fastest. Again it seems consistency and driving at 9/10's is the key to bagging points.

I'll have to make it in november to hold on to the championship!

Thanks Ryan for doing a top job with the results and to Mat for driving my car so well!

Well done guys! Faulless (from what I saw) run from Adam was very impressive, and Russ and Ryan was super smooth as always. Special mention to Matt though, killer effort in a car that's not your own!

I'll be back at the next one to try and redeem myself for the terrible performance put in this time around...

Have to agree with that...it's the little mistakes from going 100% that make for big losses in times. I had a mini-wang cone hit (5 second penalty) in the stopping gate, which is a massive time loss on the mini wang. Cost me 17 positions/points...

Thats very shit that the points I acquired this time round dont count toward the championship.

After all, its the driver that gets the points, not the car. Bit of a kick in the pants to go with the blown engine.

Thanks Russ and Dane, it was good fun driving something different! Russell your car is a weapon...I guess, go RB20 Powah...

Thats exactly why i like stop gates...it forces people to time their braking correctly or risk hitting the cone...anyone can floor it through a flying finish...but it takes practice to stop quickly and accurately in a gate...

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
