Anyone going to be in Sydney on Sunday that wants something interesting to do?

My pitb!tch is racing as well and is starting to worry about the little things... like getting me harnessed in, tyre pressures, fuels and anything unexpected which may come along - so I was wondering if anyone was interested in lending a hand on Sunday at Eastern Creek at the NSW Supersprint Championships?

Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers

Michele

PS I posted in NSW forum, but no takers yet.

Ill be in syd Sat night...If i can find somewhere to stay ill be happy to help out.

That would be great, let me know how you go, we're in the camper, not sure you would want to bunk up so close and personal with us... Jeno/Tarmac might get jealous of Mark cos they are like this --> 0

How did the family go?

Michele came 2nd outright which was a great result for her second look at the track and her highest gear was a 4th gear, not to mention the clutch problem isn't resolved - I think I ended up 20th, results are up on Natsoft. Car was good but VERY taily, something I hadn't noticed before this week was that the front sway bar has been removed, which might explain a few things. Looking at solutions for that now as the extended sump is possibly the reason it was removed in the first place.

Some funny footage of me trying to drive this thing :)

good stuff guys, congats to Michele!

looks like some mad understeer followed by snap over, but its a gtr so meh.

maybe some better tyres? is there a 4wd controller onboard, time to invest?

Brand new Yokohama A050's. We're not sure if the Motec is running the 4wd or not at this stage. It has a lot of potential, but still needs a lot to do.

Yeah great effort Michelle. And 20th isn't bad considering a brand new car and the others on the track looked considerably modified..

Thanks John, I thought he went well too, new car/new track. I always start a new track in safe (granny) mode lol

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
