Thanks alot to everyone for the wonderful day, and a special thanks to all the officials and marshals for helping out and making this day possible.

Another big thanks to Dave, Adrian, Eric, Mel and Zane for letting me have fun after doing my bearing's

BTW I didn't make it home, I made it to pheasents nest before I had to stop and get a car trailer :D

Sensational work with the pics Matty and all the other fellas too, legends!

Also if anyone has any more videos, love to see some more. Also if anyone has any videos, or clips of my car, Black R33 with GTR Wing and different rims on front and back, i'd love to see some outside footage of my car..... cheers!

That's a fair bit closer than where we were though!

Did it seize?

it's so true... i was a strapping young lad who treated his car well before this.... pffffthahahah ohh i almost kept a straight face.

but yeah, once you pop you can't stop!

OMG last night I saw in a video that my car lifts the rear tyre under hard braking and turn in! I thought it handled pretty flat but Matty caught it on film - looks like at least 40mm under there :D

Looks like time for some roll bars, it's about the only thing not done to the suspension.

I do have a number of videos that I tried to shoot between my runs (thanks to all those folks who let me jump back into the queue). It'll take me a while to edit/recompress them as I'm shooting HD these days.

It seems my car is quite popular with the photographers :D

Good job to everyone that helped out throughout the day.. I was happy to throw you my keys so you at least had a bit of fun so anytime Steve-o, Matt, Reece. Just remember to put the clutch back in before trying 1st gear aye steve-o :)

When I drive it, it felt like it was strugling to put the power down at the rear when doing the 180 turns. Felt like I had the clutch in when trying to accelerate.

Thanks once again for the drive!!! I love your car!!!

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
