Thanks, Paul, for organising this. Great afternoon, despite the glitsch at the beginning. By the way, I have just logged my phone out of your Hotmail account ... ... .... !!!!

You did want to order a year's supply of Viagra and to help that nice man in Nigeria with his $25,000,000, didn't you? :down:

Hopefully, the Pulsar will just have the two boys in it next time and won't have to work so hard ..... .... .... and I'll be in the R34!

That would be good.

Great to meet everyone again and some new faces too. I am glad it wasn't just me failing on the handbrake turns. It was much easier years ago in the UK on the ice, wet sand, anywhere slippy!

Cheers. :D

yea it was a great day cheers paul :) Next time ill definatly NOT have standard suspension cant beleive how much understeer it had :)

Don't be surprised about understeer from a Skyline. Changing the suspension won't change that completely. The straight six is a big lump up front, so any Skyline (particularly a GTR) is going to struggle on the skidpan/autokhana - slower into the corner works better, to an extent, because you get better turn in. If you get out onto Barbagallo, you will be able to practice trail braking, which helps the transfer of weight and the turn in - which is much harder to make effective on the skid pan.

In short, don't expect expensive suspension to deliver a solution to understeer - you need to drive it better as well! :P

(Spoken from bitter experience .... ... ... and still learning!)

Cheers. :laugh:

haha yea man i wasnt expecting it to fix it completly, just make it a bit better. the other thing that was killing me was the body roll, through some of the corners it would throw the weight further than i was expecting. but yes i do need to learn more about what its going to do which is why im going to all these days :laugh: cheers for feedback :P

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
