What an event - I had an awesome time - Should be on Speedweek soon and now I understand what Michele means when she says that somehow IQ drops to -10 once a camera and microphone is stuck in your face.

The picture in picture is incar footage from the EVO car number 455 which you catch a glimpse of at around turn three (orange wheels)

Words cannot describe the fun I had :P:wave::D

My best time on the day was 1.44, so starting to sort the car out.

The problem was with the 4wd, there wasn't any... fixed now, but still needs a lot of tweaking as to how/when the 4wd comes in. A company I wont mention on here, who NO LONGER has stickers on my car because they REFUSED to tell us how THEY had 'changed' the way 4wd was working on this car, unless I took it to their friend in Sydney and got their friend to phone them when it was on the dyno. Fortunately, his friend in Sydney is better than that and it didn't need to get on the dyno to fix the problem. I eventually found the main problem after wasting a lot of unnessessary time... it needed a fuse in the bastardised system they had put into it to run 4wd. So I intend to upgrade the system that is running the 4wd so its 1) not constant 2) varies to degree of cornering and pressures. At the moment, its like having a switch on your dash, either ON or OFF, not the best setup at all, but fixable.

You think you messed yourself now? Wait until you do it... and this is one event you could do, come around and see me for more details on how you enter and see the footage of when I pulled into the garage, then you will know how much fun it was lmao

Looks like great fun. 1st in class?? who didn't you overtake.

I didn't overtake the Mosler MT900RGT3... but then... he didn't overtake me either in the handicap, he was right behind me for over a lap, I thought for sure he would take me LOL I was pretty chuffed when he didn't get me.

That's not a car behind you, it a space fighter :P

I don't want to do the bonnet pins look for my car, but I'd love to get into a race like this. Upgrades are approved, so in a few months I'll be getting some track based suspension. Still will need the real engine upgrades to keep it 100% safe for the motor.

Guess I could already buy a car with suspension and engine work.

They didn't set it up for rwd, the fuse went in the system they put in to manage 4wd, just took me a while to find it.

Give Michele a call, I know she was trying to get you to let you know it was open. We are camping at Mcphilamy Park again.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them

      There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?

      Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
