haha yep...I was complaining because my lap timer showed 1.07.00...wished I had cracked the 1.06s. Turns out natsoft says I did.....if it's on the internet it must be true :D I am stoked with that time it is a fair bit quicker than my last best.....those Federal FZ201 are a good thing :D

Thanks to Steve and Shell for standing at the flag point all day, and to Aggrodave for organising all the entrants.

Very sorry to see what happened to Eric's car, and I hope both you and Reece pull up OK. That was by far the worst incident I have seen at one of our track days - I hope everything is sorted out at minimal cost

Great to meet up with Dave > then Dean 'n Jeremy > BenM who talked me thru' the circuit > great buzz.

Then there's Sid (Yay), Steve-0, Mark, Patrick, Brian, Neil, Nick, Shell, Eric, Duncan, Ben, Buz, Matt, Kory, Matt, and others that are testing my premature dementia who offered support eh?

If you Eric can PM me with the dialogue between you and that jerk driving Dan Mackie's car > I'd like to make contact with Simon Mackie, Dan's dad and see if some moral backbone can spike that dude's conscience!

I've received heresay reports only, and I don't want to act on those alone.

Had a great day out and cant wait for the next one. Did a 1:17.1 so thats ok,but still lots of room to improve. Bring on May!

We'll look at class points shortly and let everyone know.

Shell: I'm not sure if you have spoken to eric about a couple of those shots in your facebook link but if he isnt aware of them it's probably not a good idea to post them. Depends on how he is handling it i guess.

Would be nice if old mate in the 300 offered to replace the fire extinguishers another bloke and I emptied under his bonnet. His car would have been in an even worse state without it.

Eric's a friend in person and also on my facebook so if he has a problem with the couple of pics on the flatbed, I'm sure he'll tell me :)

I dont really know him just looking out for him - he seems like a good guy. Speaking vaugely about something is one thing but pics become a massive issue if insurance gets involved and if a bunch of people are posting them up it can have consequences :cheers:

The whole incident happened right in front of me and im still struggling to work out how he got it so wrong.

Unless you have spoken to the driver involved it's pretty poor form to post pics of an incident.

Not sure if that was aimed at me, but it was a public event at a public racetrack and sh!t happens. But removed it out of courtesy anyway...

    • Does the old one line up OK if you try to put it back in? In the 32 (different geometry) it is hard to reinsert the ball joint with the sway bar and spring attached. But ultimately.....this wouldn't be the first aftermarket part that is not right....
    • Yep and yep ! Every time I now take out the R33 I get a lot of thumbs up as well, and my car was also a daily until last year. Still get people coming up and asking about it. A while ago the most memorable being a V8 commodore driver who approached me in the bunnings carpark and asked me why the were so fast and what kind of V8 it had in it. Couldn't resist and told him they were only a straight six the same capacity as the 161 red motor. The look on his face was legendry. However the shine has gone off cause as well as the appreciation there is now a lot of harassment from other drivers in there VW/Nline/Ae86 with body kits or whatever the hell they are, while all I want to do is cruise.( well sort of drive with spirt ) I always try and get the hell away from them by driving slow, putting on my lawn bowling hat and leaning over the steering wheel to look as old fart as possible.
    • There really isn't enough to help remotely....the nav screen likely takes it's visual feed from another unit that is not plugged in properly now (that is how the cima worked at least). Sounds like at least the reverse cam works. It is a possibility the screen is dead of course, minor knock while it was apart. I had to replace the Cima screen because it would not display anything in the morning when below 0.  
    • Yeah, I get that. I try to be as cost-efficient as possible with cars, and typically prefer to buy them at the bottom of their depreciation curve. I was looking at those Bilsteins too as they're roughly in the same price bracket as the BC's - lack of adjustability and being soft put me off, not that I want anything too hard. That's my issue with the Skyline, it's too expensive and it's reflected in my driving. I don't mind going full pelt as long as there's a gravel trap to catch me. Really, proper safety equipment is needed for total confidence. Well this just turned up for the BMW. I'll try and get the front together tomorrow and take some pics of the absolutely horrid rear end; perhaps I'll have a crack at the rear on Wednesday. I need to make the car drivable before the weekend as I'll be driving it over to London.
