Hey guys

Just letting you all know that there will be an afternoon sprint session @ Queensland Raceway next Wednesday on the 23rd

If you have ever wanted to drive your car fast without the worries of getting a speeding ticket then you should come!

Costs are as follows

Entries $135.00

Late Entry Penalty $100.00

Annual AASA Clubman Licence $55.00

AASA Clubman Day Licence $20.00

Licence Application form must be attached

Helmet Hire (Deposit Required) $5.00

The Sprints are pretty safe! Your basicaly aiming for the best lap time you can do!

For those of you who dont know this is nothing like touring car racing, all cars have a gap between them with the idea being to let the faster car go past you

Would be good to see some other V35s out there other than my own! Im interested to see what times those of you in 6 speeds would pull

What time? How many laps you do, is it something you can do with daily 19" 245 / 285 tyres?

Sprint Check In 11.00am - Briefing 12.00pm - On Track 12.30pm

As for laps, Wednesday sprints are usually less busy than Saturday sprints

You normally get 5 hot laps there is also 1 warm up lap and 1 cool down lap in each session

Each group will normally get 4 sessions 3 timed ones and 1 un-timed one where you can take a passenger out

Yes you can take out your regular daily rims/rubber I did the 1st 4 times on those exact same sizes before I decided to take the plunge and buy some track rims/rubber

entry form can be found here

just make sure that you pay up before mondy to avoid the late fee\

Dunno if i can get it off work, when is the next wednesday?

Hey guys well seems none of you were able to make it today... Ill post up details of when the next one is so you all have more time to sort out work/ your cars

More PBs today

Got my Sprint time down to a 102.02 and probally would have gone faster in the 2nd session if it wasent for the fact that the owner of a supercharged 350Z asked if I would like to drive his car in the 2nd session :thumbsup: which was an offer I could not refuse.

Funny enough I did a faster time in my V35 than the supercharged Z but still managed to do a quicker time than its owner pulling a 102.89 over its owners 103.58

After driving the Z I so need to do an upgrade on my brakes... The Z was running brembos but with different discs, pads and braided lines. They just kept working weather it be the 1st lap or the last, unlinke my POS single piston calipers with slotted discs that one of them later cracked later on in the day. I changed pads to some QFM pads that were supposed to be as good as the Ferodo DS2500 however it felt like I was mashing my foot into a sponge by the 3rd lap!

Clubman time was a PB of 105.18 which was quicker than a BMW M3 coupe :)

Cracked rotor :*(

Didnt u already crack your rotor?

Cant help you with brembos but i got prices for stoptech front and back pads (130-140inc post), F + B braided stoptech lines (115-125 inc post), front and back stoptech slotted rotors (640 inc post) from what i remember

Will have to confirm but im wanting to combine postage.. I got my pads already, just wanting other stuff. Same with coilovers and camber kit, email me for info, i think 299 for front and 199 for rear (hard race) non-pillow joint so no squeek.

I want to do a track day but wondering if i should upgrade all my shit first...

I had some small surface cracks showing on the disc which arent a problem. However when the crack goes to the edge of the disc thats when its time to panic and get it changed ASAP!

My rear rotors and pads are fine "the front dose 80% of the work anyway." What would I be looking @ to get some front rotors? bare in mind that mine will be different to yours being poverty spec non brembo

I may as well get the braided lines to

Has Just jap sorted out the hard racing camber arms yet? Id be keen to get those on the car before the next track day

I allways think its good to take your car out as it is to set a benchmark. That way you can see that spending $$$$ on whatever shaved X seconds off your lap time which dosent make you feel as bad about spending the $$$$ :)

if its going to take 6 weeks I may have to give the front discs a miss as I need to change them ASAP before the cracked one explodes on me..... :rant: I am still keen for the braided lines however

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
