So, you might be able to snare a spare 'access all areas' pass for a beloved SAU Admin? :ninja::D :D :D

I take it from your sig that the RB27 makes significantly more power now, than the 298rwkw figure from 2007 - given you have run an 11.24 pass. VERY impressive time indeed!!!!! Is that 2wd or 4wd?

HAHA, i wish i could get spare passes, i couldnt even get one for my wife when she went to the Gold Coast round last year with me.

Thanks for the comments about my car, but it still only makes just under the 300rwkw to run the 11, its all about the tyres.

Cheers

Wow that is an amazing time for that power level - with a 1.61 60' you must really hook it up! I know what you mean it is all about tyres .... back in 2003 I did a 12.74 110mph in my S15 and it only made 200rwkw - but it would do consistent 1.6-1.8 sec 60' times with decent street tyres - and it was my work car that I drove there and drove home at full weight.

That is one of the vids from the day,

Im the first car on there, with R33 with black bonnet and NUTR33 on the plates.

Hey Whiplash, what do you do with VodkaO, on one of the teams or an organiser?

i will be in a fadded orange Chanel7 shirt that looks 2 sizes to small for me working on the cameras, come and say hi if you like.

Cheers

Luke

Looking forward to being trackside agai this year, but probably only Thursday and Friday. (In the usual spot if you want to drop past)

So you'll miss the fashion shows behind your seats on Saturday and Sunday :closedeyes: 1st no Schutzenfest and now bailing on bikini parade.... you changed man :action-smiley-069:

Wow long time no hear Guy :) - if you are after a ticket for either Saturday or Sunday on Pit Entry Gold, I am selling some tickets at $85 per day. Or I still have a 4 day pass for $185.

Good to catch up with you today Nick.

They have destroyed our usual shade tent, but the fashion parade catwalk is still there, and the XXXX girls trailer was backed up for a show today.

Back again tomorrow.

Hopefully I get to spend most of the day in the corporate section (again) enjoying the free food and drinks.

yeah mate,

sorry couldn't hang around longer, with all practice and qualifying today it was a bit mad.

just got home after 14 hours at the track :huh:

oh and if your down near the GT paddock come and try our simulators, set up with the GT cars and the adelaide track :pirate:

1 hour race was great at night,

From the press release:

GTR I found sitting in front of the GT paddock

Our poor Lambo suffered a lower control arm failure during the race.

Andrew and I apparently stared on the Super Screen today :whistling:

Was chillin with my "old mate" Murray Walker on the podium today, watching the GT race, got a few photo's with him, whilst holding a bottle of Vodka O :thumbsup:

Vodka O porsche needs a heart transplant, don't think its normal for the oil to be 30% metal shavings :-(

I tried to find you this morning to no avail :( did pass murray in his golf cart though on the walk down to the GT pit area

Apparently andrew and pete tried to find me, but i musta been off escorting the guys in "yowie" suits around

amazing how far a green uniform gets you in the pit area :laugh:

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
