yea, bit of a woops on the skid pan, dunno how either lol,

just panel damage, nothing sticky tape and cable ties wont fix :-)

but all good, managed to slide that bend pretty consistant for rest of the day.

tax cheque is now spent before i even get it lol, partially on simon modding my knuckles! much needed! and solid cradle bushes, and a tune.

I was pretty impressed at how hard people were going round 'Iron Chef Corner' and the straight following.

its pretty fun when its wet, limiter in 3rd with only 140kw, no chance at doing the whole corner in the dry with my car tho

Tailem ran a 400m event last year (September if I remember right)

It was good enough for my EVO X to run an 11.9

and a mates turbocharged LS1 a 12.2 (on Achilles street tyres of all things)

Now apparently its unsafe to run cars 400m there - although the surface was totally fine, CAMS even let us run in the wet, and there was no problem with that either. Let the Sporting Car Club run these meets and they will be 400m. For some reason ANDRA seem hell bent on making everything into an 1/8th mile....we already have four such tracks. We do not need another.

Standing 1000m would be even better. The deep end is where the fun is.

For a cheaper sport, try knitting, not castrating drag racing.

Twenty 20 short format suits cricket, not cars IMO.

Lobby the Sporting Car Club and we will get the 400m events back :)

Truer words have never been spoken.

I might head out for some runs at this 1/8th mile thing in August just for a look (haven't been to the TB track before), and for some legal tyre warmup burnouts (assuming they are still allowing THAT)

I just ran my car in hicas diagnostics mode and it flashed once but nothing else (to my understanding that tells me there are no problems) am I correct?

Car is 93 r32 Gtr with standard steering wheel and all that jazz..

    • Yeah i get what you mean. Mine thought i wouldnt mind being a bit quieter overall as well as have the drone taken out is more what i was trying to say. Im going to start with a mid muffler, and go from there 
    • I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.
    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
