re the results that was for the last session.

Unfort a few of us had issues during the day so didn't make it to the end.

(mechanical issues not track based issues)

so add another 5-6 cars in there.

So a disclaimer for my commentary...

in my current seat I have around 1 cm clearance between my helmet and the roof.

SO small bumps become very big ones quickly for me.

(just ask my physio)

plus I was in a crap mood as My car started back firing.

anyhow after this one I have finally cracked the big one and the new seat will def be in for Nats.

Richo had i think 2 sessions of mine on his GoPro, so no doubt he'll upload that @ some point.

There were heaps of other cameras too so hopefully more footage should appear.

Here is one Martin has already done

WORK WARNNING FOR COMMENTARY

I did just lost the plot with a coughing, laughing fit watching the first 45 seconds....nice work Martin. I LOVE the commentary. I guess that was your first session

Russ, that seems to have a lot of pull for 245rwkws.

Dont tell me you have ImayhaveanRB25butitdoesntreallymakeanypowernotrulyitdoesntitsdown50rwkwsbecauseithasoldsparkplugs-itis :whistling:

Nah mate. It's making 285rwkw's now! Since before superlap :) It's nice power haha

is that right? only 5 people in street class and 7 in 'tuner' class? everyone wins a trophy day?

that's just the last session of the day

a few cars did not make it to the end, (eg me)

plus cars like the chasers evo had more than one driver but only one drove in the last session

that said yeah not the largest turn out.

They only did street & tuner outright, street & tuner 2wd and 4wd trophies in the end I believe.

Was really looking forward to my *by default* tuner GTR trophy haha

lol: "the two sweetest word in the English language... de...fault".

bummer, still you can tell people you won the GTR class at Australian Track Battle Time Attack. congratulations. :)

and yes well done to russ and newton too. still bit of a shame only half a dozen competitors in the 2 main classes.

I got the 4WD trophy for street class by default in the end LOL.

The bluebird in my category killed a motor, and the few EVOs that were meant to be street all rocked up on semi comps on the actual day and were moved class :/

still bit of a shame only half a dozen competitors in the 2 main classes.

I'm sure now that people have seen how much fun it is there will be a better turn out in the future. I reckon it would be just as fun to do the drift course. Maybe my drift car will be ready for the next one?

After seeing it up close over the whole weekend, i'll be there next year and so will Piggaz so there's 2 more GTR's to get in Ash's way.

Shame the grip guys got screwed with sessions, WAY too long between sessions vs the intervals for the drifters. Also the morning organization was just a joke, I hope someone got told off for that.

Russ, why bother with the drift car? It wont be straight after the weekend anyway haha. What carnage that drift session was.

I told you two monkeys you'd regret not entering!

The drifting carnage was awesome. Not many events with that level or carnage in Oz, made for really excellent viewing.

It was funny, usually you see the drifters with arms and legs out, doors open and other tomfoolery...

There was none of that shit this time :D

Drift car is allowed to hit walls :) Have you seen our build in build section. Femno started the topic.

Had a good day, was depressed in the morning for sure. With the timing issues we had 4 hot laps up to 2PM. The the poor bloke running the time attack side of things was coping it from all over, he did a good job to keep us all under control.

In the arvo they improved the format after some discussion with us, and many more laps were had.

lol at the cone they put out at the end....Russ noticed it, but I think he miss interpreted which side of the cone he should be going....

Fun day in the end, need more grip cars next time around. You're all a bunch of pansies for not entering. As the track is something you cannot get anywhere else.

- The transition onto the dome is too harsh, the grassed area needs to be surface and will be ok.

- The bump out the back is too large, need cut and smooth.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
