Hi Evil

Hope all is good - we will be there in the AU running sports sedans

Not much info yet, but apparently our pit area is somewhere on the skid pan

Your welcome - you and your Dad come and have a chat - if your dad likes fords he can have a sit in Courtneys old car! (Stone Bros Au3)

Cheers

Stuart & Karen

lol...

should be a very good line up of cars this year......2 or 3 R32's, 1 HR31 and the DR30.....plus all the other stuff to keep us on our toe's!

Hi Chris

Got the paperwork today - we will be on figure 8 drift track for parking (Sports Sedans)

Heres the new paint job - will have to sort suspension down there - too wet last meeting.

All rebuilt but no idea with the sachs, will give me something to do.

Big field but will be aiming for a mid 1.36

Hoping for PB for self and car!

If anyone else is competing, we will have 8kva generator, welder, power tools, and everything except for what I'll need, if we can be of any help come visit

Hey Stuart - that would be awesome and make Dad's day - we'll be sure to come up!

Cheers!

Chris

lol, we all know that feeling. :( generous offer too. :)

Hi Evil

Sorry, we were only just talking that we did not see you and didnt get a lot of time.

Was having issues tunning rebuilt shocks and bloody sway bars would work in pits and freeze on track - so I appologise to you and Duncan H - got to say g'day to Neil for point 2 of a second.

PS Duncan H - wasn't being rude, but the tall chap I was talking to was giving me lots of required information - he actually built the car and was of great help

Cheers

Catch up soon

awesome day today - got sunburnt !! Stu - I did walk past but you seemed very busy so didnt want to disturb!

Happy times with Dad(who is 73) smashing the Historic Group A Lap record in qualifying....then in race on Saturday........only to then put it into a wall 6-7 corners later.

Have to admit that VL GIO car/driver is a wicked combo!

oh no? which car in the wall?

and what was the historic GRP A record? well done. :)

GIO GTR....turn 7.....wrong gear so he looped it and hit on the RHS....smashed the rear hub and suspension + front suspension and 3 wheels. I nearly went off in sympathy lol.

got the car going for Sunday.... but a rear of the grid start with 3 race meeting old tyres didn't help.

Old lap record by Terry Ashwood was 1.41:8....dad did a 1.40:8......terry then went onto smash that on Sunday with a 1.40:5....I recon Dad's car is capable of 1.38's with us rookies!

BMW went well with David Towe....finished 2ND!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
