greedy car companies want to operate on a profit. how dare they.

and the government wants to encourage local sales and bail out aus made cars owned by billion dollar international companies. and then get their fingers wet getting 33% tax on vehicles valued over $60-something.

good one straya

Winton first time today. Off the top of my head.

Session 1: 2:03 - didnt know what I was doing

Session 2: 2:00.7 - slowly learning

Session 3: 2:00.9 - did same as last session. Didnt know what to do to go faster

Session 4: 1:57 - newbish friend helping me out with a few things I was doing wrong

Session 5: 1:55.5 - more experienced friend showing me lines for sweeper and s turn

Session 6: 1:53 - missus as passenger. Improving on what my friend pointed out with lines and braking

Not bad for sub 50 odd kw on re002 for first time. It has more in it as is. But no more track time. Will be back next time to improve! As is I think I can get 1:51-1:52 comfortably

Mate with same set up but with k24 e85 160fwkw was dipping into 1:42. Wtb mo powarh

Nick, Hamish + Aaron: Thoughts on owning an Evo as a daily / weekend warrior?

Thinking about going and test driving a couple of Evo 8s.

Evo 8 would be a nice daily, just remember if you go a jdm 8 check for rust underneath

Well it's either that or start considering 7s and get a nice dirt bike or something for some weekend fun. Heard them rodz aint so great though. How much power was yours pushing out Nick?

235awkw and don't want to push too much more, some people have but depends for how long

It's the torque that kills them and because they get on the power so quick they tend to die if they push big power on stock rods

its fine, not the best on fuel similar economy to a skyline, just be mindful of the less than huge tank for daily duties if you do a fair number of KM/week.

as for the power thing, mines making 250 on 98 seems to be going fine so far.

If you're planning on modding it heaps go 8. I prefer 7 though, cheaper, I like the kit, and wasn't planning on modding it much at all.

Definitely recommend as a daily (if u don't mind regular fuel trips because if tank size) or weekender.

But after driving Scotty's Stagea last night, I seriously miss my old one.... Much more than the evo

I still have a reaction video of me and two mates from when Scotty took us for a spin in it, bloody epic. :D

Last night my mates were getting out of the lancer and they were just like "so much better than your 34"

Dat four door lyf coming in handy (although as a driver, no f**ks usually given anyway)

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
