I missed Leigh's 2nd run cos of the stripper pic you sent Tony.

Might be a good thing not to watch Leigh's fancy ford putting a better time than I did with the R.

Calder was pretty crap last night, got there at like 7 and only got 2 runs until 12.. (with a small dinner break).. around 300 cars there. First run was complete shait, left it in full auto performance mode with traction control off and span 1st 2nd 3rd off the line drifting next to the wall with a 2.7 60ft just let off.. 2nd run was a bit better 13.2 but hit limiter in 1st to 2nd which would of cost me that 12.

Until next time! will definitely be heathcote though. Less cars ftw. Probably enter in that tri battle thing - Ash you going??

Also met Grant down there in his R with a slipping clutch from looks of things :P

Mph?

Mph?

108 on the only half decent run, 92 cruisin my 17 sec quarter after I mc'royally f**ked the start

Just finished cleaning some of the rubber off the car, decent amount came off the tyres for just 2 2nd gear burnouts

I did 109.71 on my 2nd run.

Damn you and your fancy ford tongue.gif

Is that the tri-club battle thing? Might get my entry in soon. Hoping for a 115mph

Shouldn't be hard my GTR only had 233 rwkw at the time and couldnt go any faster than 111 cos of speed limiter lol.

Get your entry in brah I did mine today

Ye Calder in all honesty is NOT the place to go to test/tune. Really need to drive to Heathcote these days.

Calder is just toooooo busy :(

I'm waiting for Snowman to get back from Bali. If he says we are doing Mt Baw Baw Sprint - then I won't be...

If I don't do Baw Baw then 100% be @ drag challenge :)

Yeah, waited almost a hour for a run, and bikes get more runs than we do with cars...

Farkin this...there's that magic (or not so) age in your twenties where you just can't do it anymore lol. When I was at uni I could go out on a thursday night and be at uni the next day on 4 hours sleep. Anything less than 8 these days and I feel like ass!

The majority anyway, I know some my age that can happily pull all-nighters nearly every day of the week. I think I stopped being able to do that at about 22.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
