It was good to catch up with some familiar faces and some new ones from the SAU crew. 'Build it and they will come'... and boy did the crowd turn up, cars parked along the road for klms in each direction.

It felt just like old times out there today, hey MattyR, MattyT, and Nightcrawler? I can't wait till the return to full 1/4 racing!

I saw Zappia run 4.29 @ 178MPH just before I left at 730pm.

One word; Amazing.

I was there all day, saw the Willall guys, DSTROY and Blue32. Where was everyone else lol.

Work, lol. I found out when I got home that it was going till late, otherwise I would have maybe headed out there to have a gander.

We saw you wandering around in the distance with 2 other blokes at one point when we were on the concrete seats on the Southern side, but since we couldn't see much we wandered over and stood on the inside wall of the track for the rest of the day.

I just remembered I also spotted Heslo and Japstar too. I can't wait for the next one, it was sooooo good. I really enjoyed the motorbike stunts too. Parking was chaos, I got a park right near the ticket booth as I got there early in the day, but leaving wasn't so easy, I was boxed in by 5 cars :/

I can deal with that though, we needed the people!

The AdelaideNow article said more than 10,000, but I've heard it was 3 times that. By 6pm 26,000 tickets had been sold at the gates, with people still coming. That's info from FB. I'm inclined to believe it.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
