Here you go mate:

Awesome Chris! Thanks! Although the second and third vid seem like they were my first runs where I had NFI where I was going! ;o)

The first clip is the one I recorded in-car... I wonder if I can do some Initial Drift Picture-In-Picture action on that?

One i made of the Big blue taxi.

Nice work, Ron! As much fun as the Falcon was (and it sounds great, too), I'm betting Geoff wishes he'd done one of these days when he still had the V35.

The 6 speed auto still does a decent job with some help from the handbrake. Obviously a clutch would make it more enjoyable but its not a requirement.

Nothing to do with the handbrake.

The XR6T FG is a bit intrusive on take off with it's torque management software, and as such is way too slow off the mark for my liking.

The manual on the other hand has launch control.

Even with TC off? In my BF2 I've done a few texis. I turn TC off, stall it up and theres no issues lighting it up or getting away quick. Might be time for a flash tune if the factory program is stopping you having fun.

Yeah, there is lots of bull shit in the FG I've been finding.

Stalled up on the brake it's normally pretty slow till about 40KM/H then all hell breaks loose, but roll off the mark and tramp it at 10KM/H and it will near instantly fry the tyres.

They added a lot of electronic wizadry as each new version of the XR6T comes out. It also gets off the mark differently dependent on whether you're in boring auto mode, performance auto mode, manual mode, and whether DSC is on or off. 6 Different ways it decides to get off the mark makes it interesting... LOL

But in the end, there's nothing like the fun of side stepping the clutch with a heap of revs built up... LOL

I'll give texi a crack one day in it, unless the R33 is back on the road... So chances are you'll see the orange FG having a crack... LOL

For those that care, here are the times.

I did my best with the time sheets. The course name is missing for some , so if you know what it should be please let me know.

If you see a typo etc let me know.

I was going to make up some formulas to calculate best times after penalties but got bored and decided to do my job instead. whistling.gif

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
