Semi slicks, check.

Full tank if fuel, check.

Raised suspension to not foul tyres, check.

Boost controller, tomorrow.

Nearly all systems go for sutton.....

Woooooooooooo hooooooooo

Yes spaces left. Send the form and money today and you'll be fine.

There is no extra cost for the CAMS license other than the actual cost of the license (eg it costs you no more to do it on the day, but the license cost still has to be paid)

So it turns out i can't afford it at the moment, which sucks epic....

hopefully you guys get a good turn out and we'll be able to do another one in the not too distant future.

I might still come out to spectate a little bit though, maybe.

Scott, don't worry so much! You'll live longer :D

There is a slow lap at the start where everyone goes in single file at a slow pace so you will be familiar with the track.

By mega power, I'm talking 420rwkw and upwards. I'd expect you to be in 2nd or 3rd for the whole run (of course with the exception of 1st at 7500rpm for the launch at the start)

Also that crest is like any crest you see in hilly parts of Sydney, for example the big one in Greenwich. You're not encouraged to go flat out over it and by doing so your time will be slower anyway so stuff that. If it's really bothering you I'll take you to it in the morning before runs start and drive over it myself with you in the car to demonstrate it's perfectly harmless when common sense is used :)

What are you talking about Steveo?!?!

I'm worried that I (a) WON'T get air and (b) won't get in to fourth gear.

If I don't get into at least 3rd gear with my 310awkw I'm going to be devastated. And I will only be launching at 1250 rpm in first.

I'm very familiar with that crest in Greenwich in fact I know someone who got monster air off it, crashed and now has monster metal plates in him. Retard.

Car is still being tweaked as I type this so it can't get much more prepared than that (assuming I get it back in time). Bring it on!

So lets say I want to enter. I can fill out the form and fax is etc, but what about payment?? Even if I transfer it first thing tomorrow chances are it won't appear in your account by the end of the day. Cash on the day ok???

Yes bring cash on the day... make sure it is the correct amount, we don't have oodles of change!

Brakes bled see u ladies there

What's with the early night bludger?

I've just knocked off, wrecker motor in the car, seems to be running OK. Thanks to Mark and the boys at Hills Motorsport for putting on some late nights to help get it ready.

See y'all on saturday

kept half asking Steve tonight if we ended up with the numbers to do another one of these things, sure hope so.

He would then burst out in laughter at some ribald joke someone or another had made and im pretty sure half of Canberra had to hear us giggling away as we drank the only pub for miles dry of all its finest lager.

Good times folks.

and i havent even turned a wheel in anger yet..

    • 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
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
