Nige won't be running but there is a 50/50 chance of my car heading out.

We won't know until Friday arvo as I'm waiting for some new head bolts and studs to arrive.

I will keep you informed. Check the forums Sat night or Sunday morning as weather also plays a big factor in this. Don't wanna head up for racing be stuck in the carpark doing FA.

Yeah, couldnt reply last night from home.

Stupid dial-up.

Watch the forums as Dave said.

either he will post it, or i will as i'll be in touch with him (or gez/nige) on friday to see.

I know everyone was keen to see the leewah GTR in action :D

As Ash has said (coz I told him :() I will be running on the weekend if the weather holds out and isn't gonna rain at all on Sunday.

Even a slightly wet track in the morning won't dry fully till the afternoon and I don't travel to Heathcote to sit around and watch rain dry.

Currently according to the BOM, today and Sat were looking like scattered showers and then fining up. If it doesn't fine up by late Sat arvo, we prob won't go.

I will check BOM again tomorrow afternoon and check the radar and then give a post in the evening around 8ish.

SLYSX, yes I am still running standard GTR shafts :( They may break, they may hold. I'm a strong believer in that it is as strong as the driver. If you're gentle on them, they should be fine.

Dumping a clutch at 8000rpm with as much power as my car will put out isn't a good idea, standard driveline or otherwise.

As for passenger runs, if we get a time we're satisfied with, there maybe some space for a couple passenger runs but you gotta take a number coz there are plenty of people queuing up before you mate. Sorry. People have been asking me for a ride since the last time we were out and I have promised some people rides as long as the target time is achieved.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
