Once again, a bloody awesome day with good people and good cars.

The 34 was an absolute handful with the new hp/torque on what was left of the old semi slicks to say the very least.

Great to meet you today Bryce. Look forward to seeing you and your beast again.

Pretty sure all of the skyline boys were putting down some fantastic driving today from what I saw and it made for some awesome fun mixing together regardless of hp and calibre of cars.

Jared - your flaming inferno exhaust just gets more and more ridiculous every time we see you lol We have some wicked footage of our cars together and - just as a rough look at the lap times, I'd say you are definitely consistent with 1;10's when you get a clear run, which is bloody awesome considering it's your second ever track race style event at Barbs with not the best 245 tyres, and you are dicing up a fair few V8's and saloon race cars (which really puts it in to perspective)

Cheers for a great day to the lads that could make it out and looking forward to catching up again soon.

Regards from the Blake boys

Hay guys, what a awesome day! There were really good laps getting pulled buy the rb boys. It was great meeting you Brendan and you dad :) looking faward to catching up with you guys again and seeing the Blake boyz monsters battling out :) got some good footage with the go pro of you and your dad with flames poping while I'm on the case doing what ever I can to keep up with your machines lol :) do you have a time on what you were doing Brendan? Coz according to go pro If I got a clean run I was getting 1:09, so you and your old man would be coming alot under that time. Cheers Bryce

Good stuff. We got some good footage also. I'm hoping I'll hear back from Jared at some point because I think he will have some awesome GoPro vids.

Looking at the vids, it seems a rough best lap time for a clear lap for Geoff was low 67, maybe high 66. Rough best lap times for me seem to be in the high 67 range. But consistent clear lap times were more like 67-68 for Geoff and 68-69 for me. Will be interesting to see if the times come down a bit when I put some fresh rubber on and Geoff services his brakes for the next track day haha

Just FYI everyone; The next track day we are planning on attending is Saturday the 29th June

Good stuff Bryce. Hope it goes straight forward for you mate.

Assuming you mean 5th July ;-) I'll be away at work for that one.

Still contemplating whether or not I will compete at the speed event time attack on 13 July - at this stage I'm just getting used to the car and just seeing if it holds together. I've got a few minor issues to sort out after that track day just gone.


I'm now booked in for a gearbox replacement so hopefully I'll be able to pull 5th gear down the straight at next track day :-)
Also got new tyres and a rocker cover oil baffle kit on the way so everything should be 100% for the 29th, touch wood.

Keep in touch lads



Oops! Sorry, Yeah July is what I meet :) is that the LF series your thinking about going in Brendan? sounds good all the stuff going on, can't wait to see the blue rocket in action again :) IV come to it that I'm going to take my car off the road , and have it back on for august track day, got a few mods going on and do my set up :) so it will be a bummer missing out in some racing, but I'll will still come down and be media crew on the 29th :) to capture the rb's in action.

I am one happy camper right now :-) The R34 is back from the workshop and the boys went ahead and did a few extra things for me that I was going to do. New R888's to be fitted tomorrow and a bit of tinkering and I'm organised and ready for track day number 2 ;-)

Hay guys, I know it's a while away but I'm heading out on the 23rd of August track day. Will any one be attending? My car has been off the road but will be back in action for then, and I can't wait to try it out, as its getting a few mods done :) hope to see some rb's in action out the there. cheers Bryce

    • 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.
