Give me a few weeks to build up the confidence to try this clutch again. Don't wana b pulling a box every week.

Haha poor clutch not good to hear after last week man, but yer took a girl down with me tonight lets just say she wasn't impressed with the lack of cars... D'oh :/

Cheers for that, i'll let yas know when i head out that way

To easy bro :)

Just a heads up to anyone that was planning on attending the test and tune tonight, the meeting has been cancelled due to track clean up and poor access :)

TEST AND TUNE FOR 30/1/13 CANCELLED

Do you know if they are still having powerplay this sat at qr?

As of tuesday at 5:58pm it was still on... And that's coming from Gup

im going to go for a few runs in March here, never actually draged on the strip before, can someone give a noob a rundown on staging, burnouts ( are they even needed ) ? tyre pressures ect specific to willowbank ?

Also what is needed to run, just a helmet? what spec does it need to be?

Old bud will wave you out of the staging lanes at which point you roll out and wait behind the water traps the guy at the water traps will signal you to come forward and do your burnout (if your on street tyres just a few hard turn or just avoid the water altogether as there is very little grip to be gained by bagging the hell out of a set of street tires... Plus everyone will think your a nob jockey if you do a 30 second standstill :P)

After the burnout creep up towards the lights when ur in first stage the top pair of yellow lights will come on, at this point you only need to move about 10-20cm forward and you will be fully staged.

The starter will then drop the tree and as soon as u see the last yellow light drop the clutch and off you go, take the first return road and go around and do it all again :thumbsup:

How'd you go mate?

Ah dang, had a couple of cars go down with us. No records broken only casualties.

Yeha took down the dirty 30 for a spin, no 11 just yet still running 121-123 mph passes so I must just have crap driving

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
