Great too see everyone down at the track. We had some logistical issues with trophies and food on the day. But we plan on making that up in the new year, so stay tuned.

Great photo's!

Anyone with in-car video

Doh, one time my misses comes down, plus actually gets in the car - go pro was set to ONF so missed capturing her asking me to slow down on the warm up lap!

Wife/son loved the event so big thanks to the organisers for risking/organising a different type of day.

Didn't get much time to talk as i was loving the chance to ride with others, experience 4 wheel power down etc - highlight has to be ride with Silkgod - Paul it was awesome even at 80%, thanks.

wtf richo!! i'm freakin out about being black flagged for taking turn 1 too hot etc and you're gallavanting around sideways!! hahahahah :D - i guess they know you, how you can drive etc...

Was a brilliant day combining social and motorsport together, great concept :) SAU should definitely have a crack or perhaps get WRX club to do more days like it.

I was garaged next to Henry from Cosmic Performance? (Cosmic was at least in the name) - really nice guy, always helps having a tuner right next to you :D - had a boost controller question with my EVC, jumped in, beep beep beep, all done and fixed :) Also went passenger in his standard WRX but with big brakes, great handling little car out of the box and his brake upgrade was fantastic. A kit he developed.

Also went passenger in Paul's R34....... my word............ GRIP! I know it's a tarmac rally car but seriously, the turn-in on that thing was off the charts! The amount of cornering speed it could carry was just ridiculous, and it still felt quite settled, definitely seemed like you could throw more at it depending on the size of ones balls :D - brakes were obviously fantastic as well, just an amazing package all round. Huge thanks for Paul for a passenger lap at the end of the day.

Happy with how my car went, even though i wasn't pushing it. I'd just putt putt around the corners and just mash it on the straights :D - for those wondering about front/back straight speeds (discussion in another thread) i was getting to around 240 before i chickened out to brake :D

Thanks to Aaron for tool borrowage as well :)

Not a problem at all Dan and great to get a chance to hang out.

Best for the day was a 1:24 so still a few seconds off 1:21pb but temps would have a bit to do with that - also growing back said knackers to carry more speed through turn 6! Was an awesome day great format, lots off fun tussling with the rexies, and that dinner afterwards was fantastic. Those wood fired pizza guys know how to roast a joint.

That race r32 shouldn't have been on the track imo

I hear that he had to keep his speed down a little because someone was dropping some pink transmission fluid onto the track...

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
