It was warm, family day, I wasn't really bothering but no harm in having racechrono running in the background - I was 4 secs slower.

Also I believe the R32's 1:14 was another day, I loved my ride with Paul (silkgod), it's days like this where you get that chance, brutally fast, the rest of the world is in slo-mo.

Note they put him in that group and I observed someone who knew what he was doing and what kind of day it was - I was in for his last session, at line up, first time that day, stewards mention if he was to go out again, maybe step in to group 1.

There was no offical timing, so who really knows. The 32 was mega loud, I would have said over the noise limit. 1.14 I didnt hear that tho.

My GPS had a 23 on it from the frist sesson. I didnt have it in the car after that. No point with the sliding.

First MS event is PI on the 2nd of Feb.

Spoke to the driver of the R32, nice guy. He guessed he was doing 1:18's - 19's on the day..... was running less boost so around 390-400kw at the wheels. Said his best time there previously is 1:14.2 on full slicks, approx. ~450kw.

Hollinger sequential + ignition cut = tuffest sound evarrr

yeah anyone drifting should have been removed..... :whistling:

but yeah I think they were giving those who had done a few track days days with them more leniency

that said same Clerk of course at winton had pulled me aside for "drifting"

his comments were.

"you have been reported for drifting...I've never seen you do that in the past, take it easy past corner XXX have fun"

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
