A heap of us heading down to the Mt Alma Mile this Saturday. Anyone keen to cruise down together I propose we meet at somewhere like Castle Plaza 9am? Thoughts?

SAU guys running include:

Josh Boag

Andrew Migas

Jenkies (assuming his car is 100% together)

A few other Skyline guys will be there including:

Luke Bosman

Hayden Buckingham

And a ton of other Skylines (including quite a few R35GTRs I believe).

And of course the Willall lads will have their R35GTR WR1000 and the WR86 there too.

Should be an awesome day!

Hey gdawg, which 32 were you? Was in the gold 32 GT-r (dads). First time there myself, was hanging with Mark (Jenkies) and a few mates. Agreed, going back down after the first run really show's you how steep the track is.

Did see Migas out, did you know if it was his car or another white 33 that was on the flat bed truck? Noticed it on the way down. And regarding the black 35gtr not sure, but there was abit of smoke coming out from under the engine bay when it passed us at the top on the flat-bed truck - not sure what though, no physical damage external damage.

Will be back out there tomorrow!

Apparently the black GTR did some decent damage putting a piston through block. Well, that's what I was told.

Had a great event with no dramas besides exhaust temp sensor working itself loose. Managed a 54.something with pretty minor mods and hifly rear shitty as tyres.

I was the slow white 32 with cable tied bumper haha. Was next to your dad cause I had a chat with him.

Well wouldn't say 54 with those mods, tyre spin was all that slow :) Definitely remember the car as think your mate had the read soarer? Was great weather for it!

Cheers for the head's up on the 35, definitely not good lasting half a run :/ Them's the brakes...

Our black R35 GTR still runs fine guys. We started it up and ran it for a bit when it came down the bottom. It did however overheat very quickly on the second run and blew the coolant out the overflow. More investigation required here, but mechanically its still in one piece. The commentators get a little excited at times up there :)

Ive had the plain silver 32 GTR, was parked up with the scooby doo club near the toilets most of the weekend

Love how steep it is, holds the gears for ages (highlighting my lack of grunt)

Great event, just dont have the balls f steel that some ppl do :)

Well done to Jenkies, first time out also... that car has the grunt to contend with the big boys based on first split tiems and speed, just need aome avons and a couple more sighting runs

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
