Happylaps - Queensland Raceway - August 17Th


Recommended Posts

I was talking to some of the guys from QR shortly after the death at Lakeside a few months back. Insurance for happy laps is insane for them and getting worse, my guess is that this has to be done to keep their coverage. Inexperienced drivers, no safety gear, passengers etc. If I ran an insurance company I'd be demanding the earth in premiums.

There's always the if you're inexperienced you don't have go out and try and chase the big fish out on the track you spend the first few times learning the track and your car, also helps if people properly maintain their car and appropriate safety equipment like decent brakes or atleast not run rooted pads. I personally go over my car as much as I can a week or two leading to happy laps or any racing event/ cruise.

have paid all ready to go,hopefully they dont police the 110-120 km as talked about,the whole idea is to give your car abit of a wind out in a controlled enviroment,if the organisers get to strict on speed limits,then it will drive people away from these events,and more prone to do stupid things on public roads,which is not what anyone wants,just a thought. :woot::angry:

is this event going to be split up into a couple of groups as have had a look on the supra site and they have 28 coming along,that means at the moment there will be 45 skylines and supras on the track at the same time,talk about hectic,with that many will probably not get out of 2nd gear!!.maybe something to look into for next time,the supra club are a very enthusiastic bunch,haha,good on them,everone to there own.

Why am I giving said cactus a blowie? Shouldn't it be you giving said cactus a blowie?

Because I suspected you wouldn't want to do that, hence the chances of my putting an rb back into it was slim to none....

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
