Realistically, it's had zero tests/shake downs if the pics and stuff we've seen are to be believed. I think it's more likely going to spend the weekend broken in the pits.

Hey, look, this guy was right....!

(Regarding US GTR)

:P

Good day, seemed a lot of mechanical carnage going on. Lots of broken things laying round in the pits. Lots of busy crew members.

Brian was providing some great entertainment sliding the R35 round. Disappointed that an emo pushed Scorch off the top step late in the arvo, let's hope he can find a bit more and win it tomorrow.

That Livestream was really good. Tilton evo just got it, obviously losing power down the final straight, falling to bits went 1:24.84, Mca went 1:25.7, good lap from SVG. Then US came thru with a 1:24.88. Last runs where very late in the arvo losing light in not the best track conditions I would think.

Tilton was lucky to get away with the win, but congrats to them they seemed to have a horrible weekend wi their car

Shoutout to Richo, I don't know you but man that was good seeing you punt the gtst around for all us gtst owners and for sau in generals awesome driving mate and a few really nice sideways moments too !

Dean lollie did a nice job putting the 32 and 34 onto the podium in open class I think it was.

I actually thought it was a lot more interesting to watch on the stream than live. When you're out there it's hard to work out who's on a flyer and there's no way to work out who's in front. On the stream you follow the car for it's hot lap and you can see how hard they are pushing. Still it's a great event, and great to see these cars in the flesh and on full song. And the women! Sweet mother of jebus...

If you're there purely for the comp then I think the LiveStream might be the go, but the experience as a whole was great. Walking the pits in particular, chatting to drivers and teams, inspecting cars, getting up close to Nagata, Orido, Tanaguichi, etc, these are names I grew up watching on Jap DVDs etc. Plus the noise, the smell, the stress, it's amazing.

Amazing to see the Open cars hanging with the Pro-Am. All that aero seems a little pointless for the times they are putting down

What happened to Team America?

Too many Cosworth and Pectel parts ie UK parts for it to run reliably :( But it did look better than expected all stickered up from the pics I saw. Shame to see them not get many kms under their belt give all the work that has gone in to it. Still, team Last Minute will always struggle with such complex cars

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
