I big thumbs up to the organisers. The day was run very well. I had a blast.

Commiserations to the owner of the R32 that hill the wall. Glad to hear you walked away from it though - that's the main thing.

Great bunch of guys and girls there. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

I've got some in-car video I will upload tonight, including the Corvette doing a nice pirouette. :)

Hey everyone,

Glad to have met some really nice people yesterday. I'm absolutely devastated about losing my pride and joy.

I think it was a combination of too much speed, cold tyres and oversteer....

Still not sure what I'll be doing with the car.....

Thanks for the great day out.

Thanks for all the people who gave me a hand on the day.

The wagon does have some speed in it, I'm happy with the time of 1.13 but it was sad to see the r32 wrecked.

you can build it, bigger, better, stronger.....

That was one of the nicest 32's around, at least you used it for what it was designed for. Although being pretty much show car quality it was brave. If you have the energy both emotionally and physically to re build it I'm sure it will be a work of art again but if not I'm sure we would all understand your pain

I do.(not crashed, but 3x sets of bearings and engine builds)

It's heart breaking.

But, generally with a build like that, it's an obsession.

And won't go away.

Build it again.

Then buy a cheap track car to thrash.

Either way, if you need a hand, or just to talk, let me know.

Hey peeps

Thanks for your support....I would love to restore my pride and joy but at the moment cash is tight and now with a small family....

She definitely was a one of a kind, at least I managed to keep the dream alive for 4 years. I have another dream....a hakosuka with an RB26.....just a matter of time.

I've posted up a thread in the sales section

If anyones interested in buying the car as is, please give me a call...

Cheers

you should be glad for a few things

1- you walked away

2- you have a super cool story to tell, not a "i crashed my car in traffic" story, but "I smacked the wall at Eastern Creek"

3 - that wall had it coming.

Hey KC,

Sounds like you have a good outlook despite the situation. Condolences for your pride & joy mate.

I had an on track incident with my Wife's MX5 a few years back. When you stop and think about the calculated risks, a track is still the best place to let loose our cars. All too many fatalities occur on public roads where speed and 'objects' are factors. Given the speeds we do at the track, most walk away from accidents.

If you want to chat to someone who's been in your situation feel free to PM me.

big thanks to all the organisers and volunteers for getting this day up and running, had an absolute ball, the car went hard all day and shaved 2 seconds off my best time from last year

also thanks to Brian for taking me for a spin in the corvette, such a beast, and to Mark (Staz88) for sitting shotgun and teaching me how to spin out like a boss, ended up shaving off those 2 seconds straight up next timed session. Hopefully Luke got some footage from that passenger session, was quite fun

Cant beat the last session of the day though which we all seemed to treat as a fun session, jez blasting past me through the esses twice, and bighead overtaking me up the hill....... sideways....... was pissing myself laughing when i saw him coming in the mirror

:ph34r:

I had an absolute blast. Managed to knock off 3 seconds from my time last year which I'm stoked about.

A huge shout out to the organisers, thr marshals and time keepers at SMSP and to Dave running around all day keeping things running smoothly.

Also a thanks to Nick for riding shotgun with me giving me tips, I've got lots to work on.

I'll upload some footage over the next few days which also includes some epic flamage from the Nur

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
