Met some more people from the club, yesterday, special mention must go to Al - top guy, Chris (Black R33), Darren (R32) and Zul. Few others as well but didnt catch your names. James - thanks for organising the cruise down, even if you did disapeer as soon as we joined the freeway and didnt see you until we got there!

Thanks, always like to help my fellow skyline enthusiests. Hopefully that front bar held on till Chris got home. It was great to hear that the guy, who caused the accedient, actually admitted fault and organised all the insurance stuff within a couple of hours. There are still some fair and honest Holden drivers out there :D.

What happened to you as we left Megamart? We all pulled over on the Monash on ramp and waited till we thought everyone had caught up.

Some REALLY great pictures buddy :D

They day was great, i had more fun in the pits catching up with everyone than actually watching the track, only saw 3 group sessions.

Hey Al

I was at the back of the que at the on ramp but by the time we had all filtered on it was only Chris, and they guys in the R32 and me left in sight!Lol! The three of us just cruised together until the accident. I have one more pic of the aftermath so will put that up.

Zul posing! Yeah was the best outcome you could hope for in that situation, just a shame it happened. Great repair job by the way.

You did a bloody great job on the bar Al!!! We were talking about it all the way home and yeah, Chris followed us half way back to Melbourne and the bar stayed on fine... looked stronger than it was, hahaha.

awesome pics... what were everyones times?

My best time was a 2.11 (not happy with that) Only got out 3 times and black flagged on my last run. Very happy to get on the track at last and give it a go. I will need lots more track time to improve skills and style cos I can't drive... obviously. I need bigger... you know...BALLS!

I was blowing heaps of smoke (no catch can - straight onto dump pipe) down the straights each time I went out, was very concerning to see the cabin fill up with smoke...

Most of the other guys were flying. Most were in the 1.55 to 2.05 (even first time out @ PI) Snowy got a 1.48 give or take.

Had a look on WRX.com for times - not posted yet?

You can find the times here - http://www.racetime.com.au/?event=p0503

I don't know how to get to an overall timelist like we had at calder, you have to look at the individual session times.

I managed a 1.57.6

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
