Did anyone end up going to this?

I wasn't going to go but a mate of mine called me up this morning wanting to go. I gave the GTR a bit of a blast on a couple of hot lap sessions which was a bit of fun, haven't take the R on the track till today. Didn't look like a bad turnout with a lot of different things going on and actual events that people could go in.

Should've mad this an event on my calender. Oh well, there is always next year.

P.S. If anyone did go.......did anyone get any pics, I forgot my camera....:oops

Yeah, went out there with the idea of taking it easy as I haven't modified the sump yet (new sump is sitting on my lounge room floor) but the minute I got out there I couldn't help myself. Was fun, but the brakes are a bit sad now......oh well, yet another thing to upgrade.....

Erin did ask if some people wanted to be in a club stand but there was limited intrest so there was no SAU stand there, maybe next year :cheers:

I wanted to go for the burnout comps, but really want to get my bar and skirts painted so saving up for that to get done is the priority atm ;)

Sounds like it was fun though!

Hey guys it's a wicked event, I went to Powercruise last year too so as soon as we found out a replacement event had been organised for QR again this year we were there!

I went down with our group from Hervey Bay (400km drive) for the whole weekend arriving Friday 7am in the morning so we could get a good campsite. They weren't going to but they let us run around the track that afternoon for two hours!!

I took the GTR around for the hot laps after having only just finished tuning it for 1bar on standard turbo's at 9pm thursday night (I never leave anything till the last minute!! hehe) and well wasn't doing too bad save for the f**ked falken azenis tyres I was running on with too much pressure as instructed at the drivers briefing - 40psi hmph! I'll stick to 34/32psi next time.

Anyway coming up the front straight in lap 4 one turbo cried ENOUGH! ... oh well at least it made 329.1rwhp earlier that day... Which leads me to my next question... anyone got a standard R32GTR turbo they wanna sell?!

I disconnected the wastegate actuator on the good turbo so I wouldn't stuff it as well on the way home. Drove it home last night with no boost :Oops: Damn what a slug! I even lost a race to our support vehicle - a turbo diesel patrol! :cheers:

I've got a few pics might post them later today... Anyone else on the forums go?

Sorry I couldn't post pics guys as it turns out we didn't take nearly as many as I thought; but here's a quick vid that was taken by one of the guys from our campsite. It shows fullysic running a WRX.... don't know if he beat it, as it looks like a close run...

Maybe fullysic can tell us if he did paste the WRX...? :kick:

Enjoy. MPG video here (zipped)

i heard that cops set up a defect station just outside towards the end of cruzetime??

truth?????

probly.........they usually do it for jamboree and everything as well....WAY TO GO COPS, great way to encourage ppl to go to the track, your gaurenteed some gay defect the minute you leave. They should say something like, "thanks for not illegaly street racing, however as we havent been able to fine you for that we're going to have to make it up on defects, please pull into the bay and prepare for mass rapage!"

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
