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!"

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
