Hi Tek Shootout Pics

[51jay]

Some pics of the day

Myself..white front bar, Mick51...R32, MRE R33 2 door, and a Maroon R33 were all on the track at the same time + the 3 of us went to and from in convoy. It was a really good day but very hot, heaps of Skylines there. The white GTR was very very quick but ran out of brakes and went off the end of the straight at just on 220kph,however having emptyed out a ton of gravel he was back on the track.

Mick and Dave(MRE) both lost it a few times while Mr Cool (me) didn't but was 3 secs slower 1.11

002NVS.......They are Weds Sports racing 18x8,235-35 and 18x9,265-35

Model no is TC005 racing spec alloy wheel I got them from Primo (Phil Cathcart)

Why didn't you come over for a chat???

www.weds.co.jp/products on the left click TC005 then the Jap print on the left of the wheel for sizes, specs and price. As I said in another thread total weight is 2.5Kg less than stock mags with 205's on.........I like them too

[002 NVS]

Thanks alot for that...

I only saw your car on the track and walked past it a couple of times, but didnt see you standing around it...

Roughly how much do they cost with tyres? I think it was 55,000 yen per rim? What's that work out to..

...scott..

im dissapointed i didnt make it, but like i posted

didnt get up till after 12 :S

also it seems that my skylines clutch is getting a little worn looks like i have to start lookin round for a decent one to get

any ideas would be sweet tho ;)

[51jay]

Expensive !! exchange rate today 68.7 Y to the $A so

2 18x8 at Y55000 is $A1601 2 18x9 at Y57000 is $A 1659 so all up $A 3260.00 + freight I got mine used of course from Primo.

Then the tyres of your choice another $1200- $2000.

Did you see the white GTR go off the end of the straight? He said he just touched 220kph then nil brakes!!!!!

Was a great day.

There were lots of Skylines there on the day, but only a few out on the track to show there stuff.

My best lap was 1:09, Mick got a 1:08 and I am not sure what time Jay got.

Was my first time so it was all a learning curve.

I had just lowered my car so it was handling a little different than I was use too, I think some better rims/tyres would have helped as well. And of course an Auto, limits you a bit.

Around 6 cars were allowed on the track at one time with one car given around 10-15 gap and there are 7 laps.

Apparently last time overtaking was only allowed on the main straight, but this time it was anywhere you liked.

Would be great when we get the QLD Skyline Club up and running so we could have a whole field of Lines on the track at once.

[51jay]

At $105 for a total 21 laps it's a bit exxy though........... Makes you realize what a bargain that day at Morgan Park was ...whole day for $45. we should try to organise that again, but maybe in a cooler season.

MRE..... hehehe....you might have gone faster if you weren't wearing ladies driving gloves, oops!! did I forget to tell you :shake:

[MicK51]
