Not quite Dave… His in favor of me going to tracks more often. I think having to sue Queensland Transport to get my license back pushed his keen-ness to keeping it too the tracks more often eh.

I reckon you could hey.

And well, its a porsche, its ment to be on the track. I'll go just to watch it.

Don't mean to NAG, but we need another 30 people to sign up as drivers or this day will not go ahead !!!

by which date you need to know by? looks like u'll need to get at least other clubs/regular track goers to go in this.

rental car is tempting option for me at the moment :)

The absolute deadline is for everyone to have paid me for the day 15 days out from the date. 7th May.

The problem is that I have not confirmed the booking yet as that means a deposit. And I won't do that until the day looks like going ahead and I have most the payments.

The down side is until I confirm the booking anyone else who wants to run a track day can rip the date out from under us with one phone call to me to confirm on the spot.

My other Track Day is on the Monday 9th May. Maybe we should merge with that date. Else I can open the Sunday date to my other regulars.

SmoothLine has put the effort into this day, I'm just helping out. So I'll wait and see what he thinks our next move should be.

an mainly skyline affair would be great, but I don't think it's meant to be.

Both my friend's I asked had a large number of reasons why they couldn't take out perfectly good skylines either :(

I don't think its going to happen.

A sunday trackday in future I am sure could be organised, and would get quite a few more that can't otherwise make it to the mid-week days. A couple of my mates I mentioned this two were a lot more interested when I said it was a weekend, however for a couple of other reasons weren't willing to do it this time.

I reckon combining the day on Sunday would be a treat, as I am always struggling with work commitments during the week. Paul organises a great day!!

Problem is you have to book almost a year in advance to get a weekend day. This one only came up because of a cancellation. I asked them about how often a cancellation occurs and they said very rarely.

Even the week day bookings are hard to get. That's why I have book the years worth of dates already.

I will look more into the Warwick race track and also it will be great once the north coast track opens (bull dozers have not rolled yet, so don't get too keen)

      Gran Turismo 7 Time trial

      By Rezz · Posted

      Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.

      I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!

      I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.

      I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium

      It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
