Appolo 1 you are cleared for launch.

All,

  Im off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of eastern creek! Bring on the rain YEAH!. Tough luck to all you suckers stuck in the office! EC here I come

shuddup Paul. :rofl:

LOL...it was fun in the wet. Im always amazed how much you learn about the characteristics of the car in the wet, and how you learn throttle control and to use smooth steering inputs, which all goes out the window when you run accross muddy rivers running accross the track.

Started off good, then as the rain continued the water started running accross the track on turn 1 (big moment sideways but held onto it and survived), turn 4 (survived, still a little gunshy from turn 1), but then turn 8 was having a play sidewys with a monaro, but coming up to turn 9 aquaplaned straight over some mud/river form a a Porsche crash earlier in the day and went for aride.

It was good fun, a bit like a slippery dip, but instead of splashing into a nice pool of water it was like going head first into the pool bottom:( , or tyres in this case.

Car got back on the track and did another 3 x 20min sessions until the alternator died and had no voltage...lol big thanks to Doughboy and the midnight spares express:thumbsup:

All in all it was a fun day, good to catch up with Paul and Ben (long time no see) and do a lousy 2:20 slipping and sliding with the occasional bump:(

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
