Nope - he was 0.1s slower than me.

The 1.08 was a 1.08.95 apparently. And the 1.04 never happened. The car had gearbox problems and of coarse as people do (see Brisby) they said "If the car was running I reckon we could have got a 1.04". (Yeah right!) It was an un-backed up boast thats all. The GTR was fastest and the Supra was second - less than 0.1s behind.

It is the full track. Last year the best time posted in this comp was a 1.13. I told Nige he should be aiming for a 1.10 before he left.

Well like i said then, its an awesome job to do that time around the full circuit. If the GTR is quicker again with its T88 then again that is a brilliant job.

A WRX time of 1:04 isnt impossible, but knowing the sort of mods the car would have had, id say its very unlikley. Hats off to the Supra and the GTR, they are brilliant times considering the problems and the amount of track time they had. Even with perfect prep and plenty of practice they are still brilliant times.

Anyone have secondhand tyres(17s) that even diametter all round for sale? I now have proper rims for the GTR but ran out of dosh for the rubber :P .

Mr Brisby if i can get rubber in time i'll go harvy with ya on that magic drum ( if Inasnt car is not in that is ).

Love to run on Sandown since its near my joint.

I'll drag the new car down there and race you troy with the fuse pulled on a couple laps to see what the gtst could have done with bigger turbos. Will that put me in rwd modified as well as 4wd? It sould be a good chance to learn how to slide a gtr around because after almost crashing it at over 140k on a turn after owning the car for 5 minutes I don't really trust it on the tighter corners going fast. The back goes out like the gtst but the front wheels pull you into the corner so you have to correct to oversteer as soon as the back starts to loose traction which I guess just means I can't be as lazy at driving. See you guys there.

LOL...im so pumped about this day. Its shaping up to the be the first track day since getting to Melbourne where the car will be sorted without a problem with tyres, brakes and tune all sorted:)

Thing is i want to throw on a new turbo but fear this will eman another few wasted track days until i get IT sorted...decisions - decisions:)

Gareth - good to see you've learnt that driving a GTR quickly isn't as easy as some Hill Billy's like to think. We've seen your not afraid to punt a car hard and you already know Sandown so I'm real keen to see what you can do around there.

No need to pull the fuse either as Roy now has more than the required 3 RWD Mod entries to compete against.

Roy if your car doesent get towed off during atleast 1 session then it just wouldnt be right!!! :P

Yep - Nige is an SAU member. Member #053.

You also have Denham and Wayne anyways in RWD mod. So if Nige comes (btw - he has confirmed he is coming yesterday) that makes 4 cars in RWD mod at this stage to the best of my knowledge.

:P

Blah, blah, blah...ppl dont allow / listen to my excuses, so your time of ...that slow time...stands:)  

And that goes for Sandown and Phillip Island:)

Me walks off talking about a waste of +300rwkws :)

You stop ragging on me and ill leave you alone:)

Dont have any cash for engine rebuilds at the moment so now 300kw runs :P

Is this ur first time at sandown?

Did a 1:36, a 1:32 then a 1:30.06 then it rained.:P

3 hot laps, LOL on the first hot lap i went off at turn 1 and flat spotted the front left tyre which left me with a horrible vibration all day and a tendency to continue to lock that tyre:(

At the end of the day i was doing 1:31s in the drying conditions:)

I put down 1.32 expected time on the entry form

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
