On a day of crazy fast times and cars your effort was execptional Brisby. Well done.

I still can't believe I ran a 1.22.2 and that it was only good enough for the 7th fastest time of the day. That's a seriously quick group of cars out there.

But anyways I'm exhausted and I need to go find a beer.

Well what can I say, a day full of excitement and dissapointment, it just wasn't my day... After 5 attempts the intercooler piping was just not holding full boost in fourth gear, resulting in 1 complete timed lap of 1:29.... I wanted to leave at the end of the day with a sub 1:30, so I guess that's something to be proud of...

Full congrats to Roy, stepped up to the challenge and delivered the goods... WELL DONE TROY!!!! Hopefully next outing at Sandown I'll be able to match the time....

Gareth (Rowdy R32), brings a tear to the eye seeing your car after the crash, you walked away unscathed so I guess that's all that matters.....

Snowy, good to see you improved on your previous time...

I must give out a big thank you to Andrew (ferni) and Denton (DentonR33??) for their help in trying to sort out the intercooler piping issue, Cheers guys, really appreciate it!!!

And to all the rest of the SAU clan, good to see you all out there supporting us TEAM WANGERS!!!!

Looking forward to the next one!!!

how'd the new brake setup go?

Great to see the team going so well. Was nice to drop in and say hi. Great time Troy, and I trust the car made it through the day unscathed. Is this a new watershed? 58Y finished a track day?

Gareth, condolences on the wall incident, but consider the fun of rebuilding :)

So what were the critical lap times?

Did Benno stave off the assault from that nice white GTR32?

As far as I know:

Me - 1:29 (1 timed lap for the whole day, retired early)

INASNT - 1:33

Roy -1:25

Snowy - 1:22

wwwrrxxx - 1:22

Frank - 1:20 (retired early)

RPMGTR - 1:17

Correct me if I'm wrong....

Not sure of Ant95GTR and any other TEAM WANGERS.....

Chris pulled a 1.23 before the gearbox lunched itself.  I would have put bucks on 22s.  

I think it is time to change my user name..

Took me about 10 minutes to get used to my clutch again Jack..

Oh yeah, forgot all about Chris!!! Aaron, very impressive time considering you have bugger all mods on your car, must be the driver!!!!

Yeah clutch is a bit aggressive, good for holding the power though.....

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
