:( sorry Pete as i said couldn't help myself...

alan yes that was over one lap

i worked out how to use my camera since the last Winton and i do have the high speed shutter thing and it was all in one lap :unsure:....

Yeah the VL was there as well. It's quick and Adam can steer as well. He really drove the wheels off it at Winton.

Thanks snowy , the big fat ass wagon is my mates and is actually a stock 5ltr with side pipes , but it does have some good suspension and brakes to help it . I know the interior looks stripped but its an executive and they all look like that .

Actually bass junky had a couple of slides in front of my car also but managed to keep it of the grass and i reckon hes the last of the late brakers as i had a go at him into the left onto the back straight and he flew past my braking point.!!

adam

Whats done to the VL? I see you at every damn track day:)

What sort of times is the thing doing, as VL 5L are pretty cheap these days, throw a Tremec at it, EFI heads and a good carb and manifold...then i imagine with basic susp and brake upgrade it would do well...am i far off?

Hey roy , im a bit of track whore just like your self and attend all wrx days and as the skyline guys are their often its made these days heaps better.

VL's are worth nothing these days so they make a decent base as everything has to be changed from std anyway . Im running a supra 5 speed, std diff , vn 330 mm disc with a 2 spot caliper which are easy and cheap bolt ons. Engine has just been rebuilt and is still a carby 304 but is fitted with rollers and a solid cam , makes 200 atw . Shocks are just pedders shit atm but im looking at something a little more focused for next year . Tyres are toyo R888's which have helped with the times coming down.

The car is a good match for the rwd skylines as the times are close except at sandown where your r32's times i had no hope in catching.

Ill be sure to come and say hello at calder.

ps nice pic in front of the pub at benalia :blink:

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
