MrGTST - don't worry man - I'd way be in the same boat.. thats why I'm still thinking of if I should compete or not...

What say I bring down a few helmets and we see what happens?

Anyone got a plan/where to meet worked out? Maybe we should meet up south perth way and all head in together?

"Don't be soft, it's easy.." I've heard and followed that advice before.. hehe.... tends to hurt...

But seriously - I'll be running with a 14, maybe 13.8 second car.. nothing flash so I can't see how I'm going to do anything cept for hurt my stock clutch some more..

OK fair enough.... Another question.... Is there a BP nearby that sells BP Ultimate??? I ask because since I boosted my car really chews through the petrol quickly... To the extent I am concerned about getting there and back on one tank of fuel!!! The cruise to Yanchep should be interesting too!!!

I dunno about that... Maybe its my lead foot but I use about a quarter of a tank just going to Scarborough and back and I live near Warwick so its not very far at all.... Dare I even try to drive the 40 plus K's one way to the Motorplex drag and try to get home :P

I think you could put it down to my lead foot and the fact that I am still enjoying the novelty of high boost all the time.... even when its not needed.....

"I think I will go to the shops .... that will require high boost for sure" :P

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
