Congrats to Man_in_bulk....he took out the final round of the state champs at Eastern Creek this weekend, winning the 2005 championship in the process (not to mention a very impressive 1.48.8 lap time....)

Congrats to Geoff and the rest of the support team at BSM including Sydneykid!

Whats more.....another SAU forum member (if only just :D) came home 2nd MB.Motorsport :( Shame he's in a commodore but he might upgrade one day ;)

Honourable mention to road_and_race who's GTR finished 5th in Class A pipping me by 8 points (I ended up 6th). And haw001 who ended up 10th (thats what you get for only entering 1 round :D)

Can't wait to get out there again next year and give it a real shot :D

yes, congrats to the BSM boys!

Well our season in prod sports came to a sad end with the porsche being heavily crashed in practice :D Turn 1, EC, 180kph, inside wall... not good. car is totaled. Not sure if Rob and our little band will be back next year, but if not i will offer my strut brace and services to you duncan :D

nah I was coming around to lap him Geoff.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Richard that really sucks. Did the tail come out in turn 1 or was there a nudge. :) I guess its a reminder....only race what you can afford to loose :) at $9k a GTR is in my budget.

Maybe its a sign he should be picking up one of those old spec carerra cup shells.....supercar pace at about 10% of the price

yeah tail came out at turn 1 on the throttle, arse snapped around and fired him into the inside wall, car is quite badly damaged. the quote from someone in sydney was $76K in parts + lots-o-labour. Rob has a plan though and should have it back together for a fair bit less than that. Porsche (germany) apparently will take the old shell back, crush it, credit him towards a new one and send a replacement 05 cup car shell complete with cage etc back. He can do this as it was bought as a Cup Car.

The funny thing was the car was not behaving as Rob wanted yet he still managed to qualify 5th with a 1:40.1. It would have been a great weekend.

Richard was that the cup car missing a lot of the front end parked up-hill from the control tower on saturday? or another fence/PCC car?

I was at turn 4 and saw a bigggg lose in the first race on Saturday cold tyre oversteer and disappeared stage right....

any fotos?

Duncan,

Thanks for the mention, it's a shame I missed the last three rounds but I hope to have a full season next year.

I would also like to congratulate Geoff, Phil and the boys at BSM and hope to see you at the track soon.

kinda, you can't comply a rally import for full road use, but you can drive them to events, practice, shows, mechanics etc etc. Now the 15yo rule is finished the prices on 89-90 gtrs are more sensible again, heading back down to 400-500k yen ;)

One of teh guys at work was telling me about the rally car for road use thing, sounds interesting.

So where do you get these "unregisterable" skylines from anyway?

Any car can be registered as a rally car as long as it has a CAMS log book and has been accepted. But the most common way to do it is to import a car from Japan for Rally use. Full details are on the DOTARS site

Thanks for that info

Both Production Cars (3E) and Improved Production (3J) allow GTRs these days, I'm pretty sure it is national from CAMS not a state based thing. We've also had wrx, evos, mazda gtrs running with us at various times

Production Cars I think is only in NSW and National series but you have IP in QLD don't you?

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
