Wow, holy shit.

That was f**king amazing.

Even though I didn't drive in it, it was bloody amazing.

Good work guys, thanks for the amazing day.

I'll resize/upload the pics after I can move my arms properly.

I have around 2gb of photos to sort through.

Just got in. What an awesome weekend that was. My first time taking the car on any sort of course so really enjoyed finding the limits of it.

Huge huge thanks to the guys and girls for organising it, Chris, Bec, Blaise for taking time off work Friday to set the course and test things. James for almost losing his voice doing starting on the skid pan. Jarrod and Min for navigating for me so I could go the right way round the cones as the understeer was so bad by the time the car corrected, I couldnt work out which cone to go between!

Thanks to all the marshalls for standing out in the baking sun to ensure we all had a good day.

Really was a fantastic effort by all involved to make the day run smoothly.

Last night was superb and good to see so many rex guys socialising this time. I passed Bris as I was checking out this morning still holding a can having been out all night, the man is an animal!

Massive thanks to all involved and see you at the next one. :)

You're welcome :) Hmm...lots of sunburn... I don't think my excuse for taking friday off is gonna fly...

Who came third in the slalom?

It was the hyundai wasn't it? For the non-awd cars anyway.

Big thanks to those that helped the day run so well. Al you volunteers that stood in the sun all day deserve a big thank you from al us competitors.

Hope those that stayed saturday night had a fun filled evening, i wish i could have stayed but had other commitments.

I had so much fun, the car has never coped such a beating, my clutch is not feeling so good at the moment, but meh you get that.

    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.  
    • Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info 
    • It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings. 
    • Great discussion guys. I just have coil overs in my car right now. Ride is pretty stiff and everything feels very precise and accurate when hitting the corners. I started off with a high level and kept specimen.   the only item I feel I might need to adjust is my camber with control arms or a kit as I might want to tuck in my rims more so there is no rubbing. Otherwise I have not thought too much into it as quite happy with the setup. I think the bushings are all good still.    My motor is currently out now but I have got a nismo front strut bar to install. So that should help with body roll in front.    added a photo of what I started with before the modding or let’s say modernization of parts started. 😂
    • Thank you both, much appreciated. Yes, 6k miles, not a typo lol. The underside, engine bay, engine, trunk, interior, etc., look great and super clean, has all the splash guards too. Not sure if you can expand the photos, but the dash pic shows the ODO. She looks brand new, inside and out, even has the original Nissan TV/DVD/Nav head unit; still thinks it's in Tokyo haha! I used to own a '94 MKIV Supra, sadly sold it years ago, but wow I love the Skyline so much! The R34 gets SO much attention here since they just became legal to import last year.
