Just by way of comparison (& maybe to give some people an aiming point) have a look at the following times from the speedeventseries held at Wanneroo in December last year. There are times available for both the short & the long circuits. :D

There is a four wheel drive class as well a heap of others.

If anyone has been bitten by the motor racing bug the next event is at Wanneroo on the short course in February.... The calender is on www.speedeventseries.com

For one, I wouldn't mind the company. There were only three GT-R's there last time which itself was an improvement...

Just remember, you don't get faster sitting at home on the play station. :)

Dont forget those times above will have been done on slicks ;)

You can cut approx 4 seconds from your time running a set of R-Comps.....

Um, it was Scott's first go & he was running on road tyres. Not sure about four seconds, but R compounds certainly do help your lap speed. Point is to go out and have fun. The SES mob are as friendly, interested & helpful bunch of people as you will come across. So get involved!

Was'nt really talking about his time specifically, but most of the other catorgories represent there would have been ;)

Most of the cars running in the Speedeventseries use R compounds. There is just about every type of car entered - the only notable absentees tend to be FPV & HSV's. Point is that it is a great way to get you & your road car involved in competition.

Having said that Gary Wests' F4000 Lola wasn't on R compounds - he used slicks to break both course records. How does 46.44 seconds for the short course & 52.26 for the long course sound?

I dont think Ill be able to keep up with that, But we think we know why my car was letting out some smoke so hopfully before the next event ill have it tuned and running Higher boost like to see how much quicker ill be then ;D

Official results are up :(

I could'nt agree with DJR81 more as this is my favourite form of motorsport and would love to get involved, but for now I will not be returning until I have a set of R-Comps.

Almost did'nt pass scrutineering with my tyres on the night, did'nt realize they were so bad, probably most of the reason my car was somewhat of a handfull! :cheers:

So did no one get any pictures...? :)

I was one of the non-Skyline drivers from the night and I'd like to say thanks for all you guys coming down. 1/3 of all the cars were skylines, and without that support, the night probably wouldn't have gone ahead. I had an absolutely fantastic night even though I only come 24th in a field of 25 (Only had an NA 1.6L). It was great to hear the sounds of the skylines roaring down pit straight.

Oh and the 1:02 from the Evo IX was done by the instructor, not by the driver Steve :P

It was quite a show one of you guys put on with the sparks from brakes :)

Leaning over the barrier watching your car go past was good too.

Sounded very throaty that's for sure.And looked pretty quick to me too.

Made my daughter want to have a go in her new Impreza RX.

Maybe I can talk her into it.

Having fun and improving your skills at the same time is the main aim.

ill sort out the footage from the roof cam and post it asap

cheers

Thought I saw a car with a roof cam there... :P

Heres some footage of Franzs 300zx going round the short curcuit.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
