Yeah from memory I did a 1.51 with Al in the car.

They weren't overly happy about it. But I maintain PI is a funny track in that a "safe" lap isn't that much different to a fast lap because most of the corners are long sweepers so you are just maintaining throttle. There isn't much in the way of super late braking at PI so there isn't much time to be saved in that area.

Anyways - I just know it's easier for me to just not take passengers at PI any more.

how are the Maserati days... do they usually get the full quota of cars? will an ugly silver whale be shunned in favour of all things fast red and Italian? (ie are they a good natured bunch or are they a bit serious)

I want to get back to Sandown and see if I can't better my PB, good fun and so close to town compared to other tracks...

HSV Owners club is at PI on the 15th Oct, must be the one Snowy is going to....

I was at P.I. on Saturday with the MSCA. A great day, good weather and no issues - apart from dodging oil from old Alfa dungers.

Ripped a 1.52 with a best theoretical of 1.51 if I ever get turn twelve right.

I heard something about there being a "slow group" at calder?

If thats true, i'll be considering popping my track day cherry, and I know there's another 2 that are in the same boat as me

dezz- there is 'driver training' for those who haven't been on track days before, basically you get somebody showing you the race lines on the track at a safe speed... Obviously your driving with the instructor in the passenger seat....

Does that happen on the day, or you just mean a seperate event altogether?

If me and these 2 other first timers were to do calder, We could just move out of the way for the faster guys I guess...

Yes it happens on the day, but you will be in a different group, obviously with other newbees...

That way you don't have to watch out for 'faster' cars trying to get past you...

A big "Well Done" :P to Aaron and the Stig for their first and second placing in the Skyline class over at my stomping ground at the WRX Club.

While Ben waives the wand, you still have to put them 'round the track. I'll be looking for a tow around the track next year as well boys.

:D

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
