Thanks again for a top day Sir Kimbo!

Had such a enjoyable time and I drove the poor little girl like she was stolen. After 55 very hard laps and hitting 180km/hr on the back straight, all my fluids were intact and no oil was used.

Tyres took about 5-6 laps to get up to temperature and the new suspension set up worked a treat. All those hours of adjusting the suspension paid off. Now it’s time to decompress the springs for the street as the ride is shocking around the city.

The car experience no under or oversteer issues and was very stable. The stock 2/1 OEM brakes with OEM pads pulled up from 180km/hr 6-8 laps in a row – Not sure why people say the 2/1 brake setup is inadequate because the car stopped every time.

The instructor commented on the setup as being perfect and we both were lapping consistently at 1min30 but the old girl had nothing more to give… :cry:

Can’t wait to see the video footage and my 140km/hr spins on turn 1 :lol:

Awesome day guys, thanks for having me along being a Skyline dude and all but I had a BALL!!!! Cheers Kim for the organising, pity about my blown turbs but I'm getting a new one on Monday and with it a nice power boost of around 270kw at the wheels :)

I'll definately be in for the next track day so please, put me down!

EDIT: Anyone happen to get any pics/vids? If so I'd love to see em!

Sounded like an awesome day guys! Glad it didn't rain for you all, was bit worried with the weather we'd been having. I reckon I'll be up for the next day - probably need to get a few things done first, time to get my ass into gear...
