Ok.. its getting close..

Is anybody going to be at station peer around 8pm? If so i'll go down there and meet on the way to calder.. otherwise I will just go straight to calder and call somebody from there and see whether i can meet up with ppl.

I'd go earlier, but I don't get home till 6pm or so anyway.

I'm sure there could be a possible meet afterwards and/or cruise for those that can't/don't want to go to calder... would be around 11pm.

Where was everybody??!

Made it to Station Peer (no.3 basically where the Able Tasman was) about 7:30-7-45pm and there was nobody other skylines! Waited around and had a bit of a look, but still no skylines. Horus turned up, and we had a bit of a drink and things. Phat32 turned up at around 8:30pm and then Myself, phat32, and Horus cruised to calder.

Got to calder about 9 (bit late!), saw a bunch of cars run. Met Hotsky and ?? (are your mates on here?). Mostly supercharged cortinas, toranas, and the like.. although a couple of R33 GTR run 11's. Went to the city, lost phat32 due to parking issues (kinda busy being GP weekend) and ended up at Pug Mahones, where vickii met us bit later.. So we stayed there till 2 after a few drinks and went home.

Overall pretty good night.. no major dramas... although i cracked the hell outta my front bar at calder (time for a bit of a fibreglass repair jobby) when the ground jumped out at me.

I think next time we just need to co-ordinate exact times and things so people can meet up a bit better and have a more defined plan.

yeah..none of the skylines that I saw seemed to be flat shifting.. the changes were sloppy and visible.

Next one is 17th - If my car is running decent again by then might take it down the strip and see how much I can **** up a launch.. hehe

There were quite a few that got under the 10's but most were pretty serious drag-only cars.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
