Thanks to all for another tops Wang weekend. Had no idea it was even on til Snowy mentioned it a few weeks back and I was already flying in to Melbourne for some quality time with Raechel. How convenient!!

Big thanks for the generosity of the Snowdaddy lettting me drive the GTR. What an animal of a car!!!!! If I ever find this ellusive EVO I will be happy to return the favour westside. Thanks to all the helpers on the day. A really slick run event. Adz and Ash, those wang burgers were the best yet!!!!

Did you finish up blowing your voice box James... Seemed to be getting a bit crunchy towards the ends of the battles. Great job mate. I am sure there is a role for you in an upcoming 2F2F. :)

Apologies Mav for just about having you jumping the armco on the long wang.. bit of a hairy moment.. :)

Great to catch up with so many of you again and thanks for making me welcome. Sorry I missed the Wang night out, but I think I might have struggled to convince Raechel that racing cars all day and then getting on the sauce with all you bad eggs that night and then being the enivitable broken shell of a man on Sunday qualifies as quality time :D

Look forward to getting back for another one..

Lol Blaise no worries at all mate.... just was hoping that it would grip which it did, so their was nothing to worry about ...

Thanx for the Burn on the Skid pan that was Great fun... Never been in a car going that fast in my entire life...

the buleen bar sucked the wang and i couldnt work out why they were handing out bottle openers, i only saw today they had their logo on them.

the yahoo bar was tons better

You're kidding. I thought the yahoo bar was a hole, no a grimy cesspool, and didn't help the bouncer was a powertripping c0ck with Gareth who just needed a little more riverdance time to sober up. It all came down to Gareth looking down into his wallet for ID with the hat on while the flog kept telling him to look up at him, then griping because Gareth couldn't find his ID so he said "you're out"! Whatever lights your candles I suppose but I prefer to see and hear the people I talk to. The girls just flat refused to stay when they walked in.

Surely there are better places to drink in town.

i think paul was more pissed at the yahoo and therefore anything and everything was more enjoyable!!!

Top weekend guys and girls.

Thanks to all who helped out and thumbs up to Chris and Snowy for another fantastic event.

I dont remember much about Saturday night, but I'm sure it was a blast.

Bring on the next one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. My bag is still missing - cancelled credit cards, phone and EFTPOS card yesterday - very very pi$$ed off. :)

love the trip and the driving cant wait for the next one where can i sign up now and pay the money

thanks to everyone who helped out cos if they werent there the day would not happen.

Great weekend, big thanks to Russel and friend (sincere apologies but im drawing a blank on your name), Nat, Mav, Leewah for helping run the back track.

His name is Ross and it was his first exposure to a motorsport event. The ride in snowy's GTR has ensured a future interest in the sport. He loved every minute of the day as did I. It was a pleasure to help out.

Also great to meet more of you this time and have a chat.

Highlights were the runs in Snowy and Petes cars. bugger... now he thinks my car is slow....

Ahahahahaha

PMSL Age - thats gold.

Yeah Brisby how did our cabin have a layer of water over everything the next morning???

Funniest thing was Ash waking up and saying "Where the fark are all my clothes???" - his bag was on the floor completely empty and Brisby was snuggled up on the couch wearing them all.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
