Also cheers to lil Dave for takin me for a spin in the angry CA 180, god that was a lot of fun.

Thanx to Chance, Luke, Theo, Manny, Lydia, John for the cruise up made it a lot easier at 5AM.

I had a great day, I was expecting to be more tired seeing as I'd just gotten in from Sydney but once I got in the car I was fine. I probably should have put my stockies on but needed to use the Yokohamas for the photo shoot with Joel at Lunch time. Looking foward to seeing the photos from Joel.

Was great to see so many girls entered and also great to see another well organised fun SAU club event. Good to catch up with the Usual suspects and the WRX guys that drove up to spectate. It's nice to see people not entered taking time to come up and support the club and their friends.

Can't wait for the next one, should have my new dif by then aswell.

next time do you think i should take the munro onto the d4d thingo ???

considering my handbrake barely slows the car down etc ...

ummm

hang on, i dont think ill do that, nope ...

ill be signing up as an sau - ee after i get a bit more of my car sorted out ... so ill be pissing off ppl most likely ... and hear whispers on "what the hell is that peice of crap doing here'

hehe

bring on deca btw ... i have a helmet, booyah

For sure mate! It'll be great to see the old holden sideways. Just make sure it's got a locked diff and you'll enjoy yourself. Just do it for the fun of it, because your car will be the limiting factor. Give it a go!

some great photo's there Wokka, nice work.

I really fried my rear tyres during this day, delaminating them on the final wet event, I think that was mainly due to that surface being a fair bit rougher than the big skidpan. I was in the 3rd group to go on the wet event an I thought it was still wet enough, but I guess my tyres proved otherwise. I was giving them a fairly hard time, I expected I would though thats why I used a different pair of rims on the day so I didnt feel I had to hold back.

I cant wait for the next event, this day was well organised, well structured, had great events for beginners and all the knowledge from the insructors anyone could need.

HUGE THANKS to all involved, organisers, instructors & participants, everyone made it a great day!!

I've got vids but they are on an analog video camera. Anyone know how I can convert these into digital format so I can load them up?

hmmm, if u can hook the camera up to a tv, which has a dvd recorder on hooked up to it, i beleive u can do it that way, but im only assuming :O

off topic but did anyone fill up in melbourne just before D4d and then note fuel economy once they had gone through a full tank?

I filled up in melbourne the night before and was empty at 460k's including trashing the car for the day (used about 1/3 @ D4D), interested what others got ?

Hmmmm I'll look into it.

Here are some pics that I took. I have heaps more but don't want to put up pics of peoples plates. What program should I use to black them out.

Check out the truck driver. He was holding on for his life!!!

That corvette that rocked up was very nice...

The one of Pete is just before the pop...

same goes for mspaint, but might affect the quality of them when you save...

    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
