been trying to write this all day and keep getting interrupted by people wanting me to do work... how inconsiderate!

Big thanks once again to all involved in putting these things on... finally managed to stick around for a couple of drinks afterwards and just long enough to get destroyed by the locals at pool... Kalli and I had a great time chatting with everyone so thank you once again... you're all very friendly for a bunch of hoons;)

ps. that crest on the mini wang was scary enough going over forwards... was definately a new experience to tackle it backwards lol!

I know your all very keen to see results by the amount of calls, SMS's, e-mails and PM's Snowy and I have had today. But your just going to have to wait an hour longer, because I actually had to do work @ work today. I'm 1/2 way through the results now.

Gareth is looking good!

Oh and I think that must have been someone else up on stage, cause I don't remmeber that happening. :)

I'm going to kill something with all this anticipation.....

Notes from my weird idle.

I can't find it.

I don't like it.

I hate driving it.

Tomorrow me thinks she's going to the doctors.

Cos I'm buggered if I can get the throttle body or inlet manifold off!

Stoopid cars.

It is a day's driving at the DECA training centre in Shepparton. Courses are designed by exclusive highly talented individuals paid copius amounts of money, to test the ability of Vic Club Members. The group of 50ish cars are split in 2. 1 half do the skid pan in the first half of the morning and the other do the back tracks. They then rotate and by the time all are finished, the BBQ king is well under way for lunch.

Skid pan tracks are designed with witches hats that correspond with a set of maps given out at registration in the morning. Sometimes this is themed and has been accompanied by a themed CD (Top Gun and Starwars)

The morning sessions are 1 car at a time on any event with the afternoon congregating on the skid pan for battle sessions which are not eliminators (although have been on at least 1 I went to) but jus 2 cars up on identical witches hat courses.

Helmets are required for the back tracks but not for the skid pan and passengers can go in cars all day as long as they adhere to the same rules (helmet on the back track and sign a waiver).

Some people stay up on Friday and Saturday night which is a continuation of the day with dinner at Taco Bills, then the Yahoo Bar for drinks, followed by anything else.

One keyword for the whole weekend is............

FUN!!!!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
