I received this in my email... can anyone help out?

Hi SDMA members,

We have a hillclimb on 30th September and we are short of officials.

We need a commentator to help Dave as well as the normal flaggies, chocker, grid marshall etc.

Please help out if you can because if we don’t get enough officials then the event won’t happen.

From memory you get lunch, drinks etc and usually pair up for the flag marshalls, so you have help and company and a great position for photos

The good news is I have two maybe's from here now... anyone else interested?

If you want to know all about Chocking... just talk to Sprinterboy, he's done it before. You get to see the burnouts there.

Do we have someone who is comfy on a microphone to help Dave (Timespan) in the box calling out the splits, times etc ?

I marshalled at Tex, and it was shite boring sooo :D

Would put my hand up for the MIC, but have touretts!!

This won't be as long between runs and you can see most of the track most of the time, how about chocker at the start line?

Or relief chocker so the chocker can have a break?

imagine putting chocker on your resume... LOL

I used to own cotton pickers and used to pick cotton, put cotton into module builders to make 40' modules of cotton. Awesome industry... but I often wondered about the contractor that used to run around behind our pickers... his job was to (machine) pull the bare cotton stalks out of the ground and pile them ready for burning... but he was offically known as a "Stalk Puller" :D I'm glad I never had to put that on my resume LOL

Thanks guys

Is anyone else interested?

Could those who have expressed an interest in volunteering please contact David Yates 0419 614 144 for details on where/who to meet up with on the day, let me know if you need a lift or anything.

If you come out to watch, don't forget to say HI to us.

I don't care who does the commentating so long as it isn't Mick :) I can't imagine what he would say about me while Ive got my helmet on and can't hear sh!t, nor would I want to risk it LOL

any other takers?

Still wanna chock for us GeeTR? Sprinterboy (Justin) can tell you all about it... you get real close to the burnouts then :(

basically its on the start line with a chock on a long handle to stop the cars from rolling back for their starts and I'm sure you know what flaggies are. Commentating is really helping Dave (Timespan timer) by calling out the split times and lap times etc.

President’s Report – Rob Wall

Sunday 30 September saw another good Hillclimb with 50 entrants. A point to note is that many regulars were missing so with their return we could be getting close to having full fields as the year progresses. The message here is to get your entries in early. Also, with the increased number of participants, we may consider changing the present arrangements so that entries may not be accepted on the day. This is yet to be considered.

We were lucky enough to have some additional assistance for Sunday’s meeting and my thanks goes to Skylines Australia members for the provision of officials. This is an area where the Club still needs to lift its game. The day hasn’t come yet when a meeting has not been held due to a lack of officials but, without more club members coming forward, it may not be far away.

In this regard, CAMS is arranging for several courses to be conducted in Canberra. These will be held over the weekend of 3 and 4 November. Courses of interest to our members would be:

Circuit Course on Saturday 3 Nov - This course is for those who want to progress from a General Official to a Bronze Circuit Official.

Introductory Course on Sunday 4 Nov – Designed to cover general aspects of motor racing officiating and leads from a Trainee license to a General Official.

Club Chief on Sunday 4 Nov – This is a new license category that has been introduced to assist clubs in the running of club and multi club events. Participants must have a General Officials license and want to to be capable of performing the role of Clerk of Course, Event Director or assume a team leader role (except Chief Scrutineer or Chief Steward) at club or multi club events. Two members are already signed up.

If you are interested in any of the above courses, please Email or call Rachelle at the NSW CAMS Office [email protected] or 02 9635 1366.

On general matters, there has been some discussion about the discrepancies between points allocated to those officiating at 2 lap events Vs those driving at 2 lap events. The Committee has agreed to restore parity and every driver that completed the three runs at the 2 lap event will be allocated 2 additional points toward the Championship.

There is a Working Bee scheduled for Saturday 20 October and I would like to see as many members there as possible. Further details will be provided at the General meeting to be held at the Southern Cross Club at 7.30pm on Tuesday 16 October.

Until next time ……

Stay Safe.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
