Yep, I miss my eyeballs watering from the raw fuel pouring out the exhaust on the startline, and then my chest and body shaking that much my vision goes blury for that 5.0 secs following (well now they do ~4.8s!) ..... ahhh memories :P

Mate I just had a fantastic flashback reading this post.........I almost forgot the feeling but that's exactly what used to happen

Yup, never used to miss the top fuellers being in adelaide. Top Alcohol and Door Slammers were good value too. Started going when i was 8 (in 1988 with my dad) and went almost every year till they stopped coming (around 1999 I think it was)

For this I severly resent Bob Jane's management of AIR, and I hope this new track goes ahead real quick and f$#ks up his sale prospects for AIR, PRICK!

I missed that feeling, it's been 9 months since I got my last dose of top fuellers & speaking of which dammn Syd they're getting to enjoy Summernats atm. But, can't wait to see the progress of this moto complex.

Its almost worth considering an interstate trip with a few interested SAU'ers for an International meet one day.

I'm definately down for an SAU track day! It's so close to my place too.. i really can't wait. Gives me motivation to do a bit of suspension and brake work in the meanwhile.

Howie you back in the country

Not yet mate, still in malaysia at the moment... will be here in east malaysia for another couple of weeks before heading to KL for a few more days then back in Adelaide. So much has happened in australia since i've been away.. i can't wait to catch up on it all, there was a full page spread yesterday on the Rudd apology in the Borneo Post newspaper.

Hi people, There is a rally on for people to show their support for the motorsport complex ( see flyer below ) The more people that show up the better. Lets get behind this and support it 100%

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
