Yea Ryan,,, be out there some time tomorrow.

Just a little word of advice for the teams and organizers. If any of you have one of those petrol driven blowers,,,BRING it. Oran park are a lazy bunch of bastards and I'll bett Duncan's rear end the track will be filthy,,,especially the righthander before going up to the bridge(right in the braking zone).

Have fun tomorrow everyone.

Neil.

bring on the rain. it will show the men from the boys . but stay away from the inside on the straight . that wall hurts

Talking from experience are we Gregy. Is there something you haven't told me.

Steve-o sucked in mate No more rotary jokes,,,the cars sold.

Neil.

I want to know when they put a wall on the inside of Oran Park :P

I was *sure* I had tagged the wall at the day night meet the other day, but not a scratch to be seen. Having hit it a few times I can 10)% assure everyone that it doesn't hurt at all when you hit it at a very shallow angle (well the wallet maybe)

BTW good news all SAU NSW club members, we have organised access to the 2nd last Corporate room above the pits. So we can be warm and dry watching all the action tomorrow. Each member is welcome to bring 2 guests as well. Everyone else can either join the club or freeze their arses off :)

haha my rear end is pretty loose at times anyway. luckily gary helped firm it up and it handles much better now

bring your own hot choc pit bitch :P

LotusDave, are you the first entrant for the excuse book? By the look of the forecast you will still be more than able of showing the dattos the way around the track.

SAUers, just look for the banners at the pits and head up there.

Car tuned...nice 11.5afr's.

brakes bled...fresh Castrol SRF

tyres fitted...Dunlop's...mmm

loading the car in about 1/2 an hour.

and up at 4am to make the gate at 7.30am

all the best to the other entrants...see you there

Would have to be the best event i have ever attended at Oran Park. Awesome day out!!

Congrats to the organizers for putting on a great event :(

Big congrats to John Boston,Mark Berry and Adam Newton on their trophies. Top stuff! Mark and Russ should have got a trophy for bringing the 35,a trophy for awesomeness!

Adam(Adz) do you have a tuned length screamer pipe? Because that thing sounded angry :) Still cant believe that thing is a stock internal 25.

Chris (evilweevil),you were pumping hard mate.I have some good shots of you coming out of the sweeper before the dog leg.

Dave(blitzxtr) Was great to finally meet you and see that GTR in action,for 16psi it sure did hammer.

I wish i had my car out there. Maybe next time. :D

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
