hey all, what a great day!!

i had so much fun. especially doing the back track and trying to set decent times, a fairly unfamiliar thing for me and my slider. the skidpan was great soo much fun, especially smoking 3rd doing about 120. i only wish i took another pair of tyres, and didnt have to leave early to goto work

huge thanks to all the organisers for making it a totally awesome day, and im looking forward to next time

cant wait to see the times, as i think i ended up in the top 5.... not bad for a 31 drift car haha

at lunch i was 2nd fastest only to reece, and if i had of had more federals for the arvo, instead of the shitty tyres i ended up using, i reckon i could got pole. oh well ill remember to bring some more next time

There are some very nice photos taken so far, many thanx to all who did such a great job of capturing the competitors at play while having so much fun.

Hope to see more to come, especially of me chewing up a set of 4 day old 265/35/18's on the skid pan ( rego JET 959 ) :( .

Thanx guys. :)

Ps please pm me if I can get a copy or prints, that would be awsome to have framed on the wall in the pool room :) .

Thanks for the spin Jason! i might disregard the seatbelt next time :D

OMG MY CABLE TIES ARE FAMOUS! :D

NO THEY NOT!

We had to pull over on the Freeway, coz one of them come off, it's pretty scary changing cable tie when trucks come

flying down literally a metre and half away from you...plus i had no shoes on.

28 more uploading now. Should be available for view in the next 10 minutes or so.

Please excuse the shadows across the cars in the tracking shots :whistling: Next time i'll try and do some setups without shadow.

Oh, and I grabbed a pic of X's car too on the way past Lake George :blush:

Nice shots, Craig, but the only Volvo-looking beasties that you should be posting up here look more like this:

Aw yeah, I made Jay drive rest of the way home while I had a nap...

I woke up and he kept on revving up, hearing the intake, then stepping off and letting it flutter... must have been doing it for five straight minutes til I just yelled out "OI, knock it off! Flutterz cost money man!" :ermm:

I think he likes my car a little bit better then his corolla :whistling:

Good Weekend,

I have footage of each and every entrant either on the back track or the skid pan.

Await one hell of a video in a week or two.

How long before it will be out

Oh my god what a good weekend, i'm still groggy, sunburnt, frostbitten and snot-nosed but i'm still grinning about Sunday. :)

4.5gb of photos were shot by me so i've got a lot of post-processing to do, I tried my best to get everyone on film but if I did miss you I do apologize in advance.

Very special thanks to the organisers for piecing together a truly great weekend and for devoting their time to running the event and putting up with our drunken arses on Saturday night. :D We salute you! :)

Whether I run or volunteer in the next one is irrelevant because i'll still be there regardless.

Photo of the day from me.

See you all at the next one - sans big black cock. :D

Great photo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pfftt... Can we still put bets in for the starlet comp??? ahaha..

I will rig it so I win.. :ermm:

I have a feeling he will have done pretty well.. He would be in the top 8 that's for sure..

8th in the starlet? Two up and a big black dong for wind resistance, I don't think I did that well

Also a great big thanks to all the people that brought this all together, and thankyou to all the entrants for making it a great competitive day!

Had a few/alot of braking issues (Rear brake bias was through the roof) and should of got a good set of tyres not just cheapies (Had strands of rubber falling off towards the end), Still had a ball of a time, Can't wait til the next one :D :D

And one more thing .... wait till my car is sorted and I have some semi's :whistling:

Full frame/Graig did you gat any shots of my car doing a little smoke show? I really love that pic of my car on the freeway! and that you shopped the dent out of my bonnet in one of the pics LOL

Hehehehe I was wondering if you'd notice that :whistling:

Sure did. Im actually going to put them into a filmstrip style so you can see it happening as you look along them.

Then I'm thinking about converting them into a GIF and animate it :blush: It would make a good avatar lol

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
