Yeah it was a great day. Sorry for the people I didn't introduce myself too. I missed you fatz. Unfortunately early in the afternoon my oil feed to my turbo cracked :) So I had to hire a trailer, and a ute to tow it, plus I then had to go back to Goulburn to return them - total cost $400!!! bastards.

Anyway, I'll be back.

bugger Richard. not to worry like you say mate.

Speaking of pics. Does anyone have any pics of me? I know that I saw a couple of people taking shots when I was coming down the straight. Anyone? My friend Justin was taking some, but half the time he got the wrong GTI-R, and he only had a 1 megapixel camera :) BTW, mine was the black GTI-R with no plates front or back, driver with a blue helmet.

And yeah, it could have been worse but it sucks not being able to drive your car home, and until I fix it I have no way to get around. doh!

pete

Yeah, by then I was heading to goulburn to hire a car trailer and ute :)

Oh, well next time.

BTW is there anyone here who booked a place but didn't show (and didn't see Sam)?

Richard

hey boys, awesome day out!!

the damage isnt too bad, plus its a good excuse to get my vertex front bar that ive wanted for a while... its just the bumper and the front drivers guard thats damaged, no structual or mechanical damage....

the TVR is fine.. it was overheating, so after it visited the middle of the gravel trap, we threw it back on the trailer...

fatz, i didnt come off the throttle caus i thought i could hold the drift (that was before it snapped back on me that hard)... get any pics of it???

lol, "hold the drift", that's what i figured, you've really got to be keeping it going to get all the way down to the pit wall !

Good to hear it won't be too expensive:)

Now that all the adrenalin has faded, I'd like to say thanks to all the SAU members who cam and supported our trackday. You'll all be invited back next time :rolleyes:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
