ohhhh My good i spent an hour cleaning my car at the car wash with the mrz helping me thank gOD! heheh

man the grease took ages to wash off and ill see all the damn spots i missed in the morning was a great day guys i loved it we should do it again sometime iam addicted :P

apart from cleaning my car we have to figure out a way to keep em clean lol

but yea was great, its amazing how much you learn in one day and how bloody tired you are afterwards .

:)

I agree with all of u - cleaning the car is a biatch.

I still havent completely washed off all the grease. What sort of detergent/car wash liquid u using? I using some dodgy stuff and it takes lots of scrubbing to get the grease off.

Yeah i was quite buggered after that day - going 100%.... spinning out haha. If u guys are up for it again - count me in.

Great meeting u guys as well - had a great time.

The proposed date for the next session is either Saturday 15th November or Sunday 16th November

SAU Skidpan Day 21-09-2003

(Participants on the day may contact me to obtain the original 5 Megapixel file(s))

Hi Paul,

Have your pics been somewhat enlarged than the original size? Cos in the small format it looks good but in 800x600 they look like been pixelated, even though each of your file (+/- 80kb) is larger than what I posted (640x480 @ +/- 50kb).

The only thing I did was resize them from 1024x768 to 800x600. I think its got something to do with the el'cheapo 2.5x digital zoom and only 16mb to work with. I set the resolution quality really low so I could take lots of pics. At 2MP I can only fit 8-12 pics on the 16mb card.

I've only had the camera a week and didnt really know what to expect from low quality settings. It was only ever supposed to be a happy snapper anyway. Clearly a bigger mem card is needed tho.

Ah, I understand now... I think resolution quality has little to do with it. The culprit is the 2.5x digital zoom. Even on my 5MP camera, as soon as I use digital zoom, the picture all start to get pixelated. That's why I would never use it with lower resolution.

I've seen results from my bro's 2MP camera, with no digital zoom the pic quality should be good enough...

    • 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
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
