Thats a truly amazing effort from Scotsman and Adz on the win! Well done you guys!

You guys' driving was very impressive from what I saw yesterday! Results show it! Good stuff!

Amazing effort from Ryan as well setting the fastest time! When you consider everything else you were up against thats really well done!

RMODE looked strong and very fast as well. Slides into the second corner were great!

Seeing a couple of the cars overshoot the first corner was exciting but very breathtaking! Especially the R35 GTR skidding onto the grass toward the hill!

Congrats guys top effort all round.

We've clearly got some highly skilled drivers among us.

If I'm lucky some of it might rub off on me :woot:

yeah its not so bad getting thrashed at Deca when you realise how quick some of the guys are... dunno about it rubbing off though, I've been in the club for years and I still suck :wub:

Well done to everyone, awesome results... especially Chris who I'm now dubbing Iceman (super cool under pressure and all that)... well deserved mate, you have been close a few times great to see you and Adz win it :)

Hah, don't tell me that Nick, I need all the help I can get!

Also big thumbsup to Ryan mixing it up and pulling off some awesome times.

You'll have to PM me and tell me what's done to that SilEighty, she must be a bit of a weapon (or maybe you're The Stig?)

What a great weekend! Big thanks to all the guys and girls who came down to support us and thanks for all the kind words. Another thanks to Mick from Micolour who co drived with me, we had a fantastic set up which landed us 2nd in club class.

Congrats to Chris and Norton on their big win, the pressure was too much for some and it showed when their machines couldnt take it anymore and had to go home early on trailers. those whos stayed got yet another whooping from the GTR!

As for our weekend, we can hardly say we had no problems, however, there was no stage that we didnt go 100% on. Friday night saw us replacing the diff in the Hotel Basement carpark because it was causing big viabrations over 200clicks. A couple of hours and a few cans later and it was ready to go again. Thanks to Shane for the Diff, being another 2way it was like we never changed it.

After Day 2 at Lang Lang we had a couple of little problems to fix. The short shifter was held together with 1 out of 4 bolts which was also loose. if it had also come out it would have been back to melb to fix which would have been extremely shit, thankfully we caught that in time. Day 3 was relatively flawless. Nothing broke and we managed to climb back into second place behind vins factory built STI weapon.

As for the car dan, hsd coilovers, 2860rs turbo, pfc, a few suspension arms and a 324mm brake upgrade and a 2way. plus coolers, a race seat and a half cage. The tyres are also a biggie. AO50s are incredible.

Well done to the young guns - you too can now have a cool little note in your forum signature :P

Impressive stuff from Frisey too.

Was a fun weekend - I've discovered the R35 is far to big for anything but circuit work but it was good fun playing around in anyway since we destroyed the rubber on SMAUG in 5mins at PI. It's a good little toy.

The headbutt machine was tops too! :P

What a weekend! It was great!

Congrats to Chris and Adz for taking it all out!

And Adz... What happened to 'No I don't have a speech prepared' haha.

Ryan and Mick well done boys. Frieken awesome work. 2nd in club class is crazy.

Bris. Wicked fun with ya mate. 1st and second in our class! Even if there were only 3 in it! haha.

Car was so solid all weekend. Thanks Mat and ace workshop.

Snowy and Blaise. You're car is too fat haha.

This event really wouldn't be as much fun without the awesome crew that we had there. You're all legends!

Oh yeah... RB20 POWAH!!! Gotta love those crate engines.

Thanks guys.

Was good to get the win under the belt.

Now I need to figure out, what next?

Great job by Ryan at haunted hills, it must have been a smoking lap to be quickest out there.

My car is a little worse for wear and in need of a clutch and probably a diff amungst other little things. But she hung in there right till the end and was fast even when we were driving conservativly.

I didn't think the coverage would be of interest to the average Today audience... housewives, the elderly and people who have absolutely nothing to do so end up watching tv at 9am

Agreed but its the Karl factor :D

Now I need to figure out, what next?

Unless you want to take on the tarmac rallies which involves big $$ in terms of setting your beast up for it I'm not sure there is too much else in that segment.....maybe think of doing Duttons in other states?

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
