that would be a 1.37.8 (2nd outright) excellent time for one Mr Mark Berry?

And we do have some pic of Stuart's 33 (and some better pics of all SAU-ers :P) floating around on that new high tech camera...

if only i could work out how to actually download them...

yeah, 1.37.8 was fantastic! but we were still battling a few little problems and mainly just trying out some different tyres etc. with a set of new softs on it would go quicker and with the few little issues ironed out even quicker again. Mark said on saturday he reckoned with it all going well a 36 would be do-able and having seen how he did the 37 I would say maybe even a 35 or better would be possible. imagine how it would go on a set of good slicks. a car like this would really benefit from slicks as it's still on tiny 265/18inch yokohama A050 semi slicks. they are doing a very good job though to get that much power and that much car around the track. guys run tyres that big or bigger on mild-ish evo etc!

the white radical was pretty cool. it must have about 1hp/kg power to weight ratio with the V8 in it. it does 1:28s though so it's a whole other ball game from cars like marks. and it should be I guess being a purpose built LMP style race car vs a road car mark built himself. :devil:

it was good to see lots of SAU guys doing well. Neil did well in the radical, and duncan did really well to be just 2 10ths of neils radical! that is insane considering duncan drives his home and it's on semis vs slicks! just goes to show the potential in the R35. Marek did really well too.

I didn't get to see much of Inwoods R33 but it looked quick out there and was obviously doing well. good stuff. and I spoke to another couple of guys with a white GTST that had come down from newcastle. it was their first skyline just recently purchased and they seemed to be enjoying it.

Well what a fun and interesting day,,,It didn't start very well,,,but it ended up just fine. Lots of work to do,,,I have a list a mile long but we got through the day and we went quicker basically every session.

I beleive the "Raceworx" hoodoo is now null and void.

Massive THANKS to my pit crew who worked tirelessly all day.

The 1st lady who as usual polished the whole car,,,cleaned my helmet ect and looked after me and our tummys all day.

Kel and Duncan what can I say but a HGE thank you. I even got in trouble for trying to refuel the car and spilling it,,,Sorry Kel.

Congrats have to go the GTR's,,,Mark,,,Stuart,,,Duncan and Marek,,,all in the top 10. Well done boys. If it wasn't for that pesky Radical SR8,,,Mark would been outright winner!!!.

If you need to know what an SR8 is running,,,heres a quick little run down:-

1/ Basically two Suzuki hayabusa engines mated together to make a V8.

2/ Dry sumped of course.

3/ Paddle shift with auto blip down the gearbox and the same as me flat shift up the box.

4/ Basically F3 rubber,,,tyre warmed,,,thats sucks.

5/ Weight,,,if mine is 510 kilo's then it can't weigh more than 650.

Oh what about the camera work,,,nice indeed. Looks like the new camera set-up works a treat.

Neil.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
