Hahaha. I think the only point where I made that much smoke the first run through the long wang. I saw the finish sign as I was doing about 80kph and didn't realize it was a flying finish, so I mashed the brakes and then the tires in the process.

Very cool photos though!

What a MASSIVE weekend it was.

Huge Thanks to all the volenteers and timers and everybody who helped out at all through the day, with out these ppl we would not be able to run these days.

Its always good to see new faces out there and of coarse the fimiliar ones too.

I thought the day ran really well after some early confussion.

Big appluse for Ryan bec and Crossy for there super human efforts as always.

On a personal side , weekend could have gone better having broken a driveshaft on testing on friday, then driving back to melb at like 6pm to fix the car , only to find the tailshaft was bend AGAIN!!! and that the gearbox is not happy either.

So we patched it up with what we had and loaded the car up again at about 11,30. and then drove all the way back to shep , hitting the sack about 3.30.

But hey .........thats racing

Thanks to all the photographers , expecially Big bird, you rock as always. will speak to you soon about buying some shots off you.

Looking forward to november ,

might put some decent rubber on and try to push the clock, NO promises tho.....

Cheers

Tim,

Jarrod, they're awesome. You even got heaps of my little carsy prior to stacking. I'm kinda sad looking at them. Oh well, can only make it look like that again :D

sorry to hear that you damaged it... where did you come off? I've had a few clenching moments at deca over the years but never hit anything

Long Wang bites again.

It was on the sweeper.

I don't mean to sound insensitive coz I know what it's like to smash a car on the track, but did anyone check if the pole was ok? If it was damaged I should contact Powercor coz they may want to inspect it.

I work for Powercor and they often find that poles fail after a car crash although this one wasn't big.

Probably not a problem, just asking.

were you running anti-clockwise? so the pole on the corner exit? clearly the cars fault, bloody fwd power understeer!

scariest deca moment for me was going over the hill on the mini wang backwards... too much throttle exiting the mini sweeper... fun times:)

Not cars fault, always driver's fault :(

Was only a small dink anyway, enough to spoil a day but nothing in terms of motorsport damage :)

I think that's what caught alot of people off guard Nick - the sharp turn straight after the hill on mini wang. Too much speed and you ended up snap oversteering or slamming on the brakes and going straight into the cones :P

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
