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

    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/    
    • I installed my link ecu shortly after. But car ran fine with stock ecu and r35 coils, just had the traction control and slip lights on.
