thanks for a great day guys. I had a lot of fun and got to drop a few skids in the xr6t. Only thing i'd change is that last battle, everything else was great.

Is there a list of times that comes up at all? Would be nice to compare.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for coming!

Thanks to organisers and helpers for braving some of THE most REDICULOUS weather I've ever seen! I'm burnt like hell from the sun and my feet are peeling skin from the rain. The wind actually broke my umbrella!

Thanks to UNIGROUP ENGINEERING for the prizes to give out! (Don't forget, afternoon dyno day there on the 6th of March!)

Thanks to the Camaro boys for giving us a good show!

Thanks as always to the Canberra guys for doing much the same, and the commitment to travel all that way for a flat bit of tarmac! :P

Much the same to the Wollongong boys!

Times will probably be up some time tomorrow.

Awesome day folks.

As for sunburnt - doesn't even begin to describe my forehead. Maybe Sunroasted, sun-char-grilled.

Its way beyond burnt.

Was great seeing some nice cars driven in anger :-)

As for the Camaro's. God Damn!

But safe to say Coilovers 1 - Leaf Springs 0

lol. good work today everyone, I enjoyed some skids despite the shithouse weather for part of the day, and it looked like there were plenty of people enjoying the skids!

good work from the camaro guys too, I think a lot of the courses were a bit tight, but man they smoke tyres and sound good.

Thanks to UNIGROUP ENGINEERING for the prizes to give out! (Don't forget, afternoon dyno day there on the 6th of March!)

Indeed, a massive thanks to Yavuz at Unigroup Engineering for the prizes we gave out today.

Also, a big thanks to all the people who organised and helped out today - as Chubbs, Steve-O and Doof have already mentioned, these days could not go ahead without your help and support, so THANK YOU!

LOL!!! :rofl::P

Had an awesome day today for a first timer too! Thanks to everyone involved for putting it together. Ran very smoothly! :P

Oh and the rain made it more interesting.

Good to meet a few new faces too!

thanks doof, might see when mats leaving.

I'll be at the truck stop just before Picton Road (On Mt Ousley) leaving at 6AM from there...

(Matt the rb30 breaker)

Are you bringing your trailer?

did you make it home OK?

did you make it home OK?

I made it... But the age ol' RB30 still has that horrid rattle in it...

Seems to mainly be when free revving and taking off, once properly loaded it "seems" fine...

Meh... That's what you do to $600 motors... I hope I pleased everyone with the effort... :D:P

And to everyone who organised, THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH, I don't think I've EVER driven my car that hard EVER before... I especially liked taking on that GTR in the first battle, whom only got home first as he missed the gate... :rofl:

hmm may not be a bearing after all then (although you bloody deserve it if it is :P) generally a big end is a rythmic knock that gets worse when you rev it (more revs = more load = more noise)

Yeah, it seems to shut up once I've got it loaded...

And come on, I've already done a big end... Or are you meaning I deserve it for such avid use of a hard limiter?

Great day guys - thanks to all the organisers....steveo, neil, duncan, chubbs, dr top bloke, ando, spanna and stu! (sorry, editted!)... top effort boys

glad to see the mighty 180 survive yet another thrashing! So stoked to see it finally running nicely.... an SR with no rattle... after 100,000kms...AMMMMMMMMMMAZING

oooo and thanks for my prize! Unigroup..here i come!

your car has a rev limiter?????

I call it a rev limiter, every else seems to call it a bang bang feature...

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
