oh

my god

soooooo burnt.

THIS WAS THE BEST DAY EVER.

Seriously guys, I can't say how much this day has meant to me, and I think everyone. These are the days that make being an enthusiast even more worthwhile. Fantastic day (although I'm still grumbling about the hardcore battle one, I got lost), great to put faces to names, and all round awesome to rip skids legally :P

Congratulations on another successful SAU day........second time the weather has tried it on but we pushed through it......but if you told me this morning that i would come back sunburnt this arvo i would have laughed.

I would like to mention what a fantastic group of people this club has and even as a spectator/helper today i still had a great time due to the great people around.

also want to mention that we have some very talented drivers, one of whom i was lucky enough to have a skid with today, and they are great people out of the car.

Bring on the next event.......hopefully one i can compete in lol.

PS Chevys rule.....

Melinda would like the thank everybody that rolled up their sleeves and helped with lunch,,,Steve's wonderful girlfriend Anna,,,Ando,,,Benh,,,Chris and Stuart,,,in alphabetical order of cause.

I personally would also like to thank EVERYBODY that helped out today. TOP job peeps.

I would also like to thank all you lunatics for turning up and having a great time.

Seems we all loved the push rod boys,,,cool bunch of people indeed,,,nice work Ben!!!. My vote went to the Firebird.

What fantastic day, thanks to the organisers!

one of the funniest photos i got was of my car sandwiched between these other two-

The GTR must have been saying, "cheer up little bro, you can go in the next one"

Other than that, i have photos of Camaro's going absolutely nowhere in the wet... but making the day an impression that will last.

Epic freaking super dooper awesome day!!!!!!!!

My first run, missed a whole loop of the map, second run clear but dam messy, third run getting the hang of it, and only got better from there (well in my mind maybe HAHAHA)

Took some pics and videos but turns out i had some crap on my camera lense so didnt come out well at all. Love to get my hands on some other good pics/videos people have.

Great to put some meet some new people as always too! Cant wait for the next one, with some luck the rain might hold out for the next one?!?!?!

Awesome day! thanks for the opportunity to help out. Also massive thankyou to everyone for being so welcoming and friendly, great to chat to a bunch of new faces today and to finally put faces to names(and avatars :P )

disclaimer: i am NOT a photographer, i just own a camera...

I'd just like to say a big thanks to the organizers and everyone who made today possible, it was my first texi, and probably wont be my last.

My only real criticism would be that the wait-time between runs was painfully long sometimes, but i guess considering that only 1 car could run at a time, this is understandable. Other than that, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Good to see the camaros out there too, how awesome do they sound?? Not to mention that R35 :) *drools*

To be honest, i was quite impressed with how good my car felt while going through the strain and trials of my first attempt at an event like this. I guess it goes to show that these skylines are pretty competent machines, even if their drivers are not! :)

Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks to all for a great day,

a shame about the weather, but it gave me the perfect excuse to forget about times and do some skids (some people think I should just stick to skids but anyway)

Special thanks to the organisers, all the marshals and timekeepers, couldn't of done it without you all.

The only complaint is, my passengers seat was empty for a few runs, and same with some of the hypo cars. Come and have a spin next time, offer is open to all for shotgun in my car

I'm sure us ACT boys will be back for the next one, even if it is only 2 of us :)

P.S. I'll work on my 2 bottle hit trick and try and turn it into something epic (coins, football kick or something even crazier :))

I had a fantastic day as always! I accomplished my target for today... to destroy at least one of my evil, evil skid rims' tyres. A de-laminated tyre later and I felt my day was complete! :)

Big thanks go out to the volunteers, the Comaros / Trans-AM and those people who didn't just come from down the road :)

I hope more photos of my car made it through processing :no:

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
