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:

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
