To the organisers and members of the SAU

On behalf of the Camaro-Firebird club members who attended your Skyline Texi Skids at Quakers Hill today, I would like to sincerely thank you for the invitation to a brilliant day. You co-ordinated and managed a fantastic day, and even though we experienced almost all four seasons in one day, everyone was still able to get out on the track.

We may have produced slow times with a lot of tyre smoke but we had a lot of fun too. We were all impressed to see the way it’s supposed to be done and how well your members can control a car.

This will be a day that we will be all talking about for a long time.

Thank you again.

Regards

Craig Goodshaw

I would like to say a special THANKS!!! To the organisers, all the marshals and timekeepers AND the photographers, definitely couldn't of done it without you all. Greatly appreciated!!!

Day was well run, the wait between runs was long, but worth it!

Thanks to Ando for marshaling in bogan attire in the rain!

Reece, we need to battle/skid against each other more!!! I need to get better at both as well lol, oh and I'll have to stop getting lost on the final battle course!

In short, BIG THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well worth the trip from Canberra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:(:D:P:D :D :P

P.S. More pics please!!!

In the process of uploading another 120-130 images, not all are as i'd like them but dont have time to edit or adjust right now.

its a good 700mb so it might take a couple hours

They will be added to the same set which is located HERE

There should be about 300 in total when its done.

:P

Here are a couple of snaps I took during the day. They sure don't look as good in "postage stamp mode"

but here are a couple of teasers to get you to browse on Flickr: Clicky! or Slide Show Mode

Was a good day and glad to see everyones smiles as they came off the course!! Still cant believe i was the only one there in thongs to stand out in the floods and rain to marshall people on the skidpan during the downpour! +10 points for bogan attire, singlet + thongs = winnah :D

LOL I would have done it... But I was driving... And wearing all white so although the male company may have enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't have been very comfortable lol.....

Skids are awesome!! WOOOT thanks to whoever took pics of my car :)

And thanks to everyone that organised it, it was a great trip until i was 99% asleep on the highway on the way home, than thanks to Reece for driving my car and his girlfriend driving the renault whilst I napped :) life saver!! *literally*

Next time my goals are: 1. Beat Zane 2. Beat Zane driving his car 3. Drive Sky (reece's car) 4. Beat reece driving his car... Of course none of which will come true unless I am fast asleep and dreaming at the time or reece passes out and doesn't realise I took his keys :)

:D :D :(:P :P

I see you got a shot of me carbon fibre tripple guage holder in my 34 but none of my car :) lol

This You? (chopped the side off :P ) Tried to get everyone where I could, out of 550 odd shots im amazed that I only got 2 of your car!

We are yet to see the pics from Ian or Craig yet so lets see what they come up with.

Did you get any of me mate? Black R33, not andy :)?

Surprised there's no asshole shots from Ian or Craig about me yet... it's like a Texi tradition :)

Give it time, Give it time. :P

What a top day, i'm a bit sunburnt but i'm glad I chose to wear jeans and long sleeves. ;) So many skids and so much fun was had by all. Thank you so much to the organisers and I can't wait for the next one. The Camaro Club showed what American Muscle can do and did it in style. :)

I currently have 1024 images to sift though so I might be a while. :)

I personally think Lizzy wins the 'Plow Queen' award for planting 4 wheels in the grass. :)

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
