Howdy all,

Good day had by all it seems, few slow people and a few more who had a strange attraction to knocking over the cones!

Nah that was just me ;D

Had a blast though even though I had no clue as to what I was doing... for most of the day I was using the footbrake which as I found out doesn't work so well on a skidpan. Just towards the end the nice bloke in the orange XR6T gave me a tip about using the handbrake (hope the car's ok mate!) and then I was actually starting to have some fun ... sooooo much better with the handbrake!! Wish I'd come more rested and willing to ask for tips but was just too tired and wanted to get out there.

Now I secretly wish the car doesn't sell before november :P Thanks to the organizers and volunteers, twas an awesome day.

Big ups to EVERYONE who organised yesterday. Without you, none of this would be possible, and we would have all been bored shitless on a Sunday instead of raping the shit out of our cars :P

Can't wait for the photos... Kory, those look amazing!

edit::

hope there's some of my skiiiiiiiiiids, i know joel got some

Here's a video of yours and David's car in action.

Got others too but all you hear is the wind lol

Link's not working :D

Yes I got some pics :P, Yeah my 180 is the one with the red plates, s15 stockies on the rear and the blue battery triangle :)

WOW, what a day.

HUGE thanks to all for making such an awesome day possible, i know many man (and Lady) house go in behind the scenes to make ti work, as well as lots of people giving up their Sundays!

I was sad to leave early after only 2 battles, but had to see my old man for fathers day! Although he was more interested in seeing some pics from the day than seeing me :P

Thanks again to everyone, great to meet heaps of new people too, and see them all having so much fun!

Cant wait for more pics, some great pics there guys, looking forward to the rest. Cheers!!!

I took a fair few videos too, will sort them out tonight and post them up. :D

What an awesome day.. Thanks to everyone who put the time/effort in to making everything run smoothly.

But most of all thanks to Chris for letting me dual enter his ranga XR6 Turbo. Sorry about the tyres mate.. haha. Hopefully my car is ready for the next one.

To all those that wondered, GD2ILA drove home just fine. Funnily enough, the ride on the M7/M2 was much smoother on the ride home - the front tyres had been flat spotted from the Wakie day. But all those skidz seemed to have re-trued my tyres muhahaha :D

Of course I'm shure I've cut the life of the rest of the drive train in 1/2. :P

Hey to all you that have video of my White 33 GTR. I'll pay you a few bucks for them if you will shoot me a DVD with the raw video file. PM me so we can work out some details. Or maybe we should set up a video swap day somewhere. I've got a few vids I took on the day.

(This especially goes for you Mr A. Moocow - i want that vid of me Drifting the GTR)

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
