Second post in here for me, but I had top say this again. You guys did an amazing job of keeping everything on track, and ensuring the night was entertaining. It is by far the best SAU meet I have EVER been to. The guys in SA set the bench mark pretty high for a great club full of terrific guys and gals who are plain just passionate about their cars, you guys met that benchmark.

Sincerely hoping you can all be involved as a team with CSA to get SkyNats 2012 the same sort of hit the SA guys made 2010.

Well done for an amazing, entertaining and informative night.

Every time I see JIm, he has a different story, and is there anyone more diplomatic than Him? I don't think so.

Food was amazing, service by the Trackside staff was even better. Looking forward to the next one you guys run.

This was a great night and I would like to thank the committee for organising such a good event - well done.

The venue and atmosphere was good and even driving up from Wollongong was not a problem. I will be definitely be attending any future events at this resturant.

And sorry Chubs for not recognising you with your new hair colour.....

On behalf of the Rotary Enthusiast of NSW, I would like to thank everyone involved from SAU (NSW) for organising this event and in particular, Stevo (N1GTR) for inviting us.

Our members have not stopped raving how good this night was. Brilliantly organised and ran like clockwork!

I too could have listened to Jim and Alan - even Terry, all night!

Thanks again.

Howdy guys!

Firstly, sorry for the loooooooooooooong delay uploading the photos from the night. I've been pretty busy moving to a brand new home, for some reason most of the hours of my days and nights have vanished! The photos are being uploaded tonight. So check back later for a linky!

thanks again to the organisers, Jim, Alan, Terry and everyone else involved :D

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
