Ok everyone... ...I've hope you've got plenty of crackers because I've brought the CHEESE!!!...

And thanks to everyone who's PMed me about footage of you on the track and the skid pan. I'm getting to them as quick as I can. I hope this wets your appetite to what you're getting. :thumbsup:

I'd just like to ask that if you do post any of my footage up on YouTube in your own channels, (and you're a welcome to do so), please link to SAU Vic TV in the description and Tags and anywhere and everywhere else as much as you can. The more traffic to SAU Vic TV and the forums here gives the club more exposure in the wider community.

DECA - 1 day and 2 nights of coolness

Volunteers - Thank you so much for your time once again, Without doing what you guys do the day will not happen.

People that normaly drive at DECA and for whatever reason could not drive on the day and to still came up and help is a sign that you really do put back into the club.

Campbell - you are one crazy dude. :worship: I know when the results come out they are going to tell me what I already know... that you beat me in my own car... :rant:

Bec - The more I get involved in the organisation of these days, the more that I see you do for the club! you are a freak and the club is REALLY lucky to have you.

Ryan - Once again you kicked my ass, thanks for that.

For those who did know him that well don't know how much time and thought that he puts into these days and once again thanks for teaching me how to run these days well

Import Monster - Thanks for getting on board to sponser a great event and even better to see you out and amongst it all! Nice car by the way.

I cant wait for the next one... everyone needs do an anti-rain dance before we go

Messy Saturday night was messy. I'm still suffering from pretty much no sleep Friday and Saturday night. Thanks all for a great weekend and thanks to everyone who gave me passenger rides in the arvo :)

Was very interesting watching how early/long people carried the throttle/speed over the main rise into the 2nd chicane, with the dual entered cars highlighting how much familiarity/ballz with the car is important. 2 examples that stood out for me were; Ryan/Russ with both getting on the power quite early & carrying heaps of speed although Russ was generally more sideways/slightly slower at the same-time. The other being the 964-RS which was bouncing on limiter for almost a second going into the back sweeper with the first driver after barely cleaning the 2nd chicane cones where as the second driver who was still carrying more speed than most over the top, but with more tentative throttle application nor as aggressive braking/driving line, couldn't quite match the limiter bash into the same corner. Having driven the back track in this orientation quite a few times, it clearly shows where a bigger set of goolies are required to be quick!

Anyone who likes taking photos/videos I can highly recommend volunteering as a spotter on the back track, as you'll get some great footage/shots which had me kicking myself for being lazy :(

Glad everyone had a great day, big thanks to the organisers for putting in the time to make the day happen, no rain for the next one and more complexity in the skid pan courses :)

LAITH THAT IS FREAKIN AWESOME!! Shared and linked :)

Thanks... ...It's just a template "trailer"...

I think I got the best spot for the Long Wang right away... ...I could zoom in on the start... ...Get people coming over and down the hill... ...then coming out of the back and into the chicane... ...And at a distance the basketball court and the finish...

As for the skid pan... ...My first choice wasn't so good because as the sun came down the cars all turned black... >_< ...But once around the other side it looks so much better...

Thanks for putting this on guys. It was a good day and was fun seeing what some of the other cars can do. I wasnt really focused on times, more just having some fun so took the oppertunity to step it out as much as possible :P

A small clip i put together last night for shits'n'giggles :

Cheers, Joe

I quite enjoyed the wet skidpan in the morning.

Added a totally different challenge to it all, I was very impressed with the AD08s and how they were totally predictable in the wet when sliding a GTR. Quite surprising indeed.

Wow that was fast.

And from that you can see the impact the wet had on the guys on the skid pan in the morning.

good for me tho ;)

Ryan awesome job, even with the bad conditions u guys had to come out on top is a great drive.

Massive thanks to all involved! Will expand on this tomorrow when I can get on a PC and off my iPhone.

As for the results, whoever said Supras were at home in the water weren't wrong! I think i just need more balls when it comes to the wangs, they let my score down terriably.

didn't place too badly with the way i was sliding around lol

car definitely did not like the long wang in the wet, the only spot it liked on the long wang was the basketball court lol

I hope someone got video of the last time I did the long wang. I had 2 big corrections going over the hill. Would be good to watch.

Ryan have you got it on the go-pro?

Summary of my day was wet = sucked balls... dry = had heaps of fun in Ryans car. Long wang runs were the highlight. :)

Thanks Aaron from import monster for making the day possible and for being a good bloke and to Reon, Bec, Ryan, Anna and all volunteers.

Looking at the results, currently the more people wrong direction, the penalty points incured by any driver are significantly reduced as compared to cone strike or missed start elsewhere.

Net result seems that the more complex or slippery it is, the less impact that that course will have on the events outcome.

Not sure how one can score higher with a WD than someone with a single cone strike ...

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.

      Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
