yeah well done adam,matt and the rest of the crew from full lock as well as HPI and everyone else who organsied that day. Was an AWESOME turn out of people, i wasnt expecting that many to be there being japanese tuned cars etc but its a good indication as to how this sport is taking off in the country. great to see.

any1 know how bad Denzo got hit in pinky bits? Any1 have pix?

What happened with the banner? Was that turd tryin to knock it off? LOL sorry couldnt help larf when i seen about three of yas, quite solid build, ran up and intercept the scrawny kid, he woulda shit himself, and it was a pissa how he turned around and walked away like he just had a crowbar up his @SS. hehehe

was an AMAZING display of skill, cant say much more than that

 

B1 man, didnt see ya there ??? i was wit the sau boys all day :)

i was with the sau boys too....came in with them...sat in the group for a while, went hobo'ing around abit and came back to see james catch that guy..haha. crack up. probably didnt help that i didnt have an sau shirt on...oh wells...will pick mine up at the next meeting...cant wait to see how they turn out. GOJIRA!!

Sorry just another Q, Does any1 have lnks to info on those D1 drivers? Any1 know what cars they drive back home?

Where was that S14 with S15 front from?

Cheers

dunno about the S14 but u should be able to find info from the D1 Grand Prix site www.d1gp.com

was a great day, i was filming when they crashed but was waching it 2day and they hit each other exacly behind the bridge! :-( but i got them spinning out .......after! spewin.

i wona try dounuts with my foot resting on my open door.....like the D1 drivers!!!

(in a controlled enviroment) like i had to say that.

yeah that would have been awesome and im sure as the interest grows for it and its popularity that they will be able to afford to bring them over like in the states?

who knows.

i watched the footage b4 and was still in awe :)

Excellent day to be out. The privateers generally sucked except for a few like the shoddy looking 180, Catherine's VK (you try drifing a boat), the Porker, and a couple other Silvias.

The Aussie entries weren't too bad.

The D1 drivers.....Well, their in a class of their own, NUTZ!!!! I don't understand why you would want to drift a corner at 100km/h+ while waving the car door open... MAAAAAD!!!

Too bad about the kiss b/w the Benny's BMT180 and the HPI CA18 but as long as Fulllock keep their word, the fixing will be free. Dunno bout 140 degree water temps though...Maybe someone should have told the D1 gut to turn the A/C off :)

I've captured all my footage and it's a 4.6gig avi file so I'm gonna put it all on a DVD for myself. The D1 dancer was pretty cool too!! I got him strutting his stuff and stlyin to Ms Christina!!

    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
    • I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
    • I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door   
    • Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
