The official FD1 video is still with me.

There is about 1.5hrs of highlight footage.

I was out of the country for 4 weeks because of some honeymoon thingo.

Ive been trying to convert the damn thing to dvd with no sucess. I seem to be loosing way to much quality in the picture - and i was not happy with the final product.

Anyway im on to plan 69 and think i should be able to get it converted to dvd with practically no loss.

As soon as its done ill burn up the 30+ copies for the guys who attended the FD1.

Sorry for the delay.

The time has come good people. I have the final DVD's from FD1 (Fatz's Private drift Day - Oran Park 24/01/2004).

Participants of FD1 contact your local Fatz supplier for delivery of your complementary copy:)

(At the latest you can all get them from Fatz at FD2 on the 01/05/2004).

Sorry about the huge delay. Ive had to rely on a few favours from a few people to go through the steps of getting this to DVD. And i hate hassling people to get the job done faster when they are doing me a favour.

After not being happy with the quality of the video to dvd transfer i moved to plan 69. Its now on DVD with practically lossless image quality.

Its 1hour and 30 minutes of highlight footage from the day.

It is impressive to watch. Most people took the first few circuits nice and easy and by the end of the day (before the rain) everyone is carving it up.

If i had more time i would play around with the DVD menu but i figured who cares. So here it is.

Now i know what needs to be done i should be able to provide the FD2 DVD's soon after the event.

Cheers

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
