Is there a official thingie with the fastest times run, I had a ball I've got 124mph speed but old man launch skills, wheel spin or tramp take your pick, the best time was 12.334 so there is a lot more in it, count me in for next time for sure.

Might even buy some proper tyres.

Awesome day. Sure I'm a little burnt but it was worth it. Some of you guys were laying down some good repeatable times. I'll be posting pics in here all week, so don't be afraid to check back often :)

Thanks to the organisers and food cookers!

Thanks to all the guys who organized the day, it's was awesome.

First time I take the r32 gtr out on an event like this, was nervous but got over it.

My Best time 12.2 @114mph( mods: twin plate, turbos and 15psi)

My cousin's r35 gtr, was 11.8 (standard aus spec)

What happened to all the cars? There was like 20 cars dragging?

I feel so bad for the driver of that r33 gtst, I hate seeing accidents in skylines.

Many Many thanks to all the folks that put in the hard yards on these things. I know I'm going to miss a few of you folks that were a great help today but thanks to AggroDave, Ben, Sean, Sloane, Mitch, Liz and all the other folks that really helped out today.

Our sausage sizzle litterally fed an army today!

Oh, and my PB was a 12.77. Still having some issues with spark blowout on high boost and to be honest crap tyres that I'm just trying to wear out. I'm sure there's a low 12 in the car so I'll have to get back out there some time again soon.

what a great bunch of rev heads and a top day. thanks to all who organised the day.

gee what fun wearing leathers on a day like today.

i was pretty pleased during my 35 runs, i managed to knock off about 7, 10.2 @140mph on the R1

the clutch seems difficult to master, i either got wheel spin, bogged down and on a few passes just perfect.

im sure its got a 9 in it with a good rider.

thanks again to all and i will be at the next one forsure......... great value

Great day and some nice cars out there!!

Did 9 runs then called it a day as the clutch was telling me to ease up :/

Managed a best of 12.001 @ 116.09mph 60ft 1.748 on my 7th run, so didn't need an andra licence! :D

Another fantastic event organised by SAU:NSW. Well done to all involved.

I had 10 runs in the first hour then enjoyed the BBQ. Then I managed 22 runs in the last 1.5 hours :) Could have run 70 times if I wanted to, but I couldnt be bothered with the heat. :D

At one point I could swear I was circuit racing!

So much value for money ;) When's the next one??

I don't think any car got into the 10's either...maybe next time ;)

great day! thanks to all the organisers for making it run so smoothly! got to meet some new people and put some faces to names! just got to get my nugget running right to enter next time.

anyway here are some teaser photos from the day, will post all 200 of them tomorrow at work so stay tuned on my website www.rodriguesphotography.com tomorrow:

What you found a corner? :P

didnt show as i didnt figure there was much point with an underpowered stock R33 but it sure sounds like you guys had a blast, might have to check in on the next one. how many of these do you have a year?

oh and spitting chips i missed out on a free snag >_<

was a good day! and always glad to help!! :D

was a great view from the commentary box! some great cars and glad every one had fun! :)

i really need to fix my car so i can do these events... but till then will help out!

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
