Goddamn, some fit looking 32's out there!

not sure about all these watermarks though, some are right across the middle of the screen and ruin the image completely. I prefer what this guy did, actually used the track signage to throw his name up, looks a lot more professional, the car is completely visible and if you didnt know your pixels would even swear it wasn't photoshopped!

was pretty happy with that. Think its my only shot from EC too.

onwards with a few other randoms..

True mate. The photographic quality that follows the event is fantastic. All the official pics without watermarks are an extra $400 (from memory)

Yeah that's why pretty much all of my Targa pics have watermarks - always been too tight to fork out the $400 on pics! :)

Here's some others of my car(s) I've found laying around.

And a good one of the last girl before the suspension was sorted!

3rd pic is my all time favorite - taken on the back track at DECA Shepparton.

Last pic answers the question I was often asked earlier this year.

"How did you go from being so "average" at Wrest Point to on the money at Targa Tas?"

Answer - I fixed the suspension! (Because otherwise it was the same damn car.)

I have a good one or two from that exact same spot at DECA in the white R34... 2007 Dutton was it?

That is a bloody exciting little track to drive at max attack! :)

I've always wondered..... what does the number plate signify?

You are so uncultured :)

It's the name of the dragon out of Tolkien's novel "The Hobbit" - because the old girl was also a fire breathing, money hoarding monster. :)

Have to see what i can find on my work laptop and photobucket

1st, My old 32gtst at the Oran Park Skidpan

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
