All I know is that last deca everything felt right for me, SO I'm happy either way.

Courses are improving everytime. Mini Wang was more fun than I thought all in all excellent work guys.

All in all great day

Just a suggestion, why don't the organisers hold off on these results till the Awards night.

No doubt the winners of the day are already attending and it will also mean that the overall trophies will be a surprise for most (well some of them at least!!)

How do people know if they need to come along to pickup something? :)

Bit harsh to "make" people come just to find out.

Plus if we don't let people know, then we end up having to post/send out trophies to people for the next 6 months, infact i think we've still got some from 12 months ago that people haven't claimed/dont respond :closedeyes:

Didn't know that SAU meetings were places people pickup Ash, interesting concept ...

By your own statement some people wont come even if they do know they need to be there. Would have thought you guys had a policy of recycling trophies if said peoples can't be bothered collecting them, seems more appropriate than hanging onto them in the hope that they eventually show up.

I was primarily suggesting it for the 'benefit' of those that probably know they're in the running for awards and thus will be attending anyway, plus wasn't there some mention of free food being involved, that always gets the natives excited ...

Well we also do give people a "nudge" and tell them they "should" come along.

The general populace however usually do not know who has won what for a lot of the other awards (Club awards, MSport etc) and there are always other people that that come just because its a good social night irrespective of awards or not.

So its sorta a secret, but sorta not - depending on where you sit in among it all. Works best for us and our members as Dec meeting always has 80+ people usually.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
