wow great photo man, thanks for that! loved how grippy the surface was, meant you could really put the foot in and have a bit of fun :)

Wow man so many killer shots in your album, can't believe so many people bothered taking photos of me - I expected to be a bit of an outcast in my beat up 180 but really did feel welcomed by everyone

You're welcome anytime Jack.

Another one on July 15th - Calendar marked?

That's the great thing about SAU events, everyone is welcome (as you found out in the morning, some ribbing happens occasionally just because you're different but it's only done in the spirit of friendly competition!

Yeah exactly - bit of friendly banter never hurt anyone :D

I was happy to say the cab joke as I have a commodore which is basically a barge also haha. Mind you, doesnt go or sound anywhere as good as the blue XR8 that was there. Hope those guys had fun and come again

Great day everyone, been a while since i've been to an event however it was as good as I remember them..

Good to see you back at SAUNSW events :)

a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all the organisers, and volunteers that made today possible.

Yeah just some random R32 that showed up haha

Do you have straight cut gears by any chance?

Yes.. hearing the exhaust sound echo off the TAFE buildings was pretty cool too :D

Even a hookers Vag doesnt take it as hard as your 32 :thumbsup:

lol, descriptive!

It's true though, the best thing about Michael is that you only have to ask him once if he'd like to test a course for me early in the morning to see if it's fun or needs changing, or rip a heli. He always answers with a yes and a smile, the man just loves giving that car a hard time haha!

Michael was kind enough to take two of my mates (new to SAUNSW, one just bought a 260RS and the other is into BMW's) out for runs and well - they're both entering next time. Thanks again Michael :D

why, no, no i dont....

sounds like it though.

this leads me to wondering every time i drive it, how long until it goes "bang"?

Looking though OLD SCHOOL pics and threads for the upcoming Sutton Rd event, found this pearler of a photo - needs the caption "where the fu(k do i go?"

Anyone thats been to Sutton Rd will understand, here's a teaser, this video is of the facility (but we drive much faster of course).

Note;

-Elevation changes

-Camber changes (hard to see on video)

-Crests

You have NO idea how happy I am to be putting this on down there again. Strictly limited entry spots, only running this once per year.

Remember, we dont have a speed limit :D

Just sounds like it in 1st gear thats all, dont worry if it goes bang second hand boxes are cheap as!

Thanks for the shots x2 of my car Jeff.

You've got a shooter's eye :thumbsup:

You also supplied proof, that at my age, I can still park straight :nyaanyaa:

    • 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 馃槀 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.
