Hi all

I would also like to thank everyone for being so nice and tolerant of me and the big blue taxi. I've always wanted to have a go and this time did it. What a hoot! Absolutely stuffed by the time I went home. Thanks for the organisers they did a great job. I would certainly like to tag along again.

Cheers

Geoff

You're absolutely welcome again at future ones!

Thanks mate! They look great!

Guys (and girls), whatever Steve-O says about the Sutton Road facility, I can vouch for - it is an AWESOME venue and will be worth every cent you spend to attend and drive at, even if we can't bring the price down much!

Be warned, though: it is a fairly narrow track with some areas that don't have too much run-off, so if we do end up placing witches hats down on the track to keep the speeds down in certain areas, don't despair because we want people to have fun WITHOUT the risk of getting hurt and damaging cars. Oh, and there were kangaroos down there when we last ran an event there a few years back, which made us pause between runs on occasion because there's not much you can do to get them off the road sections.

Back on topic, once again a MASSIVE THANKS TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS on the day. It gave us Execs a few quick chances to get out there and enjoy it as much as you all were too.

Yes, thanks for giving up your afternoon runs to time Nick.

Soon you'll all be seeing a new project I'm working on to automate the timing (still design phase though). More details will be coming soon.

As always I'm slow to respond, kind of like sunday.

Awesome day, thanks to everyone helping to put on another great day. Thanks to Nick for giving me a race at the end of the day. Great to see a bunch of stags out there, now we need to get them on the skid pan. Hopefully my granny driving will encourage them to uphold the stag honor.

Sutton road looks great, very keen for that.

And Steve-o I drive faster when the icecream is melting.

Sorry guys, Presidential duties (like maning a BBQ for 3 hrs) wore me out so I didn't have the time to do the normal videos.

This is the price of being the man in charge. At least you I know you miss me :)

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
