Might I just add there are still 25 spots left because all you "ill pay soon" people never eventuated.

We will all enjoy sutton road immensly with more runs than we can count because we sure as shit are not coming back with the lacklustre entry list so far of 19

Hi Mick, I got your entry and forwarded to Aggrodave tonight.

James, me too, it's a good event, but I guess the club exec can't keep running events if they don't get the entrants.

Anyone wondering about whether to try it or not....give it a go, you'll have a ball :D

hmm, unfortunately it is looking like I will have a saturday afternoon soccer game so I wont be able to make it, unless it gets changed to Sunday at the last minute. sucks cause I was looking forward to it :-(

Brendan here - I'm the mate with the Commodore sweefu spoke of earlier.

I am in for this, and will get the payment and entry form sorted sometime today.

Thank heaps for putting this event on! I've driven past this track twice everyday of the week for the last 4 years, great to be finally able to give it a crack!

Thanks Duncan,

I can't believe that there arent more ACT SAU'ers interested... Everyone down here knows how awesome that back track at Sutton Rd is and how rare it is to be able to get on and drive it! :(

Was thinking the exact same thing. I thought maybe they think it's the skidpan we have rented - but I've been pretty clear it's the track?!

What time is everyone leaving on friday to head down?

Also, do you exec fags want me to post up the event on Autocult>?

Go for it. You can do an event coverage type thing afterwards too if you want?!

I'll be there around 2pm at the motel

Wish I could join but I am to worried about my clutch at the moment.

I was wondering if you still needed people to stand on the corners I do that pretty well haha

Would be more then happy to chill out for the day and watch sweet cars rip it up.

The mg club have it booked for Sunday....

They used to do (still might, not sure) a quarterly event there on the skidpan, as far as I'm aware it was never the track though.

Yes we do actually! Thanks for that, come on the day :)

I'll probably be to busy driving to shoot/cover the day. Kory the skirt is busy playing soccer or some gay shit. I'll probably bring down my camera and take a few shots but doubt there'll be enough for a post. If there is I'll put something together :)

POST IS UP. LINK

A few questions after watching that video linked from page 1 for the 200th time:

  • does that bloke get air over the crest at one point in the first half of the course?
  • is the course going to be set up exactly like it is in the video?

I'm keen to know if we are going to see enough straight road to get into 4th gear at serious speeds.

Forecast for Saturday is looking good! -2 over night...shiver me timbers!

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
