Hey Ciaron thanks for posting some meet up details. Will see you there from 6.

Also to those that ate coming I might suggest bringing an umbrella, chair and maybe picnic mat.

Be sure and wear you SAU gear if you have it cause we are representing the club.

See you all there. Should be a great

day out.

Being such kind folk...

Should we bring along tools for WRX,EVO and other teams to use like Made In China SAE sockets with hairline cracks, jack stands with small feet that'll readily sink in soft wet soil, sun-damaged cable ties, pre-cross-cut gaffa tape etc?

I haven't felt so mole-like since I was in HS.

I've picked the Esky & drinks from the trailer, but I'm not sure if Ill be able to make it up on the day.

Cans are packed in a plastic tub & a milk crate; esky is empty, clean & dry.

If I can't make it, I can drop everything around to Terry, & he may be able to take it up?

I'll see tonight/early tomorrow if I can make it; would really like to be there. :/

If it fits in the EVO, I can take it. If...

Matt may not be able to make it. If not > Car pool?

Desmond, NULON approached several car clubs - initially the Execs - asking if that respective car club would be willing to pit itself with 'their finest' against 'the finest' of other clubs.

In this case, their are three modules put forward by NULON.

1) Hillclimb

2) Drags

3) Track

Very nice! Actually i have joined up and paid about 2 weeks ago - but Shell is about to be Mummy so no rush =)

I used to do quite a bit of Autocrossing and Time Attacks in Malaysia previously and clock pretty good times in Sepang International Circuit with a Tuned Starlet Turbo..

I have been contemplating and also thinking about looking at competing again - for fun - Finally got a GTR in my life and i really would like to see how she runs and how it is when she runs hard... In Malaysia it would be a lot easier for me... i know quite a few nice driving roads and i used to go weekly - in NSW i dont know as i only just moved over permanently last September... Been going to Galston Gorge for some drives, but just to familiarize the GTR a bit, i live about 10 min away.

So yeah... will be nice to give it a try and have some nice runs... hence the curiosity.. lol

Thanks for replying so quickly guys!

That's good!

See you soon for our next Texi & Track Events when they're posted :)

I actually cant wait... the GTR is very different from all the other cars i have competed with in Malaysia.. very... LOL but yeah - learning curve, always a learning curve...

Just a quick question - what are the requirements to compete in a competition like this? These kind of hillclimbs or even Autocrossing in NSW / Australia? Just would like to understand more.

Hey mate, once you get into the super secret member's section, there is a club club motorsport thread to check out. This particular event is a little different, but generally hillclimbs are regular, accessible, and excellent fun :)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
