Hell, I ran a mid 12 with a hole in my radiator and no belts!! lol

Way to wieght reduce :thumbsup:

I would like to see half the team back up events to show a vechicles versatility and the other half dedicated discipline to show what can be done with a certain vehicle in a certain discipline

Problem with half the team backing up as we've said though makes things boring to watch and reduces spectators. Of which there were not many from SAU I'll add.

Would rather see 15 people get the chance to compete and show the best of what the club has. Also makes it more fair so there's more people involved.

Well I didn't even know about this event til the last round, would have liked to come see some of the rounds, and if my car was ready for the trackday that Monday instead of having to spend the weekend touching things up I would have been down for look see

The best of what the club has is cars that will dominate every round, and how do you get an invite to compete or should I say who do you have to know ?

There was details about every round in the NSW section before each event, seems odd you missed them all...

Haha, oh ok, I don't really venture into the NSW area much, my bad, I usually check my content and recent posts and new topics them leave :(

I do go into the event part fairly often though, was it posted in there ?

I'll have to keep checking for next years ones :thumbsup:

SAU NSW Exec team was approached by Nulon and given the task to select the teams and as i had some free time i took it on... I arranged both rounds one and two and for round three i needed help so i couldnt think of anyone better than our fearless drag guru Kat!

2015 will be the same deal, i believe that the guys that put in the time and effort to make 2014 such a great success will also get some form of priority when it comes to doing the teams, the event is not sorted as yet but it sounds like the teams will be smaller in 2015 which is going to make things even tougher!

The Hillclimb at Buladelah was hard to fill a team as not many wanted to make the treck, the track day was the exact opposite, it was hard to pick and choose BUT the guys that actually made the effort to represent SAU at Buladelah were given priority, it will likely be the same situation for 2015. All of the guys that competed in those 2 rounds actually offered to represent SAU in round 3 as well to back up all round but the decision was made to send some super quick cars to get Nulon the publicity it deserved for arranging an epic event, and also so we could take the win :ph34r:

The guys that competed this year all put a lot of time and money into prepping the cars and as a result of the track days some breakages occured (I even blew a gearbox prepping for the event)... So a big THANKYOU to all of them... And again well done!

Also the idea of posting it in the NSW section is that it was a club event so it was put there to get the regular SAU members involved.

I do want to add that it is easy to openly critique an event like this that is open to the public. But I applaud Nulon for taking a grass roots approach to come directly to us clubs for the event. These are real club owner cars that competed. It was very difficult for the club execs to select our team to represent us and there never is a way to make everyone happy.

Kudos to everyone's hard work and Nulon for taking the initiative to create such a great series. I'm sure they will take learnings from this year and make next year's event even better.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
