what a day.... copngrats to the Full Lock guys for putting on a top class event. Thanks to all that made it from interstate to compete, and a very special thanks to the Japanese D1 drivers that came out to put on one of the best drift shows i think i have ever seen. Hopefully with a bit of luck the D1 drivers will go back to Japan and talk the event up and bring out a few more drivers and maybe their cars for the next event :):) Did i hear someone saying they wanna run an Aussie round of the D1 Grand Prix :):D:D:D:D:D:D

Yep, awesome day. I didn't know you were out there duncan + Kel - sorry I missed you guys. I am soo p1ssed off though. On the way home my CF card just dies :) I had heaps of great photos + video and a photo of me with one of the Japanese drivers. Does anyone know of a place that can repair and maybe recover the photos off this thing? Just as bad as the photo loss is the fact that now I don't have a 256mb card anymore, when i put it in the camera it just says "card error" and I can't even take any new pics on it.

Sorry we missed you too! Try Fletchers Photographics, Pitt St in the city, for the CF card - when we got our camera from them a couple of months ago they mentioned they do photo recovery. Goodl luck!!!!

Thanks Kel. Apart from missing you guys, I also didn't bring any beer :) No one mentioned that drift nats was BYO! I saw three guys carrying in a BIN full of VB, they didn't even offer me one :)

On that note, Duncan, you didn't address my SAU newsletter by hand did you? Beer Baron indeed. I like it, now how do I change my nick?

hehe.

Did every one see the guy who ventured onto the track to claim the bar that was torn of the cefiro?

I sure did. I also saw him get booted from the event about 3 minutes later. Bet he was really pleased with that effort...

Richard

haha Kel did add a personal touch to some of the newsletters lol

we did see you there richard but were in the queue for health food and didn't want to miss out :D

next time the club needs a stand and banner

Fo' shizzle. Also, whover came up with the idea of battering, then deep frying hotdogs is a bloody smart guy. Must have been Australian. :D

I was there driving the purple/black Hyperdrive Motorsport Sil80.

Unfortunately the Jap that borrowed it for the D1 show proved just how crap I was in it.

To jump in a strange car and within 3/4 of a lap be doing what he did shows just how much we all have to learn grasshopper... :(

I am hoping that Ben Ellis lets me have a copy of the incar so I can see how he did it...

Cheers

Ken.

PS At least one of our team won the factory class :rofl::rofl: so congrats to Mike. :(:D

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
