So where are the pics of you Batsuman and Tarzan dude? :)

A highlight of the day was of course the drive...me not waking up on time and thus rushing to the event. Nothing like cold fresh mountain air - boost cruziiiiing :).

I stayed on 140 most of the way over, but with so many GT cars travelling together on the highway it was just too hard to stay under :). Justin had a bit of fun with a black Altezza ;)...so much that he miss the exit!

----

Me: what's he doing? we've got to exit!

Glenn: (funny fark counting down towards the exit) 500m, 400m, 300m, 200m, 100m...

Me: (fiddling with the mobile trying to call Justin, but at the speed we were crusing at, the exit came and gone before I could even dial), dude we missed the exit.

Justin: we did!

Me: OK next exit is Mimasaka.

Disclaimer: driving at high speeds and trying to operate a mobile is not recommended by untrained professionals.

On the way back it was painfully slow the last 15km due to roadworks...curse them for working on a Sunday night argh!

The Hakusuka was by far the main highlights of the day for me...f**k me dead they are so beautiful and so many of them. I'm sure Glenn will agree, the majority of our photos are KPCG10!

I'll have my pics up later in the day or tonight...

Yes very disappointing there weren't many RQs :D I guess it was just too cold...

Yes, the drive there was half the fun! I'm glad I could cruise out there with you Troy... seeing as it'll probably be the last time down the Chugoku expressway for you. Nice drive.

And I gotta say: Damn! Those old Skool Skylines RULE! :(

Dave, the Hakusoka are the goods mate...never will I see so many in the one place at the one time.

My favourite also are the March Cup cars...but unfortunately we missed the race. The cars were driven by many big time drivers. With all the cars the same power, it was only skill that can help them win the race!

Wow Rezz those pictures are amazing, glad to see you snapped a variety of cars that most can only ever dream of seeing, the HKS ZERO R and Tomica DR30 come to mind.

Great pictures mate.

also I see you met Raman Yamada, from what i have been told he is quite a character :(

Raman?!?! Yamada

Eiji Yamada you mean, yes he is a real character also met him at OAM ... Tarzan may know how to swing from tree to tree, Tarzan can drive like no other, but Tarzan know NO how to drift a work trolley :(:).

Exculsive pics ;) after closing at OAM!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
