Well, we had our first official event, and it was fantatsic, we had an excellent turnout of about 20 cars entered, wide variety of skylines, as well.. from an R31 coupe to a 700bhp GTR.

A huge thanks to everyone who attended, and its great to see things are starting to pick up for skylines australia.

To check out some of our results check this thread

Hopefully some of the other states can follow our lead and get some events underway and show that SAU will be strong, calder park raceway was pleased at the support we had!

Again, Thanks all!

nobody told us we were meant to meet afterwards.

:D

In fact, nobody (including the Calder staff) had a clue about anything...

We weren't told until about 1:30 that we shouldn't have been sitting where everyone was sitting...

that the area was for 'drivers only' (shouldnt the drivers be in their cars??)

People who were with us were refused access to the infield, and told that they were only allowed into particular areas, and that was only if they had purple pit crew bands.

I ended up giving my purple band to someone so they could get back in.

There was no burnout comp which was a disappointment....

I vote that if we do this again, we do it at Heathcote. :uh-huh:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.

      The speed this thing starts up is making me want to replace my old one. Though my old one immediately kicks into reverse camera as soon as reverse is engaged, it's clearly not part of the android system. For everything else though, starting up, connecting to hotspot, opening maps, starting music in spotify is easily a ~2 minute affair.

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
