Hi, anyone interested in a meet-up to go out to the drags on Saturday either meet at my place (if you know me & where I live) at 9:30am, or near the new Hungry Jacks at Ingle Farm Shopping Centre at 9:45am. Racing is 'supposed' to start at 10am, but NEVER does - so if we leave Ingle Farm at 10am we should be there for the start of racing.

Who's interested? Any objections to the time?

yep cnr Walkleys and Montague Rds

Does anyone know what time the drags finish? I am actually thinking if the finals go well into the night, then maybe we do want to go early afternoon - I don't really want to be there for 12 hours solid!

yeah went well into the night the last few years.

i would be there for 12hours, but am more than happy if guys want to hang around for me and mel to meet up before heading out.

I don't mind missing some of the earlier action if it means a bit more snooze time on Sat morn! :( But i dunno how packed it gets, when it gets packed out at Calder you have to walk a country mile and leave your car in what amounts to a paddock, is it worth getting there early for a decent car park?

...and erica, we are going as a threesome, so if you can all meet up say at 2.30 pm then us three can join in. 9.30 am is way too early, i think last year it went until 9 pm??? Am i right?

Timmmayyy where did you get your express tickets from? I want in.

We'll be good, promise, no drinking from me... i'll spare myself the public embarrassment. :Oops:

Im glad its not 40 degrees this year and that its not valentines day either. Should be good weather for racing..

I entered last year and recall being at the track by 10am, running my last pass after 10:30pm and driving home near midnight! In the mid/high 40'c heat it was a killer :( Lost 4kg.

I'm not going to run this year (as opposed to my earlier intention to do so) but I'm keen to head out for a look. I don't mind going early or late... the only thing with going late is that we "might" miss out on seeing some cars if they have terminal failures early on. After my efforts last year 12hrs of spectating will be a walk in the park ;)

EDIT: Just checked the weather on the BOM site... it's looking good!

Friday : Min 15 Max 26 Fine. Mostly sunny.

Saturday : Min 14 Max 28 Fine. Mostly sunny.

ok new plan:

Those that know me meet at my place whenever they like before 2:15pm (will do a bbq lunch if people are interested), others meet at Hungry Jacks Ingle Farm cnr Montague and Walkley Rds 2:30pm. If you don't know me and want to come to an improptu SAU lunch, PM me and I will assess you on an individual basis - bringing bikini-clad chicky's to jump in the spa earns you browny points ;)

Is everyone ok with THIS plan?

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
