Along with everyone else, big thanks to the champions who gave up their time so that lunatics could abuse their cars. :)

I have to say, its scary how bad i was at those skippan events.:(..but if keep you foot planted you can somehow convince yourself that you everything will be ok, it easily ranks as some of the most fun i have ever had in the car.

So highlights...

Pete is the "roll back king" :)

Geoff loves the handbrake, Chris gets too excited when im a passenger in the car, lol and vice versa...:)

As a group of ppl going away to enjoy a weekend, couldnt have asked for a better crew of ppl, that goes for the poor WRX boys that we broke on Friday night, if Andrew/Chris bump into Adrian/John etc , tell them they will always hold a special place in my heart:alcoholic:

So many things to rave about...these weekends away rule , roll on Winton...:)

Note to self: Never question Andrews ability to administer swift and deadly punishment for challenging his Wang, especially when you are in a shopping trolley:)

all I can say is, I wish I went.

I had absolutely bugger all money to go up there - and I wudnt have been able to handle watching cars ripping up on the skidpan without me doing so.

Ohh well, theres always a next time.

Regards

Kim

shiv's car would have been an absolute weapon if he wasn't on cheater tyres making him stick instead of slide :)

What an awesome weekend! :P I've gotta go find a quiet carpark so I can keep practicing...

Big thanks to Andrew/James and everyone else who helped organise this event.

Good to meet you guys in person too!

BTW - I was driving the stock 05 silver rex which liked doing handbrake turns! Apparently it didn't mind lifting the back wheel either! :)

Cheers,

matt

heh one of my mates (Nismo32) got my reverse park into pit on vid, along with the lexus getting slid around... I have to wait till I get into work to get it off him and post it. Don't think he took any other vids. I spent more time behind the wheel than behind the camera at this event...

Lexus was an interesting beast, but no cred on the pan with an open rear diff.

Hahaha, it sounded tough as though.

Again, a HUGE thanks to Snowy and the SAU guys for organising such an AWESOME day, spewing I had to bail from Taco Bill's so early, did the service get any better?

Did Brisby find a bed for the night?

How many hats were earned?

Is everyone still in one piece?!

I'm still buzzing from this event, I'm SO glad I went - can we do another one next month?!

Benalia, here we come :P

cheers

Aaron (White STI 2 door) :)

Ok guys,

We are going to look at a Video, BBQ and Beer night shortly cause we still have most of the free beer we brought up to Shep left over. It seems we were fairly well filled with Margarita's on Sat night.

LOL...locked out? :confused:

There were rumours that one cabin tired to lock me out, but unless you use chains and padlocks, the average door lock can be overcome by the simple mind of a pissed bloke:)

And i wasnt silly enough to sit on the bench 2 nights in a row waiting for the sun to come up over the lake, the kodak moment simply isnt worth the cold now have:(

yeah I had about 1mm of frost on my car on Sat morning at 5am... must be that thickened hide of yours and copious amounts of alcohol in your blood that kept you warm

Well what a huge weekend! Soooooo much beer, fun, laughs and burnouts :P

Just want to say a Big thanks to all the guys who worked hard to put this event together, you did a fantastic job! I'm sure after the success of this year that next year will be even bigger and better if thats possible! Was fun to get the car out on the skid pan and for once be able to hold the foot to the floor and just spin :)

Sat night at Taco Bills....do you reckon they knew what hit them? I remember at one point seeing Baz (the cook) behind the bar with his hands to his head shaking it in dismay. Another one was Al asking the waitress "do you have jugs?". I'd like to say thanks to Pete for covering my Nacho's in "After Death" sauce after saying "hey Adz, get a look at Snowy".....I couldn't work out why looking at him so pissed was all that intersting. When I tasted my nacho's I understood why! Brissy I know how you felt after the F1!

Thanks to Brissy, Geoff and Shiv for run in your cars! All three were animals :)

Was really good to catch up with some of the non SAU Vic guys too, the WRX guys, Fangers and others too! Hope you all made it home safe and thanks again for the top weekend!

Photo's will follow :)

Yeah - we locked our door on Friday night sepcifically to keep your drunk a$$ out - and you still manage to get in at 4am and wake us all up!!!

C'MON - SARK PISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And to those who didn't come/couldn't make it - you missed the unveiling of the Team Wang Stubby Holder!

How long does Joel usually take to sort through his pics? He had a great one of Bass throwing water on the pan.

usually takes him at least a few days, he generally has a thousand or so to sort through, damn that day job taking up precious time!

I thought Blaise was gonna make the waitresses cry :P

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
