Fantastic weekend, haven’t had so much fun in a long time.. Good to see you made it home to James...

Troy BIG THANKYOU for your driver Training help you got me out there and pushing a little and damn was it fun... We wont mention anything outside of the track besides it being an awesome night... thanx again to all that came up and made it such a good weekend...

Hehe - nearly didn't make it.

Apparently in Soviet Russia, 1/2 a tank means 'empty'. Stupid car - big thanks to Mike Lowery and Bris for picking up some more potato vodka to get the chunky Russki on his way again.

I'm going to have a little nap now - but will post photos this evening.

Wonder if Aaron has woken up yet...

Great weekend and big thanks to all involved. Good to meet several new people and consume a fair amount of alcohol also! I have a few pics from the drive up and Friday practice I will post up once the number plats have been suitably disguised.

Very cold weather but awesome company

Massive thanks to Snowy for driving me there and back also, much appreciated mate :lock:

I would like to add most memorable moment for me was Snowy and I heading for the bottle shop on foot from the pub carpark only to hear this sound similar to that of a car at a world rally round. We looked behind us back down this alley between the pub and the bottleshop to see Blaise in his WRX going side ways accross the pub car park without the use of a handbrake followed by a plume of dust and stones. ;);)

'She'll travel half a hectare on a single can of kerosene' - I must have forgotton to put it in H.

Top SAU form as always. A great weekend ;)

Well that was another great weekend away.

It's not been really spoken of yet but the actual track stuff was great too.

Good work by some of the newbie's - William and Mavric. Matt if you can learn to drive like your teacher in Brisby then we'll all have plently of entertainment to watch in the future.

Was happy to help Blaise get the new WRX Club SM club track record by towing him along. Also since I let my co-driver for Dutton have a number of sessions of the weekend in my car was pretty good to see at the end of it we both recorded the same fastest time for the weekend! For me that was 4.5s faster than my previous best there.

Hopefully even more to come after the new springs go in on Wed. But fark me Frank was fast. And it was damn funny to look at Aaron after his session in Franks car. He was struggling to get a cigarette out of the packet as his hands were shacking! LOL. But I'm lucky the sessions of these boys in their co-drivers cars don't count else my finishing spot would be dropped from 2nd to 4th!

Oh - and speaking of co-drivers - 2 WRX boys are also doing Dutton next week. At the end of the day one of the co-drivers took the car for a drive and tried to keep pace with Blaise. Bad idea.

But once the sun went down the shenannigans were typicially brilliant. Benallia Wang Bangers are going to be a long term problem I can foresee.

Anyways.... time to re-group and think about Dutton next weekend.

Bring it on.

Oh yeah - the racing.

Sorry, was too busy freezing my ass off waiting for something to happen so I could wave a flag.

Smaugy looked much faster out there - very smooth too.

Some of those WRX boys push it pretty hard. They all sit on 3-wheels through the 'boobs' (especially the Evo VIII) and Mr Heskin LOVES his late brake points :)

Was a bit disappointed by the MX5s - but best sound of the day was a draw between the DC5 ITR and the M3. Love that NA snarl :D

Rahn, Go - Get to the Choppah!

Awesome weekend guys.

Had a great time and it was fantastic to have some new people along. - Hope you all had fun!!

Hopefully Aaron made it back from Benalia safely after we all left him in bed on Sunday morning.

It's also great we now have a substitute Wang drink (thanks to James) for when there is no Taco Bill margharitas nearby

:D

Only 3 days to recover for Dutton - its going to be a big week I feel.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
