Hey guys........TOP WEEKEND B)

First up, next time if I'm driving the day after I'll give the wang busters a miss - that first session was a nightmare combination of trying to drive fast while warding off a hangover!!! That said the wang buster drink was surprisingly good and might have to miss the driving to have a social the night before :P

Secondly a big congrats to Bass for putting in a fantastic time for their first time out there. That first session where you were right on my ass highlighted the differences between our cars - namely yours can actually handle :(

Anyways had a ball and bring on round 7.....

got any footage anyone?

No - because the stupid video camera decided 1st thing Sunday morning to pack up and die!!!!

My position around the track was cool too - not happy I missed it all. The rain made for some nice sideways action from some people (yes Pete - you especially).

If anyone did get any footage though yell out and we can add to the SAU Track DVD.

Shiv: Hehe - no, we're not talking about you. Long story about Ash, his future in-laws and their jailhouse shenanagins.

Bec: I have a small clip of Snowplow. Will show you on Tues. Plus a rather poorly-lit clip of you guys drinking, and me claiming to be the bar manager so offering drinks to Brisby.

Have a whole bunch of stuff from last December's fun day too.

Still there were plenty of new moments. Ash "manwhore" and the offer to do three generations of Benailans just one of em...  :P  oh, and the death threat levelled at Bec.  :mellow:

LOL. Ease up... i had only spoken to the first bunch of Girls and the "label" was slapped out, i reckon i was in with a chance too! lol.

I just like ladies too much :)

LOL...yeh, but as great as these weekends are, and they are great. They are still primarily about going to the track...if getting hammered and playing up is what your out for, dont wait until the next track day just give me a call this Friday afternoon

I finish work around 11pm Fri night. I'm always keen to cause trouble

LOL, Adz/Bris... we always have crazy nights, how we aint been in serious trouble yet i'll never know!

Hehe - keep that number Snowy!

Will get a photo of Rachel printed for Tuesday - we can all sign it for her :)

Hahaha - gold - we should send a photo of us all skulling to Guiness and ask them for sponsorship!!!!

Our Champion Bass Junkie put in some serious lap time on Sunday, He had some impressive sideways action in the wet which as we all know is nothing unusual.. But something i got on camera hes going to kill me for... He had this Holden Commodore right up his ass on a few laps and then the unthinkable happened it got passed him all on camera...

Sorry mate couldn’t help myself…..

    • You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.
    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
