OZ GTR35

SWEET

All, I have a work off site meeting and I am unsure what time I can get off at this point. Worst outcome, I get there after 5 and have to line up with the masses. P.S. There is a car cleaning day at my house the weekend before, post up here if you want to join in. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=165180 Thanks

Great response everyone, your assistance will be appreciated. PM's on their way

There is a about 12 SAU Cars being entered into the auto salon on the 5-6 May, and a few of us would appreciate some assistance in preparing the cars for the event. I was going to have the "Cleaning day" at my house Castle Hill on Sunday the 29th April. Lunch and Drinks will be provided. Myself and Abo Bob will be there cleaning away, so if you have the time please drop in and help the SAU banner to fly high at the Salon. Please PM me if you can assist and I will give you the address. Please Note: Fat'z you are excluded from attending, you will only sit around playing pool in the Bar and drink the place dry! SAY NO TO THE FATZ! Part of the SAU community service announcement.

Im getting a few guys here from work interested. Most probably the following will come. Oz GTR02v Shane in our R32 TRKBCH Steve WRX Ralph R33 GTS-T Alan Rx8. Once everyone has made up their mind I will organise payment etc. Thanks

Oh Sh!t finally one out my way, I will have to make the effort. Will probably bring the family as well.

All, Hope to see you all there at Chili's. I will be arriving at 12 and be at the bar until 12.30 and we can grab a table or two and order after 12.30. Bring your car if you can. Thanks

No lies, he does have gay boy homo germs. He is a blue vein hunter from way back.

If beer b!tch comes, Im not going. I dont want his gayness any where near me.

Ok im making an executive decision. Lunch at Chilies wentworthville, just off the M4 almost the dead centre of Sydney. There is a large carpark and the food and price is reasonable.

I guess I would like to share my experienc from brakes I have used over the last 8 years. Im a once a month track boy with 30,000km per year street use. I used many brake pads on my R33 GTR, STD brembo, EBC green stuff (lasted one track day) and SBS carbon ceramic, the SBC were the best by far. STD rotor STD caliper. My R34 GTR was a different story, I went straight to the SBS carbon ceramic front and rear, they stopped great but screamed like a cut cat on the road for the life of the pad (9-12months). I then moved to the Frodo 2500 with Motol 600V fluid, the combo was maybe just a little better it was hard to tell, but my hair line cracks in my STD front rotors opened up and I cracked a rotor the first time I used the 2500's on the track, Wakefield. I then put a set of DBA4000 rotors on, the Frodo's lasted 20,000km (9 months) and then I replaced them at Christmas. I did another 2 track days and last week at Oran Park south, one of the hair line cracks opened up again and I cracked my DBA rotor, same spot, right front outside. I assume the VSPEC II brake cooling ducts kept the inside cooler, but its hard to cool the outside. I just had a new set of DBA 4000's put on. I cooled my brakes down every time I went out on the track, and ABO BOB and I have almost the same experience. I might go back to the SBS next set just to check it out, but in reality, the Frodo/DBA combo is so cheap and do stop really really well. I guess its hard to find a road pad that last for ever and stops like a race car and cost 20% of the Nissan replacement part. The Frodo does everything except comes at a small price if you drive your car hard on the track. It must be noted that I cant drive very well and have to rely on very late braking to get good track times, my car does weight 1680kg's when its pounding around the track so its by no means a light weight. Unless you are trying to keep up with John's 300Z and you only want to do the occasional track day I think the best bang for buck is the Frodo 2500. If you want to really push the boundaries then you either have to start spending more money or understand that DBA rotors can become a disposable item. I hope this helps someone.

I will probably come down for a run. I hope I will the Stock R34 catagory, daddy needs a new ivory back scratcher, or is it for a sheep station this time?

The mean fiddler? I know its a bit NW.

Im only good for the 15th

I need to do 25000km this year March to March to meet my agreed FBT amount, and I have not been using the car as much in the last 3 months due to the new baby. In addition I had 5 weeks off work which also did not help my KM's. In the last 6 weeks I have managed to do 6000km, but thats really pushing is just to avoid a $4-5K FBT bill. Anyways the good news is its all done and dusted.

Thanks for the offers, but the km's are back on track, up and back on the F3 and its all sorted. I now only need 300 more by the end of the week and that is easy done.

Did that last weekend. I was at $outh West Rocks, I have a holiday house up there. Beach and fishing was on the cards. And I went to mudge the week before that. I had to do 5000km in the last 5 weeks. I only have 300 more to do

Drunken, 2/3 of 4/5 of nothing is still nothing!

Due to the overwelling response obviously this is not going ahead, but if someone wants to try on e later in the year, I would be happy to do so.

Sweet stuff man, thank you

Well it looks like its going to be a quite cruze then.

Yeah, Sunday would be a better day, but I already have something on. Sorry. There is no reason someone cant run another one in a month or so.

Had 2 change to it to the Sat, have a family thing on Sunday

All, Cruze has been posted up. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=159783

All, Im a few hundred Km short on my car's Fringe Benefit mileage. So I was thinking of going for a drive to clock up a few more Ks. I wanted to try a cruze with something a little different, I was thinking of a drive from Castle Hill to the Hunter, about 2 hours away. We can then have a wine tasting sample meal at Wyndham Estate. You can have one of the following meals. 6 White wine samples with matching 6 course food. $35 6 Red wine samples with matching 6 course food. $35 6 Shiraz wine samples with matching 6 course food. $42 For those who are scared off by the cost of lunch you can grab something from in town, eat it at the great BBQ areas and just have a free tasting from the cellar door. If you are interested please let me know. If you are going to heav the sample lunch please let me know which type, so I can book and advise which one you want.
