DECA was fun. I'd been 12 months since my last visit and it was good to be back. I forgot just how much I enjoyed doing fast skids in the 34!

Yeah I was told yesterday that Mark has a new blower on his little buzz box and it now makes some serious mumbo (over 300rwkw's) so that's not all that suprising really. Better luck for tommorrow Dunc!

Nope - they said last week that they ARE using Renault next year (basically because McL/Brawn said no to Merc for an engine supply to RB)

Now there's talk that Renault might go too. If that happens Red Bull are farked! And where would the big Pole end up? Suddenly with a big lack of top teams Kimi might have to smarten up on his pay requests as there'll quickly be more drivers than decent seats!

A guy from Vic with a stock gun metal R35 will be there (Mark).

Shit - Toyota are pulling out effective immediately! No more Trulli trains!!

Yeah I remember speaking to Mark Berry's folks about the stuff they went through to keep Mark at the front in his early karting days. Crazy stuff! There is no question that you need a lot of backing to get started in Motorsport. The easiest thing as with most of us on here is to keep it as a side hobby and get another job to support this crazy addiction!

I was just down at Merridian Motorsports (looking at something for the race-car) and they mentioned they just fitted one in an R35 and they mentioned they did one in the rear parcel shelf that you could only see the eye bolts for the harness attachment on. Not sure if the guy that got it fitted is on here or not to post up some pics.

You forgot to add: 5) We did not get any iPod/MP3 input options 6) We did not get auto lights or auto wipers 7) The Audio HD will only accept original audio files - you can't upload MP3's at all (so basically can only upload original CD's - because like anyone actually buys them anymore...) 8) You can not get a Premium model delivered with the Dunlop tyres that come with the base model. 9) Pulling the down-shift lever quickly 3 times will not drop you down 3 gears. You have to space out the shifts. 10) They should have been designed with a straight mid-pipe from factory!

Yeah I'm out for Cup Day Am going to do the Winton Open Day on Friday before DECA instead now.

I'm not worried about passing a medical. It's more the fact that you have to find one of CAMS medico's + part of it is the colersterol test which means fasting and blood tests. I don't deal well without a coffee in the morning!!! So it's just the annoyance of doing it that bothers me. It's like log booking the car. I got the paper work with the cage but I just can't be bothered with all of the CAMS red tape! Mind you our good friends at AASA are getting there slowly. Our club days we run with AASA have a lot more red tape and rules than they did when we first started with them so I can see the easiness I have now will probably come to an end one day soon.

I'll help you out with the facts that are just plain wrong because you aren't the only person that believes everything they read on the internet. This is not exactly true. The only reason you have to replace fluids is if they have gone above 140 degs C - or if the total number of temperature logs of the cars fluids is above 120 degs for more than 5% of the fluids life. If neither of those happen you don't have to change anything. This is rubbish. Turning the VDC off voids warranty for the time that it is off but thats it and there is no magic secret squirrel signal sent to Nissan HQ. It's just logged in the cars "black box" which can be downloaded at a Nissan dealership. This is only true in Japan. The rest of the world doesn't have this feature and here in Oz they can run over 180km/hr whenever they feel like it. (Police may argue from time to time however) The rest looks ok but I'm suprised you didn't mention anything about the LC. Surely you have some amazingly acurate LC facts?

ok I've booked at the Chalet too.

Geez - $99 @ Chalet is hard to go past.

Kel there is a couple more of us looking for somewhere now (we're also waiting on responses from MtBullerCondo's) so if its easier to get a bigger place for all maybe thats the way to go?

I'm still keen on Cup Day - but will soley depend on Mr Last Minute who has my car - so not sure how that is all going to go!

Well they don't drink in the UAE and they've heard the stories about Brisby so they figured it was just easier to tell him it's been sold out....

Hey Drunken - whats your situation with beds still?

A ZR1 would be super to see done propperly.

I read the docs again. They look great (on the condition you don't have an R32 GTST hey Benny ) But big sumps FTW! Also I saw in the newsletter the Matt Close car is up for sale. Would be nice if you had the $$$! Does anyone know what he's getting next (I presume he's building something new and faster??)

Both items sold. Thanks.

I have my old intercooler and radiator for sale. Intercooler is a Trust unit and has a 96mm core - $100 Radiator is ARC and has a 36mm core - $400 Both units have a few small dings from stones etc but they both work fine. I just had to take them out of the car when I set it up for Targa regs. The intercooler is also painted black on the front side. Contact me on 0419 375 140 or via PM

a now broken one - and it was taken at the Time Attack day held in Oct (1 lap sprints)

Digging up on old thread because I came across this pic from Mallala a few weeks back. 0WD FTL!
