good day out with you skyline dudes, must do it again, really sorry about the flat tyre, and holding up the cruize for half an hour, PHAT32 thanx for being my taxi, and to everyone else i held back thanx heaps for your help and patiance.

PHAT32 whats was the name of that place who tuned your SAFC, and where were they again??

it was a great cruise ill definatelyy have to come on one again one day

i had to leave early from apollo bay(to try and get my g/f back to go to work) and i came back through the otways but unfortunately i got done speeding on one of the straight bits after the mountains and the prick in a blue toyota camry got me doing 119 in a 100 zone and driving whilst suspended

ill hae a summons coming in the mail , it looks like im never gonna get my licence back!

but shit happens , the cruise was excellent and i amazed myself that i coulld keep up with some of you guys

i took pics on a mates digi cam and ill post them up in a couple of days when he has sent them to me

bassyk: that was rough. Don't think we saw any on the way back. Not sure what a cop would have done with that many skylines weaving in and out like we were. Was all good fun though!

jamezilla: how was the run back along the GOR ?

black13: did you manage to get your tyre fixed ?? was a bad time to get a flat.

Predator: The run home was fun :D

Ula32 and I gave the cars a good squirt - one of those 'glad I bought a GTR' kind of days. There was some traffic - including a truck carrying full Port-A-Loos (smelly) but we were able to get a couple of nice 'legal' runs - wasn't too often you could get above 100kmh. So sat on 80-90 around the corners most of the way. Lots and lots of fun.

We caught up with everyone in Geelong too :D

Awesome day people.

The photo's in the harbour were simply perfect.

I don't think there could be a better spot... we just need MORE CARS!

so i might organise another for a months time ?!?!?!?!?!?

That way i can drive my own car when i get it back

and then those that missed can come aswell...

and we'll go home the same route.

Those otways rule... pity about a bit of traffic though.

Sorry about the low res - it's the Photoshop auto-gallery thingo:

Gallery

I have all the driving photos at 1024x768 - and the ones in Apollo Bay at 2048 x 1536 @ 300dpi if anyone wants some silly-res images :D

My email address is on the gallery pages.

I have to say sorry for ditching you guys. Fatz wanted to do the whole road in one day so we had to be on the move. It was great to meet some of you guys and if ever any of you are in Sydney, please don't hestiate to let us know.

Fatz and I went totally ballistic, and he's a real nut case! Some pretty wild overtakings by Fatz and it's only a Mirage!

Thanks once again! :)

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
