A big thanks to every one for a great event! THANKS

Lots of problems with my car stalling at high RPM, and i need further mods to my seat and floor pan to fit in with a helmet!

Stoked with last place honours! .................. not really!!

A big thanks also to mi mate Russell the love muscle for bringing along that bastard monkey bike, apparently it's quite the in thing to lubricate handle bars in manufacture to fit the hand grips! However when attempting to ride the stoopid thing the hand grip came off and so did a great deal of skin and flesh............... :D

Any hoo skin and flesh will have grown back for the next DECA, and my dodgy ECU should let me drive the car hard given some TLC.

:dry:

every time I see this pic, I have the Beachboys' Wipeout song playing in my head. Next time I'll be checking my tyre pressures before I go out on the track. Luckily the tyre only came off the seal, not totally off the rim, so all we had to do was pump it back up so it sat properly again.

Lack of tyre on rim = round and round into the embankment. No damage sustained. Thank god... esp as at that stage I'd only owned that car for 12 hours.

RSM top scores from the day's events. 142km/h max speed, most likely on the back track area.

Lateral G's front and rear and left and right over 1.0g's. Rev limit was at 7 grand, so someone bounced it past to 7700rpm.

Some more mini-cars.

The supra looks cool as! You need to show these to the organisers of that aussie mini cars series that supports the v8 supercars, mini supras and gtrs tearing up the track would look great, altho they might get banned again :)

    • Yeah most people that have heard it said it was fine but it's always had me slightly worried. Oil pressure I can't remember off the top of my head but it has plenty, I run 10w60 You're probably right mate, best get ordering some shims! Guessing Nissan is the best place for them?
    • Just wanna preface this and point out I'm a mechanical fitter by trade but have had very little rebuild/machining experience, but I am keen to learn, hence this project. Bit of a write up here so bear with me, just want to make sure I do this right  I've got an rb30e currently pulled down. Planning on putting a 25 head on it and running it in my s14.  Not chasing huge power so I'm just going to try get away with factory bottom end for now.  Started measuring the crank the other day, realised my budget daytona micrometer set wasn't up to the task (surprise, I know). They only measure to 0.01mm but the Nissan specs are to 0.001mm. Anyway, I started measuring anyway and came away with the mains being inline with the oem spec, as well as the big ends, except for no. 5. I consistently got a measurement of a hair over 49.96mm, where all the others were pretty spot on 49.97mm. The lower spec for grade no.1 is 49.961mm. I'm getting access to some better gear my next days off to double check everything, but in the case that the big end is right on that bottom spec, is it pretty much just a case of straight to the machine shop for machining and oversized bearings? I understand I need to measure the tunnel as well to work out my oil clearance, but it's the different grade bearings in the manual that are confusing me. What is generally the process when one journal would still technically be in spec, but in a different grade?  Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
    • You need to visit Ipswich. Plenty of clapped out R32 and R33s running around here as daily drivers. And when I say clapped out, they're how you'd look at a VN, when it's the year 2010...
    • So I checked this out in the weekend.. and look at this. I remember watching the videos. Finally got to see it in person! BRB. Tissues. Got tonnes of other pics and videos too.      IMG_0171.mov IMG_0113.mov
    • For anyone who might be put off by the slightly wacky wheel offset shown on the box photo above, the production models are not like that. Here's some more pics of the actual product (as well as the interior)
