Big thumbs up for the organisers, very well timed and carried out. Had a ball gotta say the highlight of the day was goin for a spin with Truscott in the back section, and him catchin his hat that flew off mid drift and continuing his drift, GOLD

also a props to everyone that helped the drift bitch out wen it had a slight overheating problem damn that Luke

Also cheers to lil Dave for takin me for a spin in the angry CA 180, god that was a lot of fun.

Thanx to Chance, Luke, Theo, Manny, Lydia, John for the cruise up made it a lot easier at 5AM.

Will be at the next SAU meeting to sign up as a member and will prob take the touge monster out there jus hope i've got the suspension sorted by then. Either way i'll give it a go.

Cheers to Sean, Trav, Newton, Sampson, Truscott, Arron for all your help out there.

I had a great day, I was expecting to be more tired seeing as I'd just gotten in from Sydney but once I got in the car I was fine. I probably should have put my stockies on but needed to use the Yokohamas for the photo shoot with Joel at Lunch time. Looking foward to seeing the photos from Joel.

Was great to see so many girls entered and also great to see another well organised fun SAU club event. Good to catch up with the Usual suspects and the WRX guys that drove up to spectate. It's nice to see people not entered taking time to come up and support the club and their friends.

Can't wait for the next one, should have my new dif by then aswell.

next time do you think i should take the munro onto the d4d thingo ???

considering my handbrake barely slows the car down etc ...

ummm

hang on, i dont think ill do that, nope ...

ill be signing up as an sau - ee after i get a bit more of my car sorted out ... so ill be pissing off ppl most likely ... and hear whispers on "what the hell is that peice of crap doing here'

hehe

bring on deca btw ... i have a helmet, booyah

For sure mate! It'll be great to see the old holden sideways. Just make sure it's got a locked diff and you'll enjoy yourself. Just do it for the fun of it, because your car will be the limiting factor. Give it a go!

some great photo's there Wokka, nice work.

I really fried my rear tyres during this day, delaminating them on the final wet event, I think that was mainly due to that surface being a fair bit rougher than the big skidpan. I was in the 3rd group to go on the wet event an I thought it was still wet enough, but I guess my tyres proved otherwise. I was giving them a fairly hard time, I expected I would though thats why I used a different pair of rims on the day so I didnt feel I had to hold back.

I cant wait for the next event, this day was well organised, well structured, had great events for beginners and all the knowledge from the insructors anyone could need.

HUGE THANKS to all involved, organisers, instructors & participants, everyone made it a great day!!

I've got vids but they are on an analog video camera. Anyone know how I can convert these into digital format so I can load them up?

hmmm, if u can hook the camera up to a tv, which has a dvd recorder on hooked up to it, i beleive u can do it that way, but im only assuming :O

off topic but did anyone fill up in melbourne just before D4d and then note fuel economy once they had gone through a full tank?

I filled up in melbourne the night before and was empty at 460k's including trashing the car for the day (used about 1/3 @ D4D), interested what others got ?

Hmmmm I'll look into it.

Here are some pics that I took. I have heaps more but don't want to put up pics of peoples plates. What program should I use to black them out.

Check out the truck driver. He was holding on for his life!!!

That corvette that rocked up was very nice...

The one of Pete is just before the pop...

got adobe photoshop? can use the blur tool, or smudge em out..or just paint over them...

same goes for mspaint, but might affect the quality of them when you save...

paul, i filled up saturday morning, was at 3/4 tank or there abouts when we got to deca

left deca with half a tank, drove home to hoppers, and probably still had 1/4 tank left

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
