Hey thanks all! :)

Really happy with the final wash-up given the conditions. Was quite pissing down for half the rally - especially on the whole last day which meant we decided on playing safe to protect 2nd place rather than having a crack at 1st at the end (Given we were on hard tyres and the guys in front and behind us were on wets). Although Uncle Fester (Beaumont) did try his best to hand us the event on Day 2 - watch out for the coverage on Chanel 9 in a few weeks for that one. But overall it was an awesome event. Doing things like 4th gear slaloms was quite a buzz :(

Met heaps of great people over the weekend and the level of competition over in W.A. was much much higher than I probably initially thought. I know speaking to some of the guys that have done all 3 events this year said W.A. had by far the highest level of competition at the pointy end so far. But I'm expecting Vic to be even tougher and I can't wait to see how the GT-R goes. I actually think it might be a slight advantage over the EVO given the boys we were chasing had a clear stright line advantage that won't be there for them with the GT-R (e.g in the 1/8th mile drag (200m) they were nearly a whole second faster than us.)

So Bring on Vic ;)

Some quick pics I've found from AHG on Saturday.

Gav in his sweet R32 copped the same conditions as I did out there. Not easy I can tell you.

In the end these boys were just too good (again)

The Team Wang Subaru! Brendon also won the drivers comp outright.

The Team Wang 996TT! These boys also took out the Rookie Crew Outright award. Team Wang sure did prepresent over in W.A.

Chris told me it was good practice for you getting 2nd, since you'll have to settle for 2nd again in Vic Dutton... ;)

haha well done, it's gotta be hard to keep the consistency up all weekend... even more so if it was wet.

It's going to be a cracker for sure. Although Chris holds on too tight and will put himself out of contention in no time. The one thing I learnt from last year is it is damn hard to win one of these things but it is really easy to lose one in a few moments of madness. So in Vic I'm sure Chris will have some great moments but eventually he'll throw it away.... :glare:

lol, I think you've confused fast with fun snowboy. it may not be fast in the wet, but it certainly would be fun. that is if near death experience with every throttle jab is your idea of a good time! people driving evos wouldn't understand... :( ok maybe your right, it would be more brown pants than it would be fun.

Hey crew, thanks for all the words of encouragement and support. Looking forward to catching up in Vic. Was a tops weekend although Snowy did suck the wang a little and needed a few hugs after hitting cones, but to be honest I sucked more. Interesting that he beat me in the 8th mile sprints. Always more fun when its not your car. Looking forward to the 800's in Vic. The GTR is evil and must be punished. Hopefully its not going to be a 3....2...1...ra ra ra ra ra......Go......BANG!!! weekend. (Ask Snowy to explain... :( ) The R's reliability has been a bit questionable. Sending over the super reliable backup evo has been talked about. :) Should be a mad weekend at the end of the Month. Look out Scotsman and Newton. You know teh R34 GTR can nevar lose!!! Besides, money can't buy talent, but it can buy horsepower, and sometimes thats enough!!! :D Go Team Darksnow!!!

Cheers,

Blaise

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
