We were there, we got there a bit late, about 11:45, and then we had an issue with the BBQ, one of the fittings didn't fit, so Madaz and I had to drive to Gawler to get the fitting. Cubes, Simon-R32 and co hung around till we got back though (about 1), then we started cooking and couldn't find many people...

I was running a bit late(12:30) , and on my way in I saw at least 6 Skylines coming back towards Adelaide, maybe people couldnt find anyone out there. I saw Mobies on its way out as well at the gates.....

I found them pretty easy though, Simon's Red R32 car was parked on the road in front of the sheds and it was pretty easy to spot.

Bit dissapointing no one really showed up.

Big thanks to Steve and anyone else who helped for the BBQ and drinks.

Cheers

was a good day, had issues with missing badly (vacuum leak), so meant i couldnt go hard on the straights. besides that worked out most handling and braking issues, need harder springs and shocks, SK's GB just isnt enough i dont think, great for the road but showing its weakness on the track with grippy tires.

got the old lady out there in the gold VT, that was good for a laugh :)

yeah thanks to those that turned up and too those that said they were coming and didn't everyone else can say WD to you cause i wont organise that again

thanks for organising the BBQ mate, you bought so much shit its a shame bugger all ppl rocked up after saying they would :)

yeah shame about that vac leak... I bet your knock sensors were working over time :rofl:

watched you do a lot of laps... car doesnt look like its suffering from lack of spring rate or under dampering issues... it does look more to be a wheel alignment/tyre pressure issue, and maybe push the car a little harder into turn 1 :D FWIW theres minimal body roll on the car considering you were running semi's

Yeh we were there, we parked on the grass section tho! Celica was having a few overheating temps, well what we thought 100deg was a bit hot, but once it hit 100-110 it didn't really go much higher! Track was shithouse tho, oil down at turn 3 and so windy, we were a solid 1 and a half seconds off normal pace, still got a flat 19 but were really looking towards 17s, but hey with this weather cant ask for too much! we even put new springs in th rear which help some of our handeling/understeer!!

Would have come over but we were busy trying different sus setups!!

How did that zip tie hold up Steve??

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
