Today I went and popped my Spring in the Valley cherry.

Working for a paper has its perks, and one of our advertisers, The Great Northern Distillery, asked me to come enjoy the antics and snap some social pics for them for the day.

Over 1000 pics later & countless drinks..my job was done 'Bruce Lee' or 'Austen Powers' style (my nickname for the day by patrons).

Who else went down this weekend and got absolutely blinded?

*I'm sure people here would probably know some of the peeps in the photos..pass link on to friends if you know they went to the GND on Sunday (I didn't go Sat)*

Well where I was, one heavily drunken dude stole a bottle of booze from the bar and then started dancing in a very open area with it. Within a minute, a giant bouncer comes out and takes him out from behind. The drunk dude gets up eventually, jumps in the air while being held by security and face plants into the ground. He then gets up again, kicking the security guards (about 5 of them) and then this random girl (who we eventually found out was his sister) tries to break it up and he slaps her big time on the face. Female security guard gets hell offended by that and tries to put the guy to the ground, but then he ended up putting her to the ground. I got plenty of action shots of it, but probably not appropriate to put online for now.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      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!

      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!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      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.
