Steveo, as per our discussion in the middle of the night last friday!!

Am i taking your spot for Dave or completing a new one??? Needs to know so I can pay whoever and do the form!!

Yes you're taking mine :P

Yes you're taking mine ;)

ah okies... send me your bank details then puhlease... can't find em :)

Il get Dave to do the form this weekend..... still no idea which car!! Thinking mine though.... he's much funnier to watch in rwd mode :(

there's a great photo from 12 months ago of turismo's starlet going over that with 4 wheels off the ground ;)
Post up that picture!

Yeah, I never saw that photo, pic or ban :laugh:

farrkkk, how fast was he going?

110ish maybe quicker, didn't really look down, to busy concentrating on flight

thought of another noobie question....

is there a provision to change tyres from the rims down there coz i got some shitty rears in my garage with about 20-30% tread left on them and just incase i happen to get the ones currently on my car down to mettal, would i be able tochange the tyres without having to somehow bring the rims aswell???? if not the dosnt matter i'll just keep the smokeing to a minimum...

Nope, there's no tyre changing facilities down there unfortunately, unless you go to a wheel and tyre shop down there, and I doubt there'd be much open on a Sunday afternoon...

We want to avoid any unintentional skidding or spinning, and we're not allowing drifting or burnouts due to the rules of the facility itself, and we don't want another visit from the EPA for noise pollution either...

so does that mean the skid pan is going to be wet? coz if its dry my tyres will shred like no tomorrow and there will be heaps of noise...... and why does epa care? looking on google earth there doesnt seem to be any houses very near.....???

ps: id rather a wet skid pan anyway

Hey guys, just wondering how many spots are still available? I'm hoping to put the engine back into my GTR this weekend and would love to take it for a thrash if there are still spots available. It would be my first SAU event so it all sounds like awesome fun

There are still spots available :)

epa cares as theres a guy with a noise meter across the valley who rings them up as soon as it goes 1 db over the limit, and it will be the wet skidpan.

What a tosser... who doesnt like the sound of a car revving off its guts :)

Dang.. that was a quick responce boys!.. :laugh:

Thanks for the help..

Ill be confirming or not within the next few days..

And whats the CHEAPEST form accomodation that is NOT sleeping in the car.. Fixed back buckets are not comfortable to sleep in..

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
