they gave them to the r31 guys. i still dont know how i didnt win best r33. i had every thing done

Hi every one

I saw the ads and a mate of mine and i flew over from tassy for the event,found it to be pretty good we went saturday only.

It was great to see some winning race cars and yes a pile of r31's not a problem though next year jason and i will bring our gtr's for a run.

Thanks for a good dayand look forward to next year.

If any one is thinking about the jambaree in queensland you must go it is a great week end,I've been 3 years so far and am going again next month.

thanks all stuart

they gave them to the r31 guys. i still dont know how i didnt win best r33. i had every thing done

mate i understand your upset that you didnt win best 33 there but lets face it there were better ones there,

Further more, we handed out about 20 trophies Sunday night, there are over 107 to hand out!

so we still have over 80 to go out!!!

you coming is great and your car is nice, but simply turning up and expecting a win just isnt how it works, i wasnt a judge, but you should be inspired to make your car better if you want trophies! simply "having every thing Done" doesn't guarantee a win. Fit And Finish, Quality not quantity,

if you had turned up in 2006, you would have walked away with a trophy, but there was only one 33 there in 2006.

i will post up the rest of the results as soon as we get them together,

Sunday what a day!

Woke up in the morning 6am with about 4 hours sleep from Saturday night lol, soo shattered spent most of Saturday detailing the car and trying to avoid the rain, just for it to bucket down all day on Sunday!

Other than the rain was a great day, very impressed with most cars, full credit to their owners. Great to see a mix of models as I can remember back in 2006 was dominated by r31's, which isn't a badd thing :huh:

Have a few pics on the camera will upload once my net goes back up i got CAPPED yayyy! :) lol

Just some suggestions that may make this event better just for the Sunday speaking. Maybe a few more competitions during the day eg; ps3 gran turismo comps who cna get the best laps. Some Music doesnt have to be a full dj setup just even a few speakers playing a few songs. I just found it to very straight foward park the car, look at the cars and thats it nothing in between. Just need something to keep the crowd alive but i guess the weather really hurt us aswell. But other than that a GREAATT day :D

Heres a few pics i could upload. Enjoy :O

Hi guys,

i had a great weekend. Winton on saturday was fun even if it was a bit unorganised and running behind time.

It was good sunday to see the large range of cars turn out in the poor weather.

I agree with Jake (HYPA33) that his car was better modified and a lot cleaner than mine.

Cheers NutR33

if you had turned up in 2006, you would have walked away with a trophy, but there was only one 33 there in 2006.

I take offence at that Adrian! :blink:

Just cause I was the only 33 there, and won a trophy lmfao!

Show and Shine is for posers anyways :ermm:

i was there we spent more time behind the tow truck than raceing as the intercooler pipes clamps where not holding

aza, mate rip that cooler pipe out and get a decent lip welded onto it :blink:

Sorry I didn't have a decent enough clamp for you, you guys must have been getting the shits up spending all that time parked in the grass around turn 4-5 !

Here is the trophy list everyone. There will be no correspondence entered into here. The judges decision is final. We have one dispute involving the sprints which may be valid, as we don't have a name for the car number. This will be followed up privately.

  • 2 weeks later...

I was there in 06 and back in 08... planning on heading to SA for 2010.

I won N/A Regularity & got the 2nd fastest N/A Sprint time.

yes, I'm a 31 boffin, I took 2 this year from NSW.

The import Skyline scene need to get into their head is that this is a NOT 31 event, the reason why 31's seem to get more trophies, is coz there are more 31's. Makes sense, the more post later model skylines that show up the more they will be awarded. Best stock, best modded, 32, 33, 34, 35 etc.

SVD vehicles are special to in the same way that GT-R's are special, and there was a category for GT-Rs too.

it almost feels like SAU has boycotted this event, I hope that there is a much bigger representation in 2010.

It was GREAT to see more of the later models at winton and at the show n shine.

You have to remember that this is the 2nd nationals, so everything is still very young, CSA is even younger and from what I know has learnt alot from that weekend.

My opionions on the track are that yes it was running late, but that was due to mechanical failure of the organisers car (with all the important stuff in it!) the EXA car club was invited to fill spots because of a booking issue with Winton - I personally feel that it was a bit of a mistake, there have been some pretty nasty words said by their guys. I think if its going to stick to one diciplin then it should... but what is needed is more support from the Skyline Family to fill those spaces.

I was out there and had a blast, as for time / performance categories I was held up by a 270kw 33, and I have a bog-stock GTS1 running consistant 1.58's around the full circut of Winton. So its hard to pick!

The show and shine needs some work - especially with the judging sheets, you just cant have the same sheet for different classes, esp. modified vs. concourse. - the weather on the day was a pain in the ass, something which any organiser does not have control over. I will be voicing this opinion with organisers at the right time.

I hope to see more and more people at this event from every Skyline family.

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
