A bit of trivia...

The "NISSAN" sign was on loan to us from Chris Reely marketing mngr of Nissan Motor Co (Aust) Eastern sector after Springwood Nissan was forced into receivership.

I just had to pluck up the 'guts' to ask him for it from an empty showroom lol.

A black R34 GT-R owned by Ron Perry stopped for a few minutes on Bells Line Of Road. His son needed a leak. 5 convoy cars stopped to render assistance!

Breenhold Gardens Estate owner came out to us organisers & asked us to move on to a (already full) picnic ground. Then he asked me if anyone was coming in.

That's when I realised that our parked cars were NOT good for his business. I didn't have the heart to ask him for the use of his toilet.

mxfly & I got an agreement all round that the organisers would wear orange shirts. Two organisers can't tell between orange and red.

mxfly had no chance of winning Best Wheels unless most of the judges were female. Pink wheel nuts indeed!

mxfly graciously gave up his Award for Best...... so that someone else could share in a Prize with the Award Certificate signed by Mark Skaife (due next week)

I had an awesome day and it was a pleasure to be out again. :)

Special thanks to Pete (STYLN) for the shotgun seat and the steer on the way home, You bastard I want another Stagea now!!! LOL

Thanks to Tez & Co. for organising the event, Next time make sure the air temps are a touch warmer - I couldn't feel my hands after about 15mins lol.

Overall though it was an awesome day out. :bunny:

Kat - congratulations on your award!

Sorry I didn't know your name! haha. Im pretty sure it was "GTRKat from the forums" but I would've looked stupid if I was wrong.

fantastic cruise today guys... even though bakes and i missed the first group (what a mission that was!! :) )... i had a ball of fun.. the cars were great... the organisation was great.. big props to terry and the crew.. the spot was fantastic... i think i took more photos of the surroundings then of the cars... congrats to the award winners.. lots of tough cars.. ill have a play with the photos and post em up tomorrow when i should be working...

i got a great photo of terry in action!

and so y'all know .... bakes's gtr has got some get up and go now its all tuned and it sounds fantastic.. i leave it up to him to fill you all in if he feels like it... but from the passenger seat... lots of fun.

one more thing... i hate to put a dampner on things... but who was the goof who punched it out the first round about in the gtr group... i think it was white... a light colour anyway... was last in the group.... seriously mate, nice way to show that skyline drivers are respectable lot... couldnt you have waited till you got a bit out of the populated area??

cheers all

Linton

    • 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!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • 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!
    • 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.
