Here are some pics I manage to grab...

Meeting up for the morning before heading to Mallala

Parked at Malala

The TYPEVU and HESLO awesomeness

The class

The casualty and the mechanic

Didnt get any on-track photos with my camera though...

[scandyflick]

best part of the day, vu spinning on the warm down lap!

Oh and thanks for the pie Dave... PS... Eliza is hot

f**ker.

is that what her name is? cant say i was paying much attention to her name...

[typevu]

You idiot, it wasnt spinning, it was power sliding - might aswell have some fun on the final lap

[scandyflick]

try to keep your 'power sliding' on the black stuff, its more enjoyable.

much love,

tractor dude.

Just came on here to add a special mention to our super-mod Andrew the Nightcrawler. Had only a few hours sleep, from what I gather he drove well and then played mechanic for David's R33 GTR at the end of the day as seen in Vu's last pic above. Made sure no-one was left behind. Top effort mate.

And Vu - powersliding usually occurs at speeds above 20kmph. It was the final lap and was for a warm down. Failing to keep your car on the black stuff at that point in time IS a fail. (But nice pics)

[scandyflick]

yeah, andrew was doing pretty f**kin well for someone running on barely a couple hours sleep.

[Moodles2]

Awesome day, weather could have been warmer. Great feedback from the instructors, look forward to hitting Mallala again with these new skills.

does this rule not apply if you in a tractor i thought u did all yours in the grass/gravel/dirt

[Kandy]

Thanks Kim for organising the day and letting me tag along it was fun, though I don't think I fully pushed my car to it's limits as I kept freaking out with the thought I wasn't covered under my insurance lol (grrr)

did anyone manage to take pics of the s15?

Please post or email to kandykane_AThotmailDOTcom

thanks!!

lol. i didnt come off. kept expecting to, but no.

[Krishy]

Yeah thanks Kim - definately an enjoyable day. Good to meet a lot you finally, with the only familar face being Andrews (from back in 03/04). As with Luke I learnt a hell of a lot and was very happy with how my car went considering the extra weight. Will definately be there in November. Gotta love the many handbrake attempts... I think Luke won that contest, followed closely by krishy - pretty good guys!! I'll post some pics up tomorrow - is anyone precious about their number plates?? If so speak out. Oh and still bummed HESLO got 168km/h max speed, beat me by 2km/h - bastard!!

I managed to crank up to 170 when we were doing those laps towards the end of the day.....it was so much fun, also learnt a lot about driving techniques and also VISION.....car worked a treat till the end of the day started to get the "long brake pedal" freaked me out a bit but then 2 cool down laps did the trick.....next is some EBC RED STUFF i reackon.....to stop the "long brake pedal" happening again....it was awesome as Lukey (ENR) started the handbrake u turns followed by me and pretty much the rest of the group lol....oh and VU learn how to make handbrake u turns and not end up on the grass all the time....

Josh did some nice tractor work in his 33 GTR....cannot wait for the next performance day

[32godzilla]

Hey Krishy - if it's not on the power FC memory then it doesn't count!! Just jokes mate - your car is suprisingly quick for a GTS-T.

[typevu]

Who said I was under 20km/h? Pretty sure the car is warmed down enough already when I'm like freezing my tits off

oh and VU learn how to make handbrake u turns and not end up on the grass all the time....

Handbrake is softcock shit... learn how to drop the clutch and do mad skids and ending up where your not suppose to be.

Thanks mate....i was suprised by the handling of the 260 as well mate...specially during the slalom

Who said I was under 20km/h? Pretty sure the car is warmed down enough already when I'm like freezing my tits off

Handbrake is softcock shit... learn how to drop the clutch and do mad skids and ending up where your not suppose to be.

No TRYING to drop the clutch to whip the back end around and ending up 10-15 meters off the track and into the grass is softcock shit + Epic Fail......i think a lot of people who tried the handbrake u turn found it a bit difficult to start with but got it towards the end of the day.....cheers to lukey for starting it lol

[scandyflick]

go easy on the poor fella krish. us mere mortals have nothing to match vu's mad tyte drift skillz.

[Moodles2]

I managed to crank up to 170 when we were doing those laps towards the end of the day.....

I managed to top out at 164km/h with my 200kw (boost set to 12psi).

My brake pedal was consistant all day, even after the 6 laps at the end of the day. I'm running RDA slotted discs up front with QFM A1RM pads and some unique autosports front brake air deflectors, nismo crossdrilled discs on the rear with genuine nissan pads and BMW dot4 fluid in the system (barely a week or 2 old), also have a Cusco brake cylinder master stopper as well.

[heslo]

Come on guys... Enough now! Vu, I'm sure that what had been said was just shit stirring, I don't think the intent was to rile you up, take it easy bud!
