P.S. FEAR you are a psycho......

Nar thought the briefing said you brake the hardest when you get 3 so i waited to 3 before i started breaking lol and need to over take from time to time on the main straight.

Damn it Brad!!! How many engines now?

Give me your engine and I'll build it just like my 26, in my tiny shed!!!.....bulletproof style!

That was number 3, yer a tiny shed style sounds good lol if its only the bigend will not be too hard to fix(cross's fingers)

Brad are you serious?

Fkn hell!

Yer i think it left go thought the kink off the main straight hoply it will be fixed for S&S 09 or i will just trailer it there and put the other plates on i have been thinking of ordering.

You let someone drive your car who measures the success of their car by how many kms it goes for and has a current record of sixty-something kays?

Brave!

Yeah he did more K's in my car yesterday than his own in 2 months

His GTR is cursed.

Wow, top day fellas. Great to meet lots more people, and all the usual faces. Cheers to all the organisers and to Ando's driver tuition, thanks mate. Hope you made it home without pooing your pants......

Love the Grand Prix circuit, i was shit scared of the turn coming onto the straight, not a huge fan of walls! But i stayed clear of them all day so went home a happy man.

REALLY Looking forward to the next one, the Oran Park track is the best, so many changes of direction, great fun unsettling the car like that, groovy.

Commiserations to the fellas with engines that let go, hope you can get them sorted soon.

Blue EVO was driven by Daniel Caprar... An old racer from way back (Used to have an R33 GTR). Very talented driver, who isn't afraid of smashing ripple strips to chase those laptimes :D

Lap after lap after lap after lap after lap.......... Impressive to watch him attack the flip-flop !

My car didn't make it (drivetrain gremlins sabotaged my day), so I was puttering around in the red BMW...

lol.... So that was you ! I did a fair bit of flag marshalling just before the flip-flop and all was pretty boring until some bloke in red BMW went flying over the flip-flop into the big dipper. But instead of re-appearing on the start of the main straight, all I saw was a giant cloud of tyre smoke. Was the only time I got to wave the yellow flag frantically :P But don't worry, I won't tell anyone it was you :D:P

I believe that SAU have booked another OP day in October. Hopefully we have GP layout again. Much more fun than South Circuit...

100% agree !!

Absolutely awesome, I was in the newb patrol, and although the drivers briefing was long, I learned alot from it. Thanks to everyone at SAU for putting this on, I was pretty nervous, but after a few laps you get the groove of it. That beast R33 white machine was loco, well done. Heres a quick video I did up for the day!

Video of Todays Ownage.

SKYLINES---->Best f'ing cars in the world..................

P.S. FEAR you are a psycho......

Can I hire Tokyo Drift Girls to clean my engine bay next time?

Awesome video compilation mate, love the start music!!! HAHAHAHAh Thanks for posting it up, saw my car a few times in the vid, sweet!!!

So were you the one flag marshalling that I had to give the thumbs down to as I drove past with a massive big end knock?

I was tempted to drive with the hazards on, but the guy in the drivers brief said to ignore all indicators... LOL

So "that's" what the thumbs down was all about ! I wasn't sure what happened since I could'nt hear the knock. You just drove past slowly with the thumb pointed south. All I could do was give you a thumbs up in return because at least you were "driving" back to the pits :P Hope it's all fixed up soon !

As always, SAU track days are the hottest ticket in town (nearly as hot as Fatz butt crack!), plenty of lap time and shits n giggles. :P

Well done to all involved in getting this day organised and all the flag marshalls. :P

OK, that makes more sense. One of the times I was marshalling a whole bunch of people went past at the end of a session and gave the thumbs up and 1 car went by very slowly with a thumbs down, so I'm guessing you were'nt the only one with issues Matt.

Could you hear the knock as Matt went by Chris ?

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.

      That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3945-rb25det/trans/317/31940N/ The pictures of the part you're talking about is clearly not just one solenoid. You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
