The voices in my head have been telling me that for years! :laugh:

Top day people! The first two sessions I was in it for the fastest lap time, but after I realised I had a bit of a problem remembering the course layout as well as a little bit of a power/suspension/skill disadvantage I decided to slap on the Stagea rims and rip skids! Never have done a skid pan event before, but I can truthfully say I prefer it over a drift day, all the sideways action without the stone chips :P

Looking forward to being a menace at the next Texi :(

Cass man, you were doing some awesome 180 degree turns around the end of the "Race ya mate" track.

Looked impressive watch you come out of the and just have to hold opposite lock for so long!

Now thats what i was talkin about.... SR20 POWAH!!!!!!!!!!!! I really couldnt get the power down put fark me thats some noice licorice strips....

Oh and as promised here is the vid to back it all up!! Enjoy

PM me with an email address if you would like Desktop size versions or full-res shots for prints. :laugh:

Ian YES YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ian - Fantastic stuff! Thanks for the great shots of my my Great White Whale (hehe).

Are you going to be doing the Thursday run? Can I get you to bring GD2ILA photos on a USB or SD if you are?

Again - thanks a lot.

I got a quick question?

How come I didn't get a time on the go to whoa?

And was Jason Griffin there on the day?

Yep you won overall by 0.25s :laugh:, oh wells, if only I didn't lock up on my last go on course 1 and wedged the stop box cone in my front bar, would have done a 26.09 I think (its 3 seconds for a cone right?), practice makes perfect, next time =D

In that case :D

=P just imagine how quick you'd be if you drove my MXfun though.... =P

lol i figured something was amiss in the timing...eg no penalties or wrong directions from the tricky morning track. but at this level its more about fun than competition.

especially if I don't win.

Thanks to all the people who contributed and organised the event, even though i turned up late, it was awesome to watch.

I took a few videos and joined them together for your viewing pleasure. I had to put a soundtrack over the movie as i had 3 kids with me that always said something in the video... examples are;

"why is that black one not as good as the white one"....hmmm.

"dad, take a movie of me"...

and my favorite, my 9yr old son, "when i get a skyline, it's gonna smash yours".

anyway here is the video -

Thanks again guys, lunch was fantastic and the kids loved their SAU hats.

    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
