To the organisers and members of the SAU

On behalf of the Camaro-Firebird club members who attended your Skyline Texi Skids at Quakers Hill today, I would like to sincerely thank you for the invitation to a brilliant day. You co-ordinated and managed a fantastic day, and even though we experienced almost all four seasons in one day, everyone was still able to get out on the track.

We may have produced slow times with a lot of tyre smoke but we had a lot of fun too. We were all impressed to see the way it鈥檚 supposed to be done and how well your members can control a car.

This will be a day that we will be all talking about for a long time.

Thank you again.

Regards

Craig Goodshaw

I would like to say a special THANKS!!! To the organisers, all the marshals and timekeepers AND the photographers, definitely couldn't of done it without you all. Greatly appreciated!!!

Day was well run, the wait between runs was long, but worth it!

Thanks to Ando for marshaling in bogan attire in the rain!

Reece, we need to battle/skid against each other more!!! I need to get better at both as well lol, oh and I'll have to stop getting lost on the final battle course!

In short, BIG THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well worth the trip from Canberra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:(:D:P:D :D :P

P.S. More pics please!!!

In the process of uploading another 120-130 images, not all are as i'd like them but dont have time to edit or adjust right now.

its a good 700mb so it might take a couple hours

They will be added to the same set which is located HERE

There should be about 300 in total when its done.

:P

Here are a couple of snaps I took during the day. They sure don't look as good in "postage stamp mode"

but here are a couple of teasers to get you to browse on Flickr: Clicky! or Slide Show Mode

Was a good day and glad to see everyones smiles as they came off the course!! Still cant believe i was the only one there in thongs to stand out in the floods and rain to marshall people on the skidpan during the downpour! +10 points for bogan attire, singlet + thongs = winnah :D

LOL I would have done it... But I was driving... And wearing all white so although the male company may have enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't have been very comfortable lol.....

Skids are awesome!! WOOOT thanks to whoever took pics of my car :)

And thanks to everyone that organised it, it was a great trip until i was 99% asleep on the highway on the way home, than thanks to Reece for driving my car and his girlfriend driving the renault whilst I napped :) life saver!! *literally*

Next time my goals are: 1. Beat Zane 2. Beat Zane driving his car 3. Drive Sky (reece's car) 4. Beat reece driving his car... Of course none of which will come true unless I am fast asleep and dreaming at the time or reece passes out and doesn't realise I took his keys :)

:D :D :(:P :P

Surprised there's no asshole shots from Ian or Craig about me yet... it's like a Texi tradition :)

Give it time, Give it time. :P

What a top day, i'm a bit sunburnt but i'm glad I chose to wear jeans and long sleeves. ;) So many skids and so much fun was had by all. Thank you so much to the organisers and I can't wait for the next one. The Camaro Club showed what American Muscle can do and did it in style. :)

I currently have 1024 images to sift though so I might be a while. :)

I personally think Lizzy wins the 'Plow Queen' award for planting 4 wheels in the grass. :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
