Am i able to sign up to SAU even though i don't have a skyline? I meant to ask this question on the day. If so, would love too as i fully support this club in what they do and practice.

Absolutely, Kory - the club is for Skyline enthusiasts, so it doesn't really matter what you drive. Heck, quite a few of our members and Execs (past and present) don't even own a Skyline anymore!

tip freaking top day. Had so much fun, as always as Wakie!!! Love that place.

Had a nice big screeching sliding off into the grass and mud in session 1 when i hit some coolant or something, apologies to Shell as my passenger........ was fun though!!!!!

My Dad had a blast in the Audi, and he loved taking passengers around all day. He was so proud that there was a queue of people waiting for a ride in the Audi ;)

Cant wait for another one. Also my camera battery died after taking 2 pictures on the day, DUH! So i'd be keen to get copies of anyones pics if that ok. Looking forward to that DVD of photos too!!!!

Cheers to Ando, Chubbs Clappa and co for all their hard work getting it organised. These days dont run themselves, and your hard work is greatly appreciated.

As Nick said, you can certainly sign up to become a member. ;)

PM me and I'll mail out forms, or check Secretary "Shell" and her Sig for a download.

Sorry, but I packed up the desk & forms at lunchtime. Cheers, T

Even put together a RB30 bottom end on sunday for my car, so 11tybillion killerwasps for me!

Glad I could help out, and thanks to Cassbo for taking Prue for a run :down:

Wow what a weekend! Great to hear everyone giving it the thumbs up! Only just got back on here to read up on peoples thoughts!

I had a really good day :) everyone who ran it did such a good job!!

I finally went in a car Ando, happy now? Haha.

Will def be at the next one!

Don't know why you decided to go into a slow one though :down:

Sounds like everyone had a good day, lots of PB's, including two zeds. Duncan's GTR went well. The Slot Car was getting pumped up ready for the next one.

Curious what was the fast car there?

Well now that the dust has settled and i've had a bit of time to go over the car i've found a few things as a result of the day:

Both front brake discs have hairline fractures everywhere on the donut's so that explains the vibration felt while braking after the first sessions. Replacements needed

Underbody is fine despite the grass cutting sessions, although the underside of the front cf lip copped it a little bit, there's no real damage

Front brake pads need to be replaced (time for ferodo ds2500's)

A second set of rims will be needed for track days!!!

Well it wasn't me John, I spent to much time spinning around in circles!

Had my first ever spin at the fish hook. I was using Khumo Ku36 tyres, and had no idea that a street tyre needed so much heat before they worked. Came out the pits nice and easy and barely made turn 1. Took it very easy up through the top and even coming in slowly into the hook, all 4 just let go and did a nice couple of 360's.

2 laps later though, they were awesome, and easily one of best street tyres you can get for the track.

John, It was the 32 GTR previously known as FAT R...makes 500kw at the treads or so

The first couple of spins really annoyed me (I think I was just trying too hard) And I thought to myself "I'm never gonna get this right" but I got used to it by the end of the day. I was still pretty happy with how I went at the end of the day for a big newb.

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
