top weekend! great to catch up with you NSWer's and meet a few new faces too. as well as some old ones - think its been longer since I saw Noel than you blokes! I don't know if Noddy had anything to do with it, or if it was just luck that most of us ended up in the same group on the track... funny that all weekend we were getting in trouble for talking sh1t in the marshalling area when we should have been moving up to pit exit.

glad you southerners liked the track. It was my first time there since 2004 in a ~100rwkw Datsun 1200, so it was a bit of a learning experience for me too. Must say the new higher speed section is a welcome addition! Loved it. I think I might do the series there next year.

buggered if I can find those results Bill mentioned on mylaps... anyone had more luck than me?

Congrats to Stuart and Callum on their awesome results, and Dunc and Chris on their times. Nice driving all round fellas! Shame about your car Noddy. Get yourself some Federals mate

just working on a couple of videos now...

cheers ryan!

yeah i has a happy!!!

Cheers all, got a 90% plus run in today, 3rd run was happy with time 1.22.8 something

Maybe, the rule book is at my laps for classes all I can find is last weekends - no up to date results.

Will put some incar up next week. Duncan still can - lucky he had the camera on the right side when the left side didnt allow room for a camera.

Presentation was great, got a second in class in 2A, B F / up class and then they forgot fastest tintop trophy anyway.

Other than 1950's classes and class issues, the facilities and club ran a fantastic event - for a info note, we contacted Doreen and Michael of CAMs (our state reps of CAMs) and were promised a reply on classes for Aussie Hillclimb and Supersprints and guess what -well maybe their reponse email maybe going through mylaps

So on a quite word if you want the classes sorted for next year in Adelaide - please do as I did and waste your time but please continue to email Doreen and Michael until someone gets an answer

Was good to meet some unknowns - some still are - anyway I am sure next time I will have a bit more time and we will meet again

PS remember above lets rub it in to CAMs thats what we are paying our membership fees for and get this sorted out

Just got home, was happy to see the f3 after all the rain from Musellbrook- gosford, then the traffic 20kms north of singleton - the f3 at newcastle.

Was a really good weekend, and to get out of sydney for a few days. Good to meet a few new people. looked like everyone had fun. am keen to come up and try the track out when the car is ready (really had a hard think about moving up there with all the tracks after talking to Noddy).

i have some videos and pics will upload later when finished editing them

well that was a great weekend away!

first up, thanks to Matt in particular for looking after the car all weekend. apart from killing the turbos by sunday afternoon, and having to do rear swaybar bushes on friday, the car was great. Also hge thanks to Mitch and Georgie for helping out too, it was a good group.

It was excellent to meet all a bunch of banana-benders including noddy, harry, callum, noel - particular thanks for noddy for having us in his town and showing us the delights of the palace hotel. but wtf was that $7.5M pedestrian underpass....can't beleive I didn't get to walk through it.

The event itself was excellent, well run with lots of lap times and very professional. My only issue, as with Stuart, was their decision not to use the CAMS supersprint classes. As a result there was no production car class for me to defend last year's title, I was in over 3l sports cars with stuart's r33, supercharged elises, and worst of all 180s and onevias! Still came 4th in class and 5th overall which I reckon was a good run in that car.

Morgan Park is an excellent track and well worth the visit - recently extended which apparently makes it a lot quicker, but most importantly it has real challenges to get the hang of - blind corners, bent straights, off camber sections, and lots of bumps. I reckon I could run there every day for a year and still be learning new things. Very similar to Oran Park in character which is about the highest compliment I can think of >_<

I'll get my vids up in the next few days too....

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
