Was a good day for our SAU boys.

Dave smashed them in Over 2L IP,,,top qual by a staggering 2.3 seconds and almost the same in race 1,,,I'm thinking he backed off though as he was creaming them. Nice drive mate,,,yes we watch you tiger. The little Starlet is one sexy car.

Duncan's day was as far as I'm concerned great. Qual was not that great,,,11th is probably his worst while I've been involved. But 11th to 7th in race one was bloody great!!!. I had a very stress free day for once,,,shit I only had to change wheels,,,do my usual checks and not much else. Temps were all good and the clutch actually worked and still is. Why the sky opened up big time an hour after his race was my only annoyance. I've made my list of to-do's.

Is first on the list go to church to ask for divine intervention, or do a rain dance Neily?!

Shame D had a problem with the boost in quali- would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he'd been a bit further up in the mix.

Thanks for your managing stuff as always Neily!

Ahhhh Team West- my new favourite racing friends.

Time for name & shame in the pits. These blokes tried to get us to move because they had *lots* of race cars coming and needed more space. Turns out their third *race car* was actually one of the drivers' utes. And they wanted more open space so their bonnets could sunbake.

JUST NOT RACING on a weekend at EC where the field is over capacity, and every square of space should be used to house racing cars ya dickheads!

Made it kinda fun to loudly call their cars *those radical thingies* at every opportunity.

And can't believe we forgot to tell them they'd left lots of gear out when it started to piss down...

meh. its the biggest state race meet ever, so no wonder there are some people who think they are more special than everyone else. doesn't worry me, I will focus on what I need to do.

it was OK today, very poor qualifying for me (11th) proving how damn quick production cars are going these days. For context, the Pro-duct emo Xs took the production car lap record easily....and even beat the improved production lap record. i just need $100k +$5k per round for tyres (actually they had 12 new ones waiting just for this round) and I will be in one in a flash :laugh:

anyway, I made a few spots during the race which was good, finished 7th. I ran medium tyres as a test but they were not a winner....3 out of 6 laps and they were gooooone.....very poor grip once they overheated. they will be no good for the 8 and 10 lap races tomorrow so I am back to the previous set.

fingers crossed for tomorrow. If anyone wants to head out to eastern creek, entry is free (I guess ARDC figured they made enough money from the record entrant numbers). Also this round will be televised on Speed channel in the next month or 3.

well that was a hell of a day today.

I've done some damp track laps before, but this was racing in the pissing down raining. I learned a lot, went 7 seconds faster in race 3 than my best in race 2.

overall results were lousy, 8th and 9th, but it was brilliant fun. the car was rubbish in the wet...the commodores were clearly quicker. not sure if it was just tyres or something more, but I was nowhere.

evil_chris...working oni the vids now. nothing from race 2 because the whole damn car was fogged up, the camera saw the same as me. SFA. turns out shampoo is great for stopping windows fogging up.

thanks to Neil and Kel for persevering with helping out in rubbish conditions all weekend

yeah big one with Tyrell on the last lap exit of turn 3. nasty.

but actually considering it was the last round, and everyone was racing for sheep stations, everyone was amazingly well behaved.

youtube is going up now

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Lifted R32? Jay (LowStandards) has you covered.

      I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
