the weather wasn't the best, but it certainly made for an interesting weekend!

we started the day with a run through the black spur and it's usual flinders st 5pm traffic jam, followed by a quick lunch at the Marysville bakery

after this we headed off towards mt buller and the weather decided to take a turn.

driving up the mountain with the roads completely soaked made for an interesting yet amazingly fun drive!

upon arriving at the lodge we all started to attack the ample supply of alcohol we had brought with us, and out came the nerf guns!

had some bread/dips/chips etc @ around 5pm and dinner @ 7:30 and i think we went to bed sometime around 3am?

anyway, had a great time playing drunk jenga and nerf wars!

big thanks to all for helping with the cleanup this year! it really makes all the difference!

also a huge thanx to merowyn!

I had a absolute ball and would like to say thanx to all that attended and helped make it such an awesome weekend!

cant wait for the photo's !

see you all next year :ermm:

great food as always! great drive!

Massive Thanks to Ham and Merowyn! next time Mel you can just kick back and relax, you were always cleaning should trade that sponge for a beer!

photo's shortly!

so tell me more about the trip home?

we had the crap scattered all over the mountain when we left, hit a few branches and rocks but no damage... but after brunch at the bottom of the hill it was smooth cruising all the way down the hume

i think this may turn into we got reamed thread we all got pulled over by 2 bike cops just out of yarra glen for the usual licence and rwc checks..they had a very quick look at my car and i was out of there(lucky volvo driver)...caught up with samatrix down the road and said there was a few unhappy faces with the police still he was lucky got held up through the spur..

Any way thanks hamish for the weekend and the indoor bbq was good to meet a few more people from sau vic and the nurf guns supplied hours of entertainment just wished that bloody rain and wind held off for more than 5 minutes

will be back again next year and looking forward to a few of the photos

Thanks you Hamish for organising the cruise, although we didn't get any runs on the mountain, it turned out to be a different type of awesome fun at the lodge :ermm:

And also thanks for everyone that helped clean up throughout the trip :huh:

charles loved getting woken up by a nurf gun then cleaning duties...and everyone forget that birds was still there and we all left without him except T.J

I blocked all 20 or so shots from you guys with my blanket, then afterwards, Dave decided to reload and shot me in the nose at point blank range lol

By the way, really want to say thank you to Charles for the ride and to Hamish and Merowyn for the organisation of the weekend.

It's all good :huh: Thanks for keeping me company for the trip! :ermm:

And here's a screenshot of my weather app on my iphone, we were dealing with 2.8 degrees:

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
