Course it is - there is a NSW contingent coming down. Eric (NSW) & Vu (SA) are going to be doing some filming for state clubs that will go onto the DVD as well, so it'll be quite awesome :)

Just to spectate @ both events will be free :)

if its th one in your avatar, its a cube with mags. Mr Chef has set the bar with cubes

Why so serious? It's almost stock, I'd just be entering for a laugh, it wouldn't win anything. But I was making the point that some FWDs might like to enter and there's no class for them to enter in.

Perhaps its just me but I dont see the point of a "Best Intruder" class when there are still other area's to add trophies for the skylines.

"Best Engineered" for example. Sure its a pipe dream for me, but if the class existed, I would be stoked if I won it. Or of I didn't it would be nice at least to be compared with other highly engineered cars. Best modified R32/R33/R34 could also potentially have their own classes.

Considering Im driving over 6000km to attend this event, I see "best intruder" as being about as important as the best commodore burnout. Both are things I won't be looking at while at a 'Skyline' event.

(Dont take that as though I'm hating on your cube either. After all, my other car is a vw! We are all entitled to our bad tastes and insanities.)

Good ideas there Ian, and valid points. It's people like you travelling as far as you are - is what we are trying to accommodate best. Hence limited track day numbers to give everyone as much track time as possible for their travel.

Best Modified though - interesting class given there is already "best R34" and "best overall GTR" - the same car would potentially already take two trophies and then best mod as well.

Unfortunately the budget for the event isn't endless so can have unlimited trophies for all classes.

Although that said I've been talking to 2-3 places for trophies and getting rough quotes. If its as all possible there will be more classes. Will come down to whatever kinda deal can be organised really

Hoping to get all the SAU Club Presidents along to do the judging, and then one club member as well or something.

Was also thinking of a SAU Club "grudge trophy" for the Club with the most attitude, and then each year it gets taken into account and various clubs could win it for the year haha. Nothing like a bit of friendly rivalry,

Gotta say I'm massively pumped about this. Finishing touches being applied to the 32 in preparation, but damnit shoulda done the track day on the Sunday and show n shine the day before - cos the car is going to rock up perfect, then get thrashed on the track.... I need a pet detailer :D

yeah sussed it out, looks to be plenty of options available so that's a good sign. Not sure what days I'm coming yet or if I'm staying, so I'll look again when I know what's going on..

Any idea where the majority of the Vic guys are staying?

Hey guys, just wondering where the saturday night stuff (Sat 29th Evening - Finger food/group function & Track Day Trophies) is being held, just trying to figure out where to stay.

Has anyone thought about letting car magazines know this event is going on

Might give sau some sort of reputation and might get more member and help out each sector of sau financially

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
