Excellent day to be out.  The privateers generally sucked except for a few like the shoddy looking 180, Catherine's VK (you try drifing a boat), the Porker, and a couple other Silvias.

The Aussie entries weren't too bad.  

The D1 drivers.....Well, their in a class of their own, NUTZ!!!!  I don't understand why you would want to drift a corner at 100km/h+ while waving the car door open...  MAAAAAD!!!

Too bad about the kiss b/w the Benny's BMT180 and the HPI CA18 but as long as Fulllock keep their word, the fixing will be free.  Dunno bout 140 degree water temps though...Maybe someone should have told the D1 gut to turn the A/C off :D

I've captured all my footage and it's a 4.6gig avi file so I'm gonna put it all on a DVD for myself.  The D1 dancer was pretty cool too!!  I got him strutting his stuff and stlyin to Ms Christina!!

I hope u burn me a copy to man.

ive got the perfect view of that as i was filming right down the front on the right in front of that corner.... if i was on broadband i would post it up.

i reckon those guys in the truenos were pretty good... minus one of them.

i got a pic of me and horus with i think his name is Kenji? or something... the crazy one with no front teeth dancing with the girls at the end :D i also got them all to sign my HPI mag

thats one cool thing about them they were pretty easy going... the dancing one gave me, my cousin and horus one of his japanese cigarettes :)

Wish I could have been there:(

The s14 with s15 front (if it was red with black roof) was James Vahoumis' car from D1 Garage in SA. He also brought Bai (Signal's D1 driver) over for the event - they did a photo shoot over here for speed, and I got thrown around in the passenger seat of the 180 (same colours as the S14) by him (bai) was about the most fun you can have with your clothes on - its bizaare, he was so bloody relaxed and casual when driving.

Hopefully I will be able to make the next one - big ups for all that organised it all.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
