After the last EOI (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/416591-eoi-simworld-2013/#entry6688024) died I'd see if we can organise another SimWorld event!

So - We (SAUWA) is thinking of holding another Social Event at Simworld in Carousel after the huge success of the previous events. Everyone had a great time at the last couple events although there have been a couple inflicted with motion sickness so its quite a ride

For those who don't know what SimWorld is check it out at http://www.simworld.com.au/ These are full simulators, where you get thrown about etc, nothing like anything you've done before.

The general format of the event is:

Group 1 - 5min Practice - Course 1
Group 2 - 5min Practice - Course 1
Group 1 - 10min Race 1
Group 2 - 10min Race 1
Group 1 - 5min Practice - Course 2
Group 2 - 5min Practice - Course 2
Group 1 - 10min Race 2
Group 2 - 10min Race 2
Group 1 - 5 min practice - course 3
Group 2 - 5 min practice - course 3
Group 1 - 10min Race 3
Group 2 - 10min Race 3
Final - 15min Race (combined results from Race 1, 2, 3 & 4 will determine who is in the finals)
* Minimum race time should be about an hour
** Comes with food supplied by Nandos or we can have pizza plus we can have BYO drinks
*** Group size is 9, as there are 9 Simulators

Note:
The costs approximately $65 if we choose nandos or pizza or $50 without food but I would imagine majority will want food so everyone will have to pay $65

The a full race simulators, not simple arcade games, so it will definately be an experience.

Friday nights we will get the longest time on the machines for our money and its been convenient for most people in the past. Maybe the 13th or the 20th of September might be a go-er?

Please register your interest ASAP, so we can make this event happen. Please invite family members (friends, wives, older kids etc), as all Simulators are equal, and doesn't require a drivers license We'd like to have this filled with SAUWA Members and there familys/friends, but seeing as we didn't get enough interest I'll open it up to the rest of SAU from the get go.

So far

* Trevz
* Lachy (Hank Scorpio)

* Gary

* Damo (Frosty)





Cheers
Hank

Sorry about the lack of replies guys, that's completely my fault, I do apologize.

"We have moved the machines down to the Albany Amusement Centre (formerly Albany Ten Pin Bowling)"


So SimWorld seems to be a no go, any other ideas you guys would like me to look into?

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
