Yeah wakie and coota were awesome. wish I had got to see the hill climb as well.

the other thing re: changing cars for different rounds gives everyone a chance of running.

I'm sure there are guys with 9 sec evos in the evo oz club who would have loved the chance to run at coota. but they stuck to the same guys.

We planned on sticking to the same guys too but Nulon wanted to attract crowds and no better way to do that then bring 1000hp skylines :P

haha yeah. my thoughts too.

id rather see the even grow instead of being a bit meh with everyone running 14.2 @ 98.

spectators/bums on seats is what will make the event huge.

if foosball teams can change their line up depending on who the are playing we (all teams) should be able to as well

Exactly. And its up to the clubs to give Nulon something back for making the event happen :)

I believe SAU has done the best it can to achieve that.

Yep, Chris was stoked at our efforts!

I'm all for giving everyone a go, but there's only so many 12 or slower second cars that people want to see on a runway before it gets boring. Especially in a competition

We did our best over the 3 rounds and had a lot of support! To all the guys and gals that came to the 3 events a big THANKS :action-smiley-069:

Hell, I ran a mid 12 with a hole in my radiator and no belts!! lol

Lol still would have beaten me even with a busted radiator :P

I understand why Nulon chose to change the rules, and why we took advantage of the changes.

But personally I preferred the previous rules (ie a certain % of the cars had to carry over, I think it was 4/6). Also if they were my rules every entrant would have to financial member of the club and specific exemptions granted to run a separate marque than the club's focus.

And one other thing, although it certainly worked in our favour; I would have equal points available from each round. Round 3 was almost 50% of the available points which is too high a weighting.

In the end, this is meant to be a club event not a superlap competitor.

None the less, good on Nulon and Chris in particular for having the vision and commitment to go through with this, I'd love to see it continue.

I agree, the rule would have made it interesting to see who had the best all rounder... However we played with the rules and took advantage of them :)

2015 planning is currently underway so all feedback will be noted.

you'd have to create a user and login anyway.

They have been saying they are the only ones that kept to their forum models(all drove evo), and that we had evo and others.

Apparently we also didn't carry drivers over between rounds?

Baby's.

I think the rule change was better actually. Why not let all clubs bring the best field they can to all three events?

Really, a drag setup car is boring as shit to watch at the circuit and vice versa.

I know I wouldn't drive all the way to Cootamundra to watch only 12-13 second cars.

Either way you'll see that all clubs have their strengths somewhere. It's not like we fully dominated all 3 rounds.

I like the idea of equal points for each round.

Not too sure on the financial membership.

Not sure if evo_oz has financial club?

Also, as changed, I like being able to run the best the club/forum has to offer at each stage.

There aren't that many all rounders out there unfortunately.

So, the changed rules add alot more excitement to the events.

Not too sure on running the make/model the club supports.

I'm kind of for it.

I think Commodore club had a Corvette too!

I'm not fussed on the types of cars people bring as long as they're from the club/in their community.

It's not like we boot members out when they sell Skylines so why would we exclude them based on car type? If you want to get technical an R35 isn't even a Skyline so eventually leaves us to a point where we're disadvantaged because our cars aren't in production anymore and haven't been for a long time.

I reckon it's silly to have the same cars doing all the rounds, turns the whole event into a 1 horse race where the team with the 1 super fast car wins everything. Having teams pulled from a larger membership base better reflects the depth of the competing club. After all this should be about the club not the fastest car.

Also equal points per round would have been better. I think we still would've won but it would've been a much closer race. As it was the double points only really suited fast drag teams at the back of the pack (fords) and all round fast awesome teams :P

    • I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3
    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • 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 !
