and the more complex the system the more things to go wrong;)

Everyine there had some little drama I think.

[Roy]

Enough talk, more action. Geoff where are the photos of your car withe the cheater tyres, it looked way tough with the Weds...pleas tell me you got piccies of it.

[Roy]

This is a good pic....can anyone spot the creative and organisational skills of Snowman

HINT: look at the models of cars and then the background

[Bec]

hahahahaha

i didnt think that was going to show up in a photo

[Duncan]

hahaha that was a big effort....I want to know what was parked in the next garage

[funkymonkey]

how come 31 dosen't have a number?

[Scotsman]

Cause we didn't have a 31. Cause 31 drivers in Melb need to get their ass to the track.

I took this photo and if you look closely you'll see I have added the larger numbers cause I didn't know if you would be able to see the smaller ones.

[funkymonkey]

i see geoff on one side and what looks like adz on the other side... where were their cars?

[GTRgeoff]

Iwas on the other side of snowie and Adz was next to me.

Now for some piccies.

[SABBAi]

Yeah I need to egt out on the track again. I was hoping to come down for the weekend, but someone had the fun job of replacing an exhaust manifold gasket and almost all of his ignition system.....

I'm getting my ECU chipped, a set of King Springs Super lows, and a boost controller next month. Oh, I get my Slotted rotors, and my twin piston front calipers soon!!! And I'll finally be able to run some decent pads like EBC green stuff or something. :burnout:

[Snowman]

So Team - whats the plan for the next day out?

Anyone keen for Phillip Island for 18-19/9? I know both me and Emre are.

The AROCA Day at Sandown on the 19th is sold out already. We'll run the same risk with the HSV Club if we are slackers! BTW - I do know for a fact that the HSV Club will allow passengers in the mornings.

Also - if anyone cares - the professional pics are up at www.sdpics.com

[adznight]

Yeah I'm keen! We'll have to sort out cost etc. And hunt some semi's

[Roy]

Im happy to put my name and money down for the Phillip Island weekend, though i doubt i will be able to make it, but someone else can always step into my shoes...as long as we know the spot is available.

I am keen to take ur spotif you dont make it, and i am actually in freaking victoria on that weekend.

Do you require a special license for PI?

[Roy]

Snowman (I think he is the SAU-Vic CAMS delegate) will be able to hook you up with the required CAMS licence. You will have to become a member of SAU-VIC though.

Membershiop is $50 odd, and licence is $92 odd and is valid for 12 months.

[Duncan]

I'll be in for *any* track day organised before the end of October.

With the Phillip island weekend, its a supersprint right? I'll need to borrow an extinguisher and tie down from someone to put in whatever hertz give me.

[Scotsman]

I'll be there. Lets go for it.

Any one got any ideas how I can replace the rubber boot on my shifter? I pulled the shifter out on the weekend and it seems that the boot is made around the shifter, cause I can't see how it would streatch over the top of the shifter or over the ball at the bottom. Geoff you got any suggestions on this?

Also Roy make a date for R32 repairs.

[Duncan]

can't the shifter knob screw off?

BTW, which night are we having beers this week you antisocial vics?

[GTRgeoff]

Yeah Roy, lets get it fixed and dot the HSV/MSCA weekend at PI.

Chris, hunt around for a similar sized boot that will fit under the trim boot. Just have to stop the "bleeding".

[Roy]

Duncan, this Wednesday September 1 there is a NDSOC (Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club) meeting at the Whitehorse Inn, 5 Burwood Rd Hawthorn.

Ill be there for a few shooies and a schnitzel...we can discuss perhaps going halvies in another Echo if my car isnt ready.

Chris/Geoff im still waiting on the mechanic to get back to me about where i stand with my engine woes...ill call thenm again tomorrow. Im starting to think about how wise is it to use my old bottom end with another head...it is at least ripping th esump of my old engine and having a quick look at the condition.
