Yeah nice turnout guys!,

that sucks you had to work tonight skyzer but at least you got to check out some of them lines!

Hope some of you guys gave some donations to Booztsor for the Soap on a roap fund for bubba and his new friend :-)

Oh and Macka hope you got the Digital Cam working coz i wanna see some nice pics of the hats! as skyzer said.. THE HATTS ARE PHATT!

Yep good work by all, esspecially Greg for breakin the "curse":)

Map was ok (apart from that insane run through Burswood) would have been ok if we had alot less ppl. We had some cop attention but they didnt bother any1 too much.

BTW: Boo5t did i see u at Kings park at around 3-4am?

I managed to rack up around 120-150ks last nite so i assume u did more;)

A write up ? where to begin?!

Okay, let me just get this out in the open and tell everyone now... I'm a tool!

Had a little nudge with Bryan (gunmetal gtst) at Burswood at the roundabout..

I was just accelerating out of the "casino loop" part of the cruise, to go back onto GE Hwy..... up to the roundabout... I thought he was going through as there was a car waiting to the right... but I was wrong.. A little too fast I was....

... so basically didn't have enough time to stop.... brakes locked up (VERY suprised at that, never happened before to me) and I nudged Bryan's rear. Albeit relatively slow at the time of impact, still enough to scratch the rear.

A few very minor scratches to both cars.. nothing serious, I spoke with Bryan and apparently they polished out :)

I did hit his exhaust though, which left a nice ring on my fron bumper... there was some damage where the pipe meets the resonator, most likely needs a small tack weld to fix it up.

So there you have it. I'm a UNIT. but for the same token, very lucky that no more damage was done.

Bryan, you've been a champ about it all! I woulda been spittin' chips! Legend. Send me the bill for the exhaust and i'll fix you up!

So there's my story.

-Kym.

may I quickly take this time to say you're a tool as well! :)

hehe nah just kidding mate, it's all good I'm sure! Everyone makes a mistake now and then, and good for everyone this was small

was good cruise nonetheless though!! any pics from it?

adam32, pity you and oscar(?) had to turn off, I was getting in the mood for a quick sprint with you guys when you shot by :( :burnout:

Uhhh not that i recall:) I love the looks on the faces of the Gawkers as we drive past.

Were u the Silvia that owned me down ocean beach road Butters?

There were a few points where i think the map could have deviated. Eg canning hwy should turned to preston point (i know how u love this adam32) i went anyway and rejoined at the same position i left.

U should all get CB's so we can make changes as we go.:) (and remeber to bring em along:rolleyes: )

Hey i didnt know u saw me do that. It was actually an Scoupe and when i overtook i hit a can or something and totally freaked out as i didnt see it b4 hand. Plus last nite i went round my favorite drift corner and nailed a bottle which was almost perfectly placed *sigh* well my tyre isnt flat yet.

hehe yeh the canning hwy turn-off which goes around preston and then in front of left bank, ending up under the bridge then to captain munchies is the BEST route!!!

aaanyway, next time i guess. im gunah modify my map after uni exams to make it readable for all and then volunteer it for the next cruise!!

jules: yeh wed just annihilated a V8 on west coast hwy and were caning along when i spotted ur car. thats my house though (off oceanic) and we were cruising home. another time im sure :burnout:

yeh, I saw the guy at scarbs with the video camera too and thought s h i t whats going on hear.

Havent seen any skyline footage on TV yet so that good.

Good cruise though, but not quite as long as the last 150 odd km one i recall, or was it 100, i used half a tank off fuel !!:eek:

haha those boys never learn :)

I dragged a supercharged VK V8 on the way to Freo earlier in the night :burnout: muchos wheelspin but all he got to see was my :shake: :whip:

good cruise, enjoyed it, the guy on the side of the road with the camera looked a bit dodgy, but ohh well what can anyone do?? its just a cruise, need more people with cb's there were only a couple on there, but i suppose all in good time.

catch ya's on the next one:D

Yes, and Yes.... Stay tuned, I'll keep you all posted... hopefully with GOOD news :)

Cmon strich9ine , ya know you want a 32 GTR. Think of the grip, think of the power, think of the chicks, think of the insurance.... err no , DON'T think of the insurance.

Anyway, if you decide that a 33 is not for you then email me.:)

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
