the Aaron Phase 3 day sounds the same as a UAS day, no real formal instruction, but instructors on hand if needed.

yep, that's exactly what it's like. except that it's a bit less formal. ie, no grouping of cars into fast/slow etc. just get out there and drive!! this way you get a lot of track time. also they have proper, door handle to door handle races at the end of the day for people that A. think they are good or B. are going for a C3 licence.

I had Aaron spend some time with me in the GTR and it was time and money well spent.

hey guys,

First of all, big ups to Adam and Jaala, as this is pretty much their baby!!!! well done. A great success!

Congratulations also go out to all of the other helpers Merli, Mars & partner, Duncan & Kel, Dan & partner, Neil & Partner, the guys that helped with the selling of raffle tickets (sorry didnt get their names), my cousin Dejan (who got ropped into helping by myself, but enjoyed the day thoroughly), anyone else i missed and the organisational people that have put in leading upto and on the actual day.........and im sure the others that will put in as part of the closure of the event.

also what an effort by all the forum members who made it from near and far (that guy from wagga.........jesus what an effort!!). we had a huge (nearing on 100!!) and extensive range of skylines and various other models! without you guys making an effort on the day it wouldnt have been such a success.

thanks to the sponsors who stayed all day along with their demo cars!!! great to see!

i really enjoyed the day and helping out made it so much more fun.

and i hope the guys (sorry didnt catch the name) that i helped push out of the mud, and the other guy i helped push out of the ditch enjoyed their day too!!!

thanks again to everyone!

Jason, nice to meet you on Sunday... Sorry I didn't get to talk to you properly, I was extremely stressed about making sure all the cars were entered into the judging sheets... Next time for sure!

I think we should REALLY stress the importance of pre-entry next year. It would have made things run so much smoother and the judging would have been much faster too!

Anyway, please pass on a HUGE thanks to Dejan for helping me out with preparing the judging sheets, I appreciated it more than he could ever imagine :uh-huh: :D

At least there was one zed there frotn and centre that was nice. Like a fish out of water though.

Two zeds were there, well almost! lol. Mine was on the side of the road at the entry to the car park. Actually did anyone get a pic of it with the extinguisher dust on it? i didnt and i would like one just cause i think its well funny.

we didn't pre-enter due to the fact we didn't know if we were going to make it.....but judging should have commenced as soon as the first car was parked and ready to be looked at (my 2 cents)

I'm only sorry for the Mingara club members that wanted to have a quiet game of bowls... oooops... To all those who came up to say hi.. Thank you for yr kind words, to the OFFICALS.. I hope WE can do it again! It was an awesome experience.

    • The engine stuff is Greg Autism to the Max. I contacted Tony Mamo previously from AFR who went off to make his own company to further refine AFR heads. He is a wizard in US LS world. Pretty much the best person on earth who will sell you things he's done weird wizard magic to. The cam spec is not too different. I have a 232/234 .600/603 lift, 114LSA cam currently. The new one is 227/233 .638 .634. The 1.8 ratio roller rockers will effectively push this cam into the ~.670 range. These also get Mamo'ified to be drilled out and tapped to use a 10mm bolt over an 8mm for better stability. This is what lead to the cam being specced. The plan is to run it to 6800. (6600 currently). The Johnson lifters are to maintain proper lift at heavy use which is something the LS7's supposedly fail at and lose a bit of pressure, robbing you of lift at higher RPM. Hollow stem valves for better, well everything, Valve train control. I dunno. Hollow is better. The valves are also not on a standard valve angle. Compression ratio is going from 10.6 to 11.3. The cam is smaller, but also not really... The cam was specced when I generated a chart where I counted the frames of a lap video I had and noted how much of the time in % I spent at what RPM while on track at Sandown. The current cam/heads are a bit mismatched, the standard LS1 heads are the restriction to power, which is why everyone CNC's them to get a pretty solid improvement. Most of the difference between LS1->LS2->LS3 is really just better stock heads. The current cam is falling over about 600rpm earlier than it 'should' given the rest of my current setup. CNC'ing heads closes the gap with regards to heads. Aftermarket heads eliminate the gap and go further. The MMS heads go even further than that, and the heads I have in the box could quite easily be bolted to a 7.0 427ci or 454 and not be any restriction at all. Tony Mamo previously worked with AFR, designed new heads from scratch then eventually founded his own business. There he takes the AFR items and performs further wizardry, CNC'ing them and then manually porting the result. He also ports the FAST102 composite manifold: Before and after There's also an improved racing crank scraper and windage tray. Helps to keep oil in the pan. Supposedly gains 2% power. Tony also ports Melling oil pumps, so you get more oil pressure down low at idle, and the same as what you want up top thanks to a suitable relief spring. There's also the timing chain kit with a Torrington bearing to make sure the cam doesn't have any thrust. Yes I'll post a before and after when it all eventually goes together. It'll probably make 2kw more than a setup that would be $15,000 cheaper :p
    • Because the cars wheels are on blocks, you slide under the car.   Pretty much all the bolts you touched should have been put in, but not fully torque up.   Back them off a turn or two, and then tighten them up from under the car with the wheels sitting on the blocks holding car up in the air.
    • Yes. Imagine you have the car on the ground, and you mine away all the ground under and around it, except for the area directly under each individual wheel. That's exactly how it'd look, except the ground will be what ever you make the bit under each wheel from
    • Yes, if you set the "height" right so that it's basically where it would be when sitting on the wheel. It's actually exactly how I tighten bolts that need to be done that way. However....urethane bushes do NOT need to be done that way. The bush slides on both the inner and outer. It's only rubber bushes that are bonded to the outer that need to be clamped to the crush tube in the "home" position. And my car is so full of sphericals now that I have very few that I need to do properly and I sometimes forget and have to go back and fix it afterwards!
