LOL.. just came back from there.. good food :)

big p00f drag racers all running off at a hint of rain :)

Good to meet you guys today :P, lets do it again some time (the drag day not the wet bbq)

Big poof drag racers?That's a bit harsh,init?I thought it was the officialdom that canned the day for all & sundry...even those of us trackday nutters that drove 3 hours to watch a different type of motorsport that still involves our favorite brand/s of car. So...anyone else feel ripped off that not another drop fell AFTER the day was postponed?!?

:P

you missed lunch Jase

Yep,I couldn't get near a 'puter 'till just earlier...Stoopid me for leaving earlier :( ! Still,I'm assuming I also missed a whole day of racing,had it gone ahead. Whilst a trackday would've gone ahead,no matter the conditions,it's a a right royal pain in the proverbial that the powers that be canned todays' meeting. Still,I"ll probably still do six hours return drive to watch 'Lines hurl themselves down the strip at WSID! Who made the call anyway? I know it's more Mother Nature's fault,but it's gotta suck being the person that canned a day that didn't receive a drop after it was pulled...meh;bring on the next day!! :D

Yes Duncan the following comments are directed towards you.....

Maybe it was pulled by people who didn't travel 6hrs to be here, or book 2 nights in hotel to attend. Or, hang on maybe they didn't have a car to run.....or don't even "race". Ahh well WSID cancelled a points round of the National Champs to make a day for us to run.....good call......didn't even get a phone call for cancellation....or a call to join a bbq for lunch...... its late and im hungry......can't you tell!!

Nice one Paul.

1. The day was cancelled so that every entrant would not lose their money.

2. If even one car ran the organisers charged us full price.

3. Even a light shower means the track is unavailable to be used for between 1 and 2 hours.

4. No-one on the SAU committee is a weather specialist, we had to decide on whjat we could see

5. While you may have a 10 second car there were some quick cars as well particularly the 9 or even 8 second rotors and there was serious concern from the track about their ability to pull up in a braking area with standing water when running 10" wide slicks.

6. Despite there being 50 paid entrants, you personally were contacted a number of times by a number of people once the decision was made to minimise the impact on an out of towner.

Feel free to organise a dust garage drag day and take the financial risk yourself if you don't like how the SAU committee did it.

Adam and the rest of the team put an enourmous amount of effort into organising this day, and the fact that we have cancelled mean we have even more work to organise the next one with organising ppl who could not make this and had to drop out, the waiting list etc etc. And comments like yours really motivate people to organise events in their volunteered time.

Feel free to prove me wrong by spending your time to organise an event that doesn't interest you like a track day.

at the end of the day your always going to step on someones toes by canning an event or running an event when the weather is like it was..... i am sure people would have had something to say had the event been run and then cancelled due to a few light showers through out the day.... we should all be greatful that the SAU crew are willing and able to organise events like this for us all to enjoy, even if the weather doesnt make it easy

hahaha Duncan.....its a trash talk thread

Wise decision was made in the end to suit all people, and always grateful of the work Adam/Bu5ter put in to organise these days. That does not mean i cant be upset and put out by the decision made...does it?

Silly name calling (dust garage) is very childish and pathetic.....but typical of you.

    • Nah, new members can't post pics until they reach a certain post count. If I get a chance I'll promote you to full member, if @Prank or someone else doesn't get there first.
    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
