good fun day, nice to meet some more peeps

mick

saw all the debri from the mini tornado ..just got the heavy rain ..and some ass hole in and old merc owes me half a set of brembo pads and some clutch for breaking down and causing the usual coast home run bunfight

until then it was just a great day ..thanks to the organisers from me and family.. the stagea also enjoyed it :O

The whole thing was pretty good for the size of the cruise. Just 2 things we might have to implement for the next one.

** workshops that brings car to advertise there ware should contribute a sizable donation and in return, get to set up table and hand out promotional brochures at designated points.

** ppls need to wear a tag of their nick, as I got tire, after the 100 time I asked ppls what their nick is after talking to them for 5 mins.

just a thought.

Had a great day

nice to see the old crew out and of course to meet some new faces :O

a BIG thankyou for Erin and the SAU Execs for organising such a great day ... kudos to you.

Also thankypu to all those who donated for the Kids, I'm sure it will be very much appreciated.

Now bring on the pics ....

Managed to get thru all the twistys before the rain hit. But shit a brick! I've never seen anything like that. After dropping my mate off I couldnt get back on the gateway as the on ramp was flooded. And then I took the longway, that was almost as bad. And I am going to systimatically kill one by one every single 4x4 owner in existance that drives their 4x4s on the road. They are stupid in the wet. I got drenched by one because they couldnt drive safe like every other car on the road, just 80kmh thru a 30cm deep half flooded road. I want them to die!

Anyway, good day other than that. Good to catch up with everyone, REALLY good amount of money rasied. Blitzed last years efforts. And also beat NSW apparently with the car count.

Excellent day, and that's coming from the missus. We really had a good time meeting some of the peeps I am always talking about, and Reagan my 7 week old seemed to enjoy (sleep through the bouncy roads.

Was good to be able put a few more faces and cars to names. Excellent turnout.

Big thanks to Erin and the rest of the execs who made this day possible. Their hard work and professionalism made this day a worthy event.

Look forward to a bigger and better cruise next year.

Cheers

Pete

Yeah BAZ033 and I left Summerset dam early, it pissed down when we got to Wivenhoe dam and could hardly see a 1m ahead, and on the Warrego hwy, a car had aquaplaned into the some trees down the ditch in the centre of the hwy :)

Was a good cruise, only problem was some of the roads weren't coilover friendly especially that bridge in progress (my neck still hurts) :lol:

Can't wait till the next one :O

Had a bloody great day!!

Good to see so many machines in the one place

Erin and gang, thanks for your efforts – well done!

I went home via Ipswich – what a mistake that was….

Nothing like driving directly into a storm from hell.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
