Training 44
As the league is now coming to an end for La Trobe Uni, this might be the last training session.
We started the session on RMIT Bundoora on a synthetic pitch ^^. This is the first time i've played on a synthetic pitch actually, and boy is it soooo damn nice!!! Its 180 degree flat and the grass are all nicely put on. But when i dive or if u took a tumble on the pitch brace for a sharp abrasive pain T.T.
We had a good light training session, which saw me had a better understanding of positioning, which always tend to keep to the outside of the post abit more when ur guarding your angle, cause what i always do is to cover my near post too much that i left my far post open wide....
We finished early to go back to La Trobe's ground for the Annual General Meeting, but today's training session made me realize that you can still enjoy football in some other way ^^.
Fourth's Coach: When Ronaldo shoots his free kick he aim at (mark a side of the ball) here rite??
Me: Err, ya, why?
Fourth's Coach: Oh im asking cuz you can do it.
^^......

Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 V-Spec II Nür
The V-spec II Nür is actually a limited edition of R34 GT-Rs, being only 750 in the world, and although the difference is mainly on the engine part, with the Nür edition has the RB26DETT N1 engine that Nismo uses in the motorsport scene, but just the meaning of it being one of 750 in the whole world is just mind blowing, and boy did i stumble upon one myself.
A V-spec II Nür....
Carbon Diffuser....The design of this is just staggeringly detailed...
You really can't go wrong with that look....The GT-R just have that look that differs itself from the low line GT-T or GT-S...
Nothing ever go wrong with NACA ducts on your car..
Notice original rims and high ride height? Talk about originality...
A more clearer view of the whole diffuser...It even has a big NACA duct on the center of diffuser, to channel air to cool the rear diff and HICAS unit....
Functional front diffuser...
Now in this dark picture (sorry bout that) is a picture of the aluminium lower arm of the front suspension. Now attached to the lower arm, is a aluminium plate, which doesn't seem to do anything at all.....but then it hits me that this is actually a self directed brake cooling system, the front bumper channel cool air through the side holes on the lower part of the bumper, and the air that gets channeled hits the plate, diverting their air path, onto the brakes. Talk bout pure motorsport oriented engineering......
The RB26DETT N1...
Carbon Fiber Hood
Tein doll !! I want this !
As my friend Victor says "The best part of a GT-R lies in the boot", as this pic justifies that. Here we have the battery on the rear, and beside it, is the computer or ECU for the ATTESA-ETS 4-wheel-drive system. One of the reason they place this just beside the battery might be to decrease the little resistance that length of the wire produced, talk bout detail....and also a adjustable strut bar for the back ~~
So there you have it, one in the 750 only in the world...a clear example of the engineering level 10 years ago, and what scale would it be like, in another 10 years.....
Maybe nowadays car has lost that detailed engineering, or passion, that 10 year old cars seem to have, and proud of. But its not to say that future automotive is sure to die from marketing strategy and profit margins, it is just that.....it might become rather irrelevant, for future cars to have this kinda engineering level, as fewer and fewer people will appreciate it, even acknowledge it.
But at least there's cars of the past, cars like this, that reminds us of how the true cars, that was engineered with pure passion and patience, and that true will of delivering the best to people instead of wiping the butt of the CEO with their clever marketing scams or brilliant advertising skills.
It is cars like this that offers a consolation for the genuine car enthusiast, and it is cars like this, the GT-R, that has been dead for more than 10 years, that keeps automotive alive, with its demise.

Coin Purse ?
Do you know what this is ???
Almost 13 years ago, when my dad bring the whole family here to Melbourne, he bought one of this as well. 13 years later, we stumble upon this again. Its a coin purse, a purse that is for putting coins in it, now what special bout this one, is that its made from kangaroo's leather.....or more precisely, a kangaroo's scrotum's leather~~.
Now a scrotum is the name for the 'sarung' of the guy/man/boy kangaroo or any other organism's testicle or 'telur' ~ Seeing that this thing is on hot sale as one of Australia's 'trademark item' for so many years now~~ everyone should buy one of this as a souvenir when ur here in Oz^^

Melbourne Trip Concludes~ Pt.2
More pics on the engine..
Crankshaft's counterweight look-a-like
With red cover on it, sporting a Ferrari V10 look~
This, is Vodka Cruiser, a nice kinda alcoholic beverage that i seem to adore ^^^^^ 10% alcohol doesn't seem to make me drunk this one ~
Engine on the rear structure....this is abit irrelevant to a normal F1 car, as a normal F1 car has the engine and gearbox as a part of the car itself, and isn't bolted to the car's chassis, making the engine and gearbox as a stressed unit and holds the rear wing, suspension, wheel all in place.
Suspension arms for the rear, this isn't functional though, same as the front..><
The Final Drive i believe..
Final Drive bolted on~
Differential bolted on ~ and the car is currently on hiatus as im currently busy with everyday life, will continue on finishing it when i had ALOT LOT OF time...^^
At the last day we were still eager to go to the Victoria Market once again as Sis and Dad is in shopping frenzy of how cheap things were...we spotted this two singers originated from the mountains of.....something i can't remember, something of Alps or something.....but they are good ~~ the wonders of talent roaming on the streets of Melbourne can easily found a contract in Malaysia...
And before i go, spotted this nice Merc Benz C63 AMG.....V8 roaring ~
Vodka Cruiser ~
And as i got on the plane back to Malaysia, we were traveling with Air Asia airline, and i spotted that, on their First or Business Class, they have this fold-able seat which can make u lie down 180 degrees, this would require a large space behind the seat to make clearance, now on this space behind writes NO STOWAGE...now pls someone correct me and tell me, Air Asia didn't just do a typo on ALL the seats of their First or Business class seats !!
And the first car that caught my eye (well, other than the Kancils, Kembara, Hot weather, Wira with GT-Wing, at one point a Kancil with Racing Boy decal on its windscreen) is this, the Satria Neo CPS, and i think it looks much more better than the R3 Lotus Racing Edition...
On my way back to Melbourne, caught this peculiar scene of everyone having a go at the World Cup Semi Final match between Germany and Argentina, where Germany won 4-0, least the polices were 'busy' watching at this ~~~~

MATCH 12 Evergreen Utd 1-4 W.Crusade
8 balls missed in 2 matches what can i say more....
The game was a game of endurance...the first to lose the concentration lose, and we lose. Only 11 players, we were unable to field anymore extra players as substitute for the tiring players, while W.Crusade was a better team today with alot of attacking and long balls.
We did well on first half, even though we were 0-1 down we didn't give up and was keep pressuring, but during the last 15 minutes we were hammered the other 3 balls in....thats when things all go wrong.
Losing 8 ball in 2 match leaves a devastating effect on a keeper, while none of the ball was for my fault, i felt deeply responsible and sorry for my teammates.....W.Crusade wasn't particularly strong, but lack of players and their long ball have gotten the best of us...

Lego F1....Melbourne Trips concludes Pt.1
Soooooooooooooooo long ago when my sis and dad and family got over here for holiday and rite now, only i managed to find some peaceful quite time to complete this trip....and how cool is that i managed to get myself a Lego F1 set from Victoria Market?????
The parts in packets, this is a imitation of the Lego Technic 8386 Ferrari F1 Racer 1:10, its a big set that is 47cm or 18.5 inch long and feature a thorough 60 page of instructions. This model features a V10 engine block with movable piston-con-rod-crankshaft simplifying a combustion engine, coupled with a differential, although lacks of cylinder head (cam, valves etc..) and also rack and pinion steering system, which acts on the same principle as a normal rack and pinion steering system. But the car does not feature independent push-rod suspension, nor a fully functional gearbox...which is a shame...
Firstly, assembling the front crash structure
Suspension arms with uprights or spindle
Suspension attached with the front crash structure
Doing the front wing(it look abit bend on the other side, it is, as this is just a imitation, nothing is to a perfect scale, and therefore i need to shave, carve, cut a few bits and pieces to fit them in or on.....wonder how would a genuine Lego Technic's quality will be....^^
Wing on the front crash structure...
Doing the upper part of the crash structure
Steering Rack
Pinion on it, see how the Pinion moves the Rack left through right, while at the end of the Rack is the steering linkage that attaches to the spindle, this is how exactly our normal everyday car steering functions.
Assembling center structure
Amazes me how unsignificant things like this can look essential to the car itself moments later~
Pinion connecting to the driver's cabin
Main and rear structure seen~ a comparison of the car itself in 3/4 of its length, compare to a fruit knife.
Z610 camera shines with sun light ^^
Look like a Jet fighter...
But is actually the side panel for the car
Overall shape is coming out..
Moving on to the engine block, crankshaft and con-rod
with piston on ~ so cute ^^
The block, made transparent so u can see the operation
Engine block completed.
