Entry list was supposed to be posted last night so I dunno.

There are only 40 entries or so atm. And I also wouldnt be too concered if your credit card hasn't been charged. They used to do this as it makes it easier if you have to cancel. So you can expect to not be charged until after the event has been run.

Why is that porche so slow :) He lifted off on the flipflop!!! A video in your car would be better andrew :)

Hey - anyone who hasnt been to Calder before and wants to see some in-car footage here's a good one of a 911 Carrera Sport 3.2

Lap of Calder - Its pretty big at 7.3MB as a warning.

But it gives you a good feel for the bumps at the end of the straight, the hill and the flip flop.

In all seriousness, can anyone with a spare vid cam pm me if i am able to borrow it on Saturday. I want to get some good footage of the guys competing

No Scotsman or Snowman???

It will be interesting to see how Wayne goes. He was quick in a relatively std car, INAsNT says his new car is quite the weapon

I won't be entering. I got the gtr on the road this w/e and it still needs a few small thing doing. I don't really want to thrash it without driving it for a while. Can't afford to spend more money atm. Looks like the Southern 80 is the go!

Have a great track day guys. Might enter the Calder Rally event but I need to speak to somebody who knows about it first. Is there an agenda listed?

Also - if anyone coming down to watch / have a look and you may be able to flag for part of the day/night please email - [email protected] to express your interest.

As well as helping out, you really get an awesome and up close view from the flag points.

this is a club sprint, there is no requirement on the sup reg to have the tow hook painted red or a tow hook sign. I think some of the tarmac rally there is stricter requirement on this.

from wrx club sup. reg. for the event.

> h) All vehicles must have tow hooks fitted

They recommend having after market tow hooks because they are easy to access and will not damage body kits (if you have a body kit that is). Otherwise the standard toe hooks will get you out of trouble. But like nonalcoholicrwd said they are not a requirement for these track days.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
