Ok, now that I have your attention.

SAU NSW are having an Eastern Creek track day on sunday October 8. I am presently waiting on Wakefield Park to come back to me with regard to availability around that date for a second track day to make the journey worth your while.

Let the talking begin! :D:(

yeah don't forget due to nsw's closer alignment to the equator that GTSTs are quicker up here than GTRs :|

John's boat is a likely attendee, and sydneykid, GTR Jason and a couple of other quicker gtrs too.

Should be fun but we need deposits to hold places, the last track day sold out :D

Well you have to compare that to the other options....

Drive 1000klm @ say 10l per 100klm * 1.50. Will also need either other wheels or accept that you are gonna use a heap of semi slicks

Tow a trailer - need a trailer, and then 1000klm @15l/100klm. And the stress of towing a car that far.

$300 for the car and about 120 for a flight.

I have already got quotes from TNT, even though we will book the entire truck (or two), they still want over $300 per car, one way, with a minimum ground clearance of 5" (125mm :D).

5" of ground clearence?!?!

LOL - you are all jumping the gun!

I'm working on something but at the moment it looks like it will be in November - rather than this date in October.

Getting Wakefield for this date seems to be the problem. It's a long way to travel and so expenses are going to be high when you consider travel and accommodation - so everything I am doing is aimed about making this trip as affordable for as many as possible.

$220 is also about double what we pay for track days down here and I'm currently hoping to get everyone a date at Eastern Creek AND Wakefield for less than that total.

However - if I can get something organised for Wakefield then the 8th is still a possibility as it would be great to be there with SAUNSW.

guys try some of the other car carries like scots transport etc.

and duncan was it you that was telling me the other day how snowman couldn't drive a greasy stick up a dogs a55?

bring it on mexicans!

and troy since you are just a sydney boy stuck in melb behind enemy lines you can even borrow my GTST for the day since i'm sure your never ending project will not have ended. hehe i'm serious though.

try these boys:

in all seriouness though we need a few quick imported GTRs to show some cocky GTSTs a lesson or two.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
