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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
