Hey guys - just thought I'd post this up here for those that don't search around all the other forums (I'm mean who does!?)

Us Vic guys - being the fastest SAU Club in Oz >_< - have decided to have a Road Trip to NSW to conquer a few new tracks - namely Wakefield and Eastern Creek. Unfortunetly there isn't an opportunity to do this over a weekend so we have found a calander in Novemeber where we can fit these tracks in over the week of November 7-11.

There is already some interest from Bunta and Russ (giant) to come and have a play with us so anyone else interested in coming along is more than welcome. The plan is to mainly meet up with the NSW guys at Wakefield on the Wed as EC can only gaurentee us 30 places for the Friday - so that is being saved for us Vics and any QLD guys interested.

Having said that we already have around 16 guys from Vic on the list coming up - and there are some seriously fast cars coming along too. Since most of you here will know giant - in the last head to head last year with a couple of the guys down here Franks car was over 3s per lap faster than gaints around Winton - and Franks is only the 3rd quickest of the cars coming. So if you are interested please let me know to reserve your spot ASAP.

The full details for the trip are:

1. Tuesday 7th November - Drive to Goulbourn/Wakefield

Accommodation - Wakefield Park Cabins - $50pp/pn - includes breakfast (2 nights)

2. Wednsday - Wakefield Park

Nice plan mate. Bunts & I are in for sho!

This will be a BLAST! Staying at the track was seriously the best! Such a good atmosphere.

Now to call for interest from any interested QLDers. Bunts and I would be looking to leave a few days beforehand, and make a stopover in Coffs Harbour. Kind of evens out the driving then. I would like to stress, however, please only nominate yourself if you are SERIOUS. We don't want to go committing numbers if we can't stick to it. It is a great drive, a nice way to get out and meet other Australian members, and I don't know, as I haven't met the VIC membesr yet, but the NSW members are fab, and I seriously can't express my love for a greater bunch of peeps >_<

So... anyone keen? There is plenty of time to get off work if need be, and work up that holiday pay :)

definitely interested. I've run at Baturst Speed Weekend a couple of times, and I was thinking about doing King Edward Park Hillclimb instead this year, but this looks like a better plan to me! Wakefield and the Creek are tracks I've always wanted to run on, and what better way than with a bunch of other Skylines!

count me in! R32 GTR

the NSW members are fab

(cheques in the mail) :yucky:

Just incase you guys are wondering, YES we will sort out a tv or something for the EC day so you dont miss the V8's - Victoria has asked for this so just letting you guys know :laugh:

Haha - what V8's? Which month are you in??

We missed that event due to lack of spots. Get with the times! :yucky:

Hahaha - shows how much i care about V8supercars

Ok, thats one less thing for NSW to do

I'll be honest and say I guessed. I figued if in doubt pick R33 GTST and I'd have a 99% chance of being correct! LOL

ha ha well you were part right! I own one of them too! But the R32 will be the one making the trip :yucky:

i might be in with another r32 / rb25 hybrid.. its all the rage

Have to check things before I can commit totally. Need a new set of track suitable tyres first I think. I don't want to be come all that way and then be cursing myself for having shitty tyres.

:grouphug: we are fantastic aren't we.

definately worth the trip guys, and staying at Wakefield itself was awesome having everyone together (apart from the lack of water in the mornings but I doubt that'll happen again cos it'll be a bit warmer when you come).

I'll definately be there!

Liz.

That was caused by a broken power pole/line

So yeah, i doubt it will happen again aswel :dry:

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
