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

Limit: - 30 places (first in best dressed)

Please fill out the following disclaimer before coming to the event.

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

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

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!

That was caused by a broken power pole/line

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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.

      Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
