Why a Tuesday in the middle of the week?

Anyway...good luck and hope you wip....errrr...not wipe.....that REXES arse.

Don't shame the SAU Club.......

Maybe we should sponsor a few drivers to go around the circuits and get a good rep.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO WIN THOUGH :thumbsup::thumbsup::angry:;);)

agh.. just realised this is a Tuesday not on the weekend... thanks 700hp-GTR33!

WHAT??? - this event is on a SUNDAY people.

It is NOT on a Tuesday as some people are saying.

Folks, please,,,, Sandown ain't that good.

I reckon, in order :

1. Phillip Island

2. Phillip Is...

ok, now really,

1. Phillip Island

2. Winton

3. Sandown

4. Driving in heavy traffic with a tripple plate button clutch on a hot day with no aircon and the car is overheating and the windows won't wind down

5. Calder

I'm doing Calder because that track and I have some unfinished business to take care of.

There is an Island day in December with the Alfa Club. That would be a great way to sign off for the year. Anyone interested ?

I agree with Aaron. I don't see what everyone gets off about Sandown.

Tracks I've dirven my order would go.

1. Phillip Island

2. Calder GP Masters (where you turn left at the end of the straight and do a lap of the Thunderdome)

3. Wakefield

4. Deca Wang (You all know its cool)

5. Winton

6. Sandown

7. Calder National

Aaron I'll be up for Alfa Club in Dec for sure. I haven't been to the Island this year yet. I'll save my new tyres for it. :(

I like Sandown because it's a good track to guage times at, it's fun to drive and it's close! Great to spectate at too.

I've prefer Winton to drive on, but it's so far away... and I've never done PI

You can tell how good ppls cars are by the tracks they like :)

I dont like Phillip Island or Winton as my car is a bumbl,ing mess at them. Long sweeping corners bring my car undone half way through them where it just loses the plot. Ditto under brakes...all too often you are braking with a bit of attitude on the car which means my car wants to swap ends and kill you. So you have to take it easy when coming up to corners and brake early and lightly. :P

So then take Sandown, and car shortcomings can be muscled around as the corners are all slow 90deg corners. Braking is all typically in a straight line, so you can really attack the braking, and mucle the car through the corners getting onthe power early and using the kerb on the exit to get onto the straights. In a POS car you can still drive pretty hard and have fun.

Pi, Winton etc you cant do that :P

So, of the tracks i have driven, the most fun are:

1. Sandown

2. Oran Park

3. Wakefield.

4. Phillip Island

5. Eastern Creek

6. Calder

7. Winton

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
