Whos Going To Or Been To Winton Fun Day?


Recommended Posts

From my experience it is a great way to get into motorsport, its great to have a decent amout of time out there to get a feel, unlike a sprint day which is usually at most 5 flying laps, just dont cook you car because you have so long out there. keep an eye on all your fluids too. its also great for practicing passing, but can be frustrating being stuck behind cars with 'eleventy' billion hp but cant corner at all... once you have done a fun day or 2, you have to move onto sprint days!

Are you comin mate?

Yeah belsil thats i exactly what i had in mind...hit a few fun days then possibly carry on to the sprints, see how it all goes.

Ill be cruising up at around 2-3-4 on satday arvo....will be keeping an eye out for other skyliners!

Thinking about it, i want to try out some slicks so if it is dry i will, but probably wont get up there till 12-1oclock tho.

Hope to see ya there

Have fun though, take lots of photos.

I'll have my camera.

I had a great time today and was surprised that not many of you guys made it.

It was only me, Tom G and R31 Gags plus my mate with his soarer.

I had a great day and was surprised by how well my car went but the tyres sure had a hard time.

So you're all weak considering I had a busted hand and still gave it a go. (The pain dissapeared as I drove)

I have some pics...

me and my mates soarer

I had a ball and want to do heaps more track stuff in the future.

A lot of those "bogan" car were speedway cars, one or two were ex aus-cars.

And I am just glad you didn't post a pic of me now that you what I look like - doh!

BTW, do I look like my avatar

I had a great time as well! Best fun ive had in quite a while, and was great to see how my car would hold up to the conditions!

I did see some other lines...not many...i did see the black 32 TVS*** while passing by to get on the track saw the sau stickers. (I was the midnight purple 32 with primer bonnet)

Heres a few pics my mate and I got on my cam, jus to add to what you guys already have...took ages for resize n upload :laugh: oh well all worth it! Theyre great!

And yes thanks again Bigtrev for making it happen, i will certainly be down for next time and will be looking forward until then.

Most people kept their distances as the 'i dont want my car run into' mentally was maintained; well by me anyway...most passing was happening on the straights rather than the bends.

Although there was some people who decided it was Race day instead of fun day.... :yes:

No mishaps anyway, all was good! :stupid:

Some cool pics there. Sad to see the grass so yellow as I was there for the Dutton in Sept and a couple of times before that and it was much greener.

Looks busy too! I wouldnt mind heading up for one if I thought my tyres would stand up to it.

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • 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
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • 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.  
    • 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?
