Next SAU track day is kind of blended into one of the super sprints on 30th Oct, but I think a small mini tiny sneaky track day may be the go in September? At least I hope so 'cause I can't make the 30th :P

Interested to hear, what aftermarket brakes do you have on there?

Oh, and welcome!

pretty sure they're some sort of DBA slotted and drilled with sports pads, i wanna get an intercooler and oil cooler, and a replacement passanger rear strut (currently a little bent :() before i head out... or would it be fine with the stock cooler? and fixed strut obviously :P

I have an r33 with the stock intercooler and oil cooler (and pretty much everything else stock as well..). She's been running well with no issues for ~4 track days now, I'm just trying to take it easy and get the lines right though. My brakes and tyres overheat before anything else though, so It may be different with your set up :)

I m thinking a bit of sneaky practice would be the go too. theres not many free days at the end of september, maybe early september or early october...???

Agh yeah, the pads a really squeaky but are ment to be new, so I'm thinking they might be half decent ones?

Anyone have a stock series 1 coilpack they would like to donate to a fellow boat owner?? Hobart area :)

I've got a whole heap of rb coilpacks for sale off 2 motors i'm parting if you want a cheap one?

Early October sounds like a winner to me, I need to order in some new brake pads and get the rotors machined before I do any other kind of track work, as soon as they start to heat up and I brake heavily it feels like I'm driving over a never ending cattle grate :P

Will have to look into some specific dates for a sneaky practice

Yeah tweetywoof thats me, you say its a series one RB25 then yes they're exactly the same, RB25 series 2 don't use an igniter module on top of the motor and the series 2 coils have little modules on the top of each one that the normal ones dont..

Oh and just after $25 each

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
