CAMS called me today and said I was too fast to participate in this day

sorry guys

perhaps we can have a play once you guys get up to speed.

have fun

yogi... pm coming!

awwww sucks :bunny:

well my engine finaly died :) i have 4 broken pistons, ringlands to be exact. i dont think i have time to do an engine swap after work today, but wel see.

needless to say i wont be racing.

this sucks too... but it means more time for you to instruct me COS THE CAR IS FIXED AND WE'RE COMING!!!

It was a close call there, found out 5.30 yesterday that the vibration is goooooooone and it's getting tuned today. As soon as she's done we'll be hitting the road. Should arrive early Sat morning. Not sure what we're gonna do til we leave for Golburn but i'm sure we'll find something :) *wees with excitement*

Sorry to hear about the car dave.. it held up so well! hopefully she will be as good as new!

Jeez, 9 degrees.

Anyone got a paddy basher we can set fire to in the pits, to keep warm?

You guys really think 9' is cold!!! hahaha you have another thing coming.. I was down there 2 weekends ago..

It was -3' One of the guys racing (an older gentlemen) was walking around in shorts!

There was ice on the cars! the mirrors were frozen solid!

how many are pulling out???

im coming down to watch....spent too much money this month....bought a oil cooler/filter relocation kit and a catch can, 6 semi slicks for a track day in september....

should be good....its not going to be a swinning pool like the last track day i spectated at.....very wet...

good luck guys!!!

Cant wait to get on the track its been a while since ive been to waky but i know its gunna be fun as long as my last minute mods get done and hold up. So what time do we have to be there in the morning for the scruteneering?

I won't be able to make it this weekend either. I wasn't racing anyway, but was keen to come down and help out, as well as spend a night or two in Canberra to catch up with family and also check out the Sutton Road complex before meeting up at Wakefield to spectate and help out.

Oh well..

Okay so news just in... tune was nearing completion when she started to run lean. Bad fuel filter or some shit, but it's all fixed and getting tuned tonight. Unfortunately due to secret squirrel location of dyno we don't get it back til 8.30 tomorrow morning. So we won't be hitting the track til late tomorrow night. jebus this better be worth it :worship:

ok well im in the process of rebuilding my "good" motor now. just finnished the bottom end. now all i have to do is do the engine swap tomorrow. (i did a 36hour day on wed/thurs doing a head swap.) f**ked. started it at 6pm and didnt get it going till 5am. drove home,brushed my teath and went to work then got sent home at lunch cos i was a zombie lol

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • 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.
