As it seems a few people from the club are going to the Queens Birthday track day organised by circuit club, I would try to make a list of who is going, so we can have an SAU presence there, maybe even head down in a group.

Details for the track day:HERE

I am booked in and am also trying to organise a garage so we have a spot to change wheels and store our stuff.

Please post here or PM if you are confirmed for this day and I will add you to the list.

For those who want to cruise down to Wakefield together, I can meet at Casula Bunnings car park at the cross roads from 6:30am leaving at 6:45am. This is located where the Hume Hwy splits into Camden Valley Way and Campbelltown Road. There is a link to a map on the second page.

I think this is a good spot as it is near the M7 and M5 and it is easy to get on the Freeway and head to Goulburn from this point.

Let me know who wants to meet up from here and PM me if you want my mobile to co ordinate things.

CONFIRMED:

Yeah I'll be there, along with a few mates.

Unfortunatly my car is only half sorted. I'm still waiting on my new front springs/other suspension bits to arrive and some cam gears and timing belt.

Knowing my luck, they wont arrive. But i'll have a stack of fun anyway.

wish i could make it, but too close to gold coast autosalon and that has sucked up all my money. I really wanted to get down there on some track rubber instead of the crap i used last time, mind you i still managed a 1:14 :thumbsup:

NEWS FLASH FOR THIS EVENT

I have just been informed that Circuit Club is having trouble arranging the timing equipment for this event. The usal company that does the timing is tied up with the V8 supercars.

So it may NOT be a timed track day!!!

I will still be going, I just hope they can arrange an alternative for timing.

Anymore SAU people coming as I need to let them know how many garages we need?

That means we are down to only 3 people from SAU for this event.

Is no one else up for a track day?

I'm a tenantative yes for this one

If I can get my power steering fixed in time I'll head down for a spin! But so far, it's not looking good.

What time do we need to be there?

I'll be taking the M2/M7/M5---->Goulburn.

ap

I'll check but I assume 8:30-9:00 - figure a 2 hour drive that mean we leave Sydney 6:30-7:00?

I'm just north of the bridge so I can either go across thur the city and catch the M5 by the airport or around and catch it M7 down.

I am now a maybe for this event.

Went for a wheel alignment on the weekend and found that something is bent in the rear as I have over 7 degrees of toe in on one of the rear tyres.

Hopefully can find the problem and repair before this day.

If I make it I will be happy to meet up somewhere and drive down as a group.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
