Hi everyone,

Round 3 of the Winton Motor Raceway BP Midland/Pedders No Bull Sprint Series will be held on July 1st. This is the 3rd round of the 5 round series. For anyone who has never competed in one of these events before it is basically an entry level into motorsport. There are very basic requirements for your vehicles and the whilst you will be competing for trophies it is aimed at having a bit of fun. If you have tried the Fun Day and enjoyed it, then this is the next step. The cost is $90 if you pre-enter or $100 on the day, which is extremely CHEAP!! You will need a AASA Club Licence or higher which is $50 for 12 months if you dont already have one. The entry forms and regulations can be downloaded from HERE

The Classes are more than reasonable and are as follows:

1A Road Registerable Under 2 Litre

1B Road Registerable Over 2 Litre

2 Improved Production (eg. WRX, XR6, Skylines)

3A Modified Under 2 Litre

3B Modified Over 2 Litre

Racing - Racing Cars (any car with slick tyres)

Ladies - All Ladies

Juniors - Between 16-18 years of age

Also if you want to get your setup right for the Sprints there is a special Test & Tune day on Saturday 30th June. So you can come up on Saturday, test your car get the setup right and be ready for Sunday.

I hope to see you all there, I will be competing in the Purple and Yellow EA Falcon, number 60. Come and say hello if you are about.

Cheers

Adam

These days are awesome fun, and well organised! Timing is via RF transponders which work well. The day just flows nicely from the open practice session to the timed sprints. Recommended if anyone wants to sneak in some practice at Winton for the next SAU championship round.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
