So it sounds like a few of us (Steveo/Sam/me) might make it down to Winton for a track day on Friday. I'm up for a very early departure (5AM?) to beat traffic. Like to get there and chill for a bit.

Scotsman - it there a place to crash near Winton on Thursday night or should we book into the cabins a night early?

For those of you who are new - this F'N rocks. It don't get much funner. Of course we will have to start dominating the Mexicans...

Probably best to just head to Shep on the Thu night before Winton to save the extra organisation. It's about a 45min drive to Winton in the morning. You could stay in Benalla or even Wangeratta, but it would be easier to just extend the stay @ Shep.

Benalla is 10min drive to track. This is where SAUVIC usually stays if we do a Winton track day.

Wangeratta is 25min to Winton, but the benefit of Wangeratta is it's on the Hume Hwy and on the NSW side of Winton. So this could actually suit you guys if you wanted to arrange anothe rnight somewhere.

The good thing about the Friday's @ Winton is you don't need to be there for a Driver Briefing. You can just show up when you want. Pay your $100 and go nuts. They have like 20 sessions for car, 20min bikes, 20 race cars then they rotate.

Hmm.. now thinking about it.. I might come down for the extra day..

Hey, you're going to drive there anyway and you might as well have 2 days of fun between those long drives as one. The only negative about the trip last time was spending two day on the road for only one day there. Be great if we can get several of us down early.

Steve-O, when you start doing the cabin thing can we make arrangements for one on Thrusday night then?

I would but my annual leave is kinda used up :O

And I dont think my car would be able to cop the abuse!

5 star hotels this time? :(

weak sauce!!! sif go in a hotel :mrt:

I promise you wont be on the couch this time :) *looks at steveo*

we met in a carpark 2mins from the intersection with king georges road (which you would come down to get there) and the M5 in beverly hills.

i assume its going to be the same place again??? will we fit there???

Yep same place, yep we will fit :) (its only for 30 mins anyway, there was that whole side street aswel)

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
