how many numbers do you usually get at these? dare say ill be up for it but ill comfirm bit closer to the date

brett

We had about 180 entrants in 2006, not bad for the events first year, were are hoping to crack 200 cars this year, ranging from the Prince to the current Crop of JDM goodness.

This event will not be run again till 2010, and it wont be in vic either so I hope we can make it a big one this year.

Breaking news everyone.

After months of phone calls, emails and the complete lack of return phone calls and emails, CSA President went up to Winton yesterday to get this sorted. Winton were simply not going to let us have their track because of the actions of another club which had Nissan and Datsuns in it.

Long story short, after a very long day, two people off work and 550 kays on the family truckster, we have now secured Winton Raceway for the Skyline nationals.

Not on the day we wanted though. We have the Saturday, not the Sunday, SOOOoOOOOOOOO,

Concourse or show and shine has had to be moved to the Sunday, (Yes I know it's not ideal, but the best we could do) and the sign in has been moved to Friday at the Park Lake (Now the Country Comfort) hotel between 3pm and 6pm on the Friday the 25th. Shepparton council were once again fantastic in helping us to move the day around. These guys are just awesome.

I apologise to everyone for the short notice of this. There has been nothing I could do to get a better outcome. Emails and phone calls to Winton have been going on since October last Year. We have had initial contact with Winton in May last year, and had a confirmation from them in July last year. They have handled this very badly, and if anyone could have been there yesterday, they would have seen how they simply just don't care.

Anyhoo, 6 weeks to go everyone, get your bloody entries in.

And if you want to see these cars - in the flesh, and also racing at Winton, Be there. We have also had 99 percent confirmed that there will be an extra special car there, yes even more special that Rod, Terry and Gavin's beauties. Rod and Terry had a ball last time, that they asked me if they could come again.

Only 3 spots left for Winton. I expect these to be filled within the next day or two. With all of the hype attached to this event, it is well worth attending even as a spectator. If you would like to go on the waiting list, let me know.

So can someone please tell me when the track day is? I want to bring up the GTR.

I looked on the website and it says it is on Sunday on the homepage, but on the event info page it says it is Saturday. I tried to email from their site but the email address is wrong and keeps bouncing back.

We have been having some trouble changing old information on our website and here, (No edits)

But the race day is Saturday, you can come up to watch, but unless we have a some one cancel or you have already paid, winton is now full. show and shine is on sunday, plenty of spots avalible for that

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
