IN! :santa:

You guys are legends!! Lakeside is the perfect track to be flogging aound in a Skyline. Tell your mates, we need all the help the SAU can provide. Clubs from other Nissan models have also been really supportive and see benefits of claiming their northside track back.

QLD SAUers are a bunch of carpark cruisers.

all the photoshoot, coffee meet ups, dyno day events/threads gets loads of attendance/response/views, but to save a historic race track gets next to nothing.

it's the same group time and time again attending the QR time attack events, skidpans, street sprints, and what not.

where have all the 300rwkw, hks hypermax, gt wing, light weight volk racers gone?

i'll make my best attempts to be there work pending!

I will be there!!!

No need to point fingers Eug, you don't get to all the events either, but I understand the sentiment.

true, not saying everyone should attend every event.

any sort of reasonably half arsed effort from each member should get the ball rolling for the club in terms of moving on to bigger and better things.

just trying to gee these ricers up, that's all :santa:

they probably won't even bother clicking this thread to read it anyway.

I understand your frustrations, there's always a lot of apathy in all motorsport groups and that's one of the reasons we're so easily defeated by small groups of politically correct nut jobs imposing their lifestyle preferences on others. You'll never get everyone, but we have to get all the hardcore guys to attend.

However, one way to get people to get off the couch is to show them the benefits to them of taking action.

50% of the conversations on forums is people complaining about something and on car club forums, its usually about getting fined for speeding, defect notices or general police harrassment.

A dedicated facility such as a race track provides instant protection for enthusiasts from all these problems plus actually making the activities safer for themselves, the public and even their cars! NO gum trees to hit on the side of a race track.

If Lakeside was to get re-opened, maybe it could become a safe, harrassment-free location for all the "carpark cruisers" to meet!

Finally I think your point about most peopl not even reading the post is correct, just look at the thread numbers. So, you could engage in conversation with people you know in other forums and talk to them directly about Lakeside or give out some links to the thread. Just a thought.

just trying to gee these ricers up, that's all :(

officially Geed up :)

no ricer here but

shall be there

PS. (flame suit on) so we'll expect to see ya at a coffee meet then aye. lol :action-smiley-069: (flame suit off)

man i can't wait till the new race centre opens near yatala going to be so good.....

I'll be at this meet to save lakeside aswell need as many places as possible

Really good to hear you're coming cause the RX-7 boys reckon their going to have the biggest turnout.

Lakeside rocks compared to that boring arse QR. A far more technical track with the most wicked entry on to the main straight and a great selection of corners including some neg camber stuff.

The only thing it has in common with QR is the little series of unsettling bumps at the end of the main straight.

Like you Eug I struggle to understand what motivates the 5 kay back and shuffle crowd. (They drive 5 kays, back up and shuffle around) but in the end its their ride and they can do what they want with it. Why you would need big ponys for that tho is beyond me unless, heaven forbid....They are street racing. :laughing-smiley-014: Nah, Liners wouldnt do that. :P

just trying to gee these ricers up, that's all :)

lol ricers.. u old folk are funny..

if i wanted to be a ricer i would have gotten chrome rims like noel. :P ahaha what now old man.

im more than happy to show my colours for an event like this perhaps i might use this track. but its a fair way away. but still im here to support. ive heard good thingsa about this have signed a petition aswell cya then :D

agree with technicality of the track. i've never raced it, but i like the fact that it's a high speed track, and like you said with the off camber corners and varied elevation. definitely looks like it requires a bit more driver input and concentration than QR = fun!

personally think that QR is a fairly HP dependent track, where time is easily made by making more power.

i have 300rwkw... i'm cool yeah?*

i might use this track. but its a fair way away. but still im here to support.

sweet!

QR is the only track around. darlington park has been shut down, and the next one is morgan park (in warwick!)

*may or may not be true... most likely the later.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
