For those that don't read the motorsport section of the forums there is a track weekend on down at Phillip Island on October 20-21st being held by PIARC

Entry Forms and Sup Req's are here: Click Here

Saturday is free practise (non timed unless you bring your own) and free driver training is available if requested.

Sunday is a full sprints day.

There are a few guys coming from interstate for this event as well including John from Unique Autosports with his Zed.

A few people are doing both days so consequently Brisby is organising some accommodation for the weekend. If anyone is keen to come down and stay and have a beer or 2 please post up here.

Cheers

I will be there as I've had the nod from a certain workshop that all will be tiggedy boo with some "unscheduled" maintenance that was required after Winton.

I will be there both days.

Will be good.

Good to hear Andrew, no doubt I will get THE CALL anyday now....

Be good to see about 10 cars doing sub 1:50's on the day...

Can't wait...

I should be there Saturday, can't be there on the Sunday, not happy.

I wonder if i can get that sub 50 before BB on the Saturday.... come-onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

I'll be driving like an 18 yo on L plates for a while until I get used to the car. You are in with a shot, but not for long. That and the fact my tyres are nearly unroadworthy. :worship:

Ahhh I hear excuses!!!! hahah

Good news for me then :D It will take you less time to get used to it than you realise... you'll probably run a 49 in the morning... then it will take you all weekend to run a 47 :P

  • 2 weeks later...

i would love to come along, i havent been out on the island before. damn shame that my car is in the panel shop at the moment!

i might try to convince a mate to come down to watch on one of the days.

maybee one of you could take me for a ride around the track! :)

So is your car ready for this weekend BB?

I haven't heard yet, but have been too busy to ask.

I've annoyed Ben a fair bit lately asking about various changes, so one more "are we there yet" and it will probably come back in pieces, or worse making 140 KW.

Fingers crossed, accomm booked and leave pass organised.... :D

So, i need new rear rotors and fuel tank before the weekend. Tryign to find some rear brembo calipers so i can run better rear rotors...so if anyone knows of any for sale! Im hoping to make it but may be easier to just park it. Engine was knockign a little on the weekend as well...lol little wonder with the boost gauge saying 1.6bar at the top of 4th gear (Ben ha spreviously told me that the gauge reads higher then what his pressure sensor on the dyno reads, so probably more like 1.3-1.4bar:)

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
