I'm making the trip down from Brisbane again for this year's Speed Weekend. Its always the first weekend of December. It will the Mountain Straight Hillclimb on Sunday, which is just awesome! Far better than the Esses Hillclimb. I ran in 2003 in my 2000cc IPRA Datsun 1200 coupe, 2005 in my R32 GTR where I managed to get 3rd outright on the Mountain Straight Hillclimb, and this year will be in my CA18DET Datsun 1200 coupe - IPRA spec minus the turbo restictor... with 230rwkw's and somewhere around 950kg's it should be interesting to see how it goes against some GTR's!

I look forward to seing the old 1200 going again ( Should be gunning for outright depending on what sports sedans enter) I also cant wait to see how the GTR goes in comparison. This would have to be my favorite event for the year all I need is around another 100 odd kw at the treads to try and keep up LOL.

welcome aboard Andy!

btw do you reckon this 4.375 diff be OK for the Supersprint, or should I be looking at getting that other 4.1 in the car? I picked up a front spoiler a couple of weeks ago too - should help front end grip a little into the chase...

Thanks mate.

The 4.3 should be fine will be pulling close to 7500in 5th. I run with the 4.6 in it a few years back and had to raise rev limit to 8000 was hitting 7800 just before the kink and again just before the chase was making less power but still pulling close to 230km/h. I cant remember 100 % if I ever run with the 4.11 at supersprint. I had run at oran park, wakefield and local drags. The day I raced against your GTR and lunched the clutch I was using the 4.375

I cant remember what we set the rev limit to with the new engine I think from memory around 8000 I can change it on the day if you like.lll Bring the laptop along.Just remember to bring the cable.

Cheers Andrew

whats the cost for such an event at bathurst?

So if your not a member of a car club with cams, you cant enter just for the day/event?

its $60 to join nsw sau and i think not 100% sure its like $150 for cams then $100+ plus for the racing..

I had a freakin awesome time again!!!

Unfort had some bad luck with my wheels - stripped a nut and couldnt get the semi's on so was on my dodgy street tyres all weekend.

the sprint - first run I equaled my PB from last year, and my 3rd run got a 55!!

the hillclimb was just....amazing! my first run I was sooo scared. I dont think Ive been that scared behind the wheel for awhile!!

still, last run cracked the sub 60's!!

got a 59.65!

Great weekend, and can't wait for next years WITH semi's!!!!!! :(

that mountain straight hillclimb sure is an adrenaline rush. I remember in 2005 trying to pick what line I'd run through those fast blind corners over the top in the rearview mirror while being marshalled down the hill to the start line... hehe then its a leap of faith on the way back up!

well done on the PB Chris - you smashed last years time!

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
