i dont have an oil cooler, but i have an oil temp gauge that i always keep an eye on. once oil starts getting up near 110, i start warming down. if it looks to be too hot i wont be driving, but ill come out for a look regardless :glare:

Id come, but im pretty sure my car wouldnt last too long. All things considered, i have no monitoring systems (bar stock items), and i have no doubt id blow my turbo at the very least. But id definately come out for a look.

thought i'd give this thread a bump as i now have my new gearbox and clutch in so i want to head out, really should get brakes and oil cooler first but i figure they can wait til the next one.

I'll be there as long as i can get ahold of my mates car trailer and its not over about 32-33 degrees.

Salad - Will you be heading out? Maybe change the thread title to get a bit more interst, hehe!

I'll be heading out as long as the temp is below 32 that day.

I really should double check my brake pads before the day too LOL. Apart from that, clutch tyres everything ready to go but the brakes. can't wait!!

Nah, I wont be out at this one, so it makes me really not keen to try organise it now. BUT, I will do if there is more interest.

But I can just see this being organised and it turning out to be a really hot day and most people pulling out, which was fine for me before when I was driving, but to head out there to spectate and have about 4 people show up is a bit different...

nooooooooooooooooooooo Jan 12th is Schutzenfest - you should all be coming out to the SAU meet at that!

Much better than sitting out in the sun all day at flyville (there are trillions of them out there!) watching cars blow themselves up in 40 degree heat! :)

I am planning to book my flight back to Adelaide for this event to test out my r32. How hot is it in Adelaide atm guys? Is it really that hot that I should be worried about? When is the next track day after the 12th of Jan?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
