Yea Ryan,,, be out there some time tomorrow.

Just a little word of advice for the teams and organizers. If any of you have one of those petrol driven blowers,,,BRING it. Oran park are a lazy bunch of bastards and I'll bett Duncan's rear end the track will be filthy,,,especially the righthander before going up to the bridge(right in the braking zone).

Have fun tomorrow everyone.

Neil.

bring on the rain. it will show the men from the boys . but stay away from the inside on the straight . that wall hurts

Talking from experience are we Gregy. Is there something you haven't told me.

Steve-o sucked in mate No more rotary jokes,,,the cars sold.

Neil.

I want to know when they put a wall on the inside of Oran Park :P

I was *sure* I had tagged the wall at the day night meet the other day, but not a scratch to be seen. Having hit it a few times I can 10)% assure everyone that it doesn't hurt at all when you hit it at a very shallow angle (well the wallet maybe)

BTW good news all SAU NSW club members, we have organised access to the 2nd last Corporate room above the pits. So we can be warm and dry watching all the action tomorrow. Each member is welcome to bring 2 guests as well. Everyone else can either join the club or freeze their arses off :)

haha my rear end is pretty loose at times anyway. luckily gary helped firm it up and it handles much better now

bring your own hot choc pit bitch :P

LotusDave, are you the first entrant for the excuse book? By the look of the forecast you will still be more than able of showing the dattos the way around the track.

SAUers, just look for the banners at the pits and head up there.

Car tuned...nice 11.5afr's.

brakes bled...fresh Castrol SRF

tyres fitted...Dunlop's...mmm

loading the car in about 1/2 an hour.

and up at 4am to make the gate at 7.30am

all the best to the other entrants...see you there

Would have to be the best event i have ever attended at Oran Park. Awesome day out!!

Congrats to the organizers for putting on a great event :(

Big congrats to John Boston,Mark Berry and Adam Newton on their trophies. Top stuff! Mark and Russ should have got a trophy for bringing the 35,a trophy for awesomeness!

Adam(Adz) do you have a tuned length screamer pipe? Because that thing sounded angry :) Still cant believe that thing is a stock internal 25.

Chris (evilweevil),you were pumping hard mate.I have some good shots of you coming out of the sweeper before the dog leg.

Dave(blitzxtr) Was great to finally meet you and see that GTR in action,for 16psi it sure did hammer.

I wish i had my car out there. Maybe next time. :D

    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.  
    • Final thought for now. Obviously the reason I was in there was to check everything is OK cooling wise, pull out the radiator to flush it etc, but I have to say the factory has done a hell of a lot of thinking about air management in a way they never did back in the R chassis days. The Redsport/400rs have (from engine forward) 2 large shrouded fans - radiator (incl AT cooler) - AC condenser - Intercooler Heat Exchanger and Oil cooler. There are shrouds and foam around everything to keep it pretty well sealed, which is good in that they have it sorted from factory, and bad in that I can't make any meaningful improvements there. The second red sport pump water pump is mounted in front of the rad in the airflow, so I will see if there is somewhere else I can stash that (unlikely, it is tight in there). The horns which are also in the rad airflow will be moved somewhere else, and hey who needs 2 when 1 would work For track days, I can also remove the lights which would block some airflow. Factory has already taken the smart option of ducting all air that went through the oil cooler down and out of the engine bay. This pic is taken from below looking up, so air comes through the cooler at the top of the pic then hits the shroud and is directed down and out of the engine bay through the engine bay lower cover Which of course is good for oil temps, but doesn't help the rad as it diverts 10-20% of airflow away So, no big improvements to be made here, I'll flush the rad out and put it all back together.....    
    • It looks so incredibly busy in there! 😮 
    • Next..... That escalated quicker than an Elon and Donald break up! I'll post up a specific DIY for radiator removal on these, but all I'm saying is that if you get a workshop to change your radiator for any reason and they give you a $1000 bill for it, go and hug them and thank them for not charging all the hours it took.....what a bastard of a job. I'll make some adjustments as I put it all back for faster access in the future, but it was a nightmare.
