Im about a 80% chance of starting, will have to see how tyres and brakes stand up at Eastern Creek at the Motoconcepts day earlier in the month.

Will be good fun punting around with a bunch of GTI-Rs. My best is 1:13.4 so looks like i might be handing out drinks as the Pulsars overtake me.

Oh and wrxkilla, does your car have white Enkei wheels, i suspect you may now be driving a friends old car.

That is a nice car michael. saw it for the first time the other night when we were out 'cruisin' the highway. GTR's are my first love but If I had the chance I would take an Evo. paticularly the EVO IV. its my fav :)

are you the guy with the crazy sounding M spec that had a race with Avenge white R33 GTR?????

But yeah thanks.

Hope to see more of you guys at the Track.

I'll check with the organiser for when he wants the cut-off date for.

But spots are filling. I think we have filled 25 spots of of a self imposed 35 limit.

:)

Thought you had all the good gear with ur brakes Roy ?

The brakes are good lap after lap and really only improve consistancy over the day, not outright lap times.

Hey im happy with those lap times... stock boost with cat back exhaust. Nothing really special in the tyres either

Plus the tool behind the wheel makes all the difference and 1:13s is all i can muster.

Im hopoing in the near future to be giving 1:10s a scare:D

oh and Kris wasnt the guy im thinking off, perhaps i know the owner before Kris???? Would it be you i see driving down the cumberland highway from time to time?

I'm also in Dire need of brakes, getting some new pads & rotors before the track...

Hey Guys,

IMFLYN - PM sent

FRANKS - 1220 (I think that's Dakar spec though) as quoted by Nissan but with air-con and stuff call it 1280

Roy - I think you'll find 1:13 will be more than a match for most of out crew (many first timers), possibly me included :)

Craved - We have about 10 places left

Duncan (can't wait to whip some of those little gtirs ) - we'll see... :)

MR R32 MSPEC - end of the comming week, but the sooner you pay the better as when 35 people have paid, that's it ;)

Good to see some more interest, if you need any more info let me know. It will be a great day and a chance (according to Duncan anyway) to show some crappy little pulsars a thing or two...

Guys,

I have just received some news on the track day. Unfortunately the guy at Wakefield failed to mention that we need a $800 track permit, on top of the $1750 hire and we want an ambulance which is $440. This makes the cost of the day now $85.50 per car ($2990/35 cars). There is no profit margin in this day, it is purely being organised for our members (and you guys) benefit. I hope that you guys will still want to come as it's still a LOT cheaper than the $200 odd which seems to be the norm to attend a private day.

Still sounds alright, which I think everybody will be dissapointed about the price. but I am still in. didn't waste any money going to the creek wednesday night so I will come down. My GF said she is coming to watch me (hassle me about being safe ;) )

well thats pretty much what I paid last time plus $30 for the license. Is it only 35 cars for the whole day richard? what time would we be leaving sydney to down there, we left really early last time something like5:30am to get there with time to get ready to get on the track

Yep, that's 35 cars on the track. full stop. Some people are considering (me included) going down after work monday, staying the night (maybe the loaded dog?) to ensure that we are the early and not buggered from a three hour drive.

Also there is some debate at the moment about whether or not to drop the ambo, as this would reduce the cost by $13. Personally I would rather pay the extra peanuts to know that if my tyre explodes whilst going down the straight, and I hit the wall, there will be ambos working on me within seconds, not 5-20 minutes later. As I said to the GTI-R guys, despite people being carefull the whole point of a trackday is to explore the limits of your car (and ability) and you may exceed them (either one) in which case you will want the best care $13 can buy ;)

I would have to make the trip to meet you guys down there. My GF would not be allowed to stay overnight and I don't finish till 5pm on monday, get home at 6pm.

I will probably head down in the morning unless my gf's mum has a miraculous turnaround and lets her stay in the same room overnight somewhere with me, but it will never happen! ;)

so if anyone plans to drive down on the morning. post up so we can meet and go together

A friend of mine will be going down in the morning. I'll tee things up with you guys when we get closer to the date.

Get your girl to tell her parents she is staying at a friends place (or similar flimsy lie) then go anyway, you may find the night at the Loaded Dog more fun than the track day though ;)

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
