Put me down for Brabham then (although I'm down if you guys choose Jones too).

So what say the rest of you? Willing to shed out the extra $$ for the premium seats? :)

trust me, it's worth it.

I'm just bringing me. Went with a couple of mates last time but they are both too cheap to come this time. Ones a uni student, ones and apprentice mechanic.

I'm keen to share an appartment with someone who doesn't snore, doesn't fart, and doesn't mind if I do either. hmmmm, looks like I may need a single room......

(seriously though, I'm happy to share)

Guys if you own your own business it is possible to do the Melbourne Grand prix trip tax deductible. Sponsor a race car for a few hundred dollars and then go to see your sponsorship dollars and company signage. A few mates and I do it each year.

Best accomodation with secure parking is at Southbank appartments only a few mins by tram from everywhere including track.

Best way to get there Grand Prix rally www.grandprix.com.au (follow cars thread to rally site) and watch Peter Moore and his R34 N1 win it gain.

btw, two more in for this trip :( Happy to share accom to keep the price down unless its with fatz. And will be driving down :)

And I reakon Dominic's right, we better get down there a day or two early to watch the end of the rally :)

Duncan,

I'm keen to share. Seriously though, FLY. It's like $90 each way, which works out cheaper than driving. I also wouldn't mind going down a day or two early.

If we stay somwhere close to the track we won't really need a car anyway. Drving to the track sucks. Drving at night in order to go out sucks too. It's far better to just tram it, or share taxi's.

hrmmm...

Brabham stand before Oct 31st... that is $579 (x2 as I'll get shot if I don't take the GF) which is $1158.

Do we need to book accom and pay for it before the 31st too???

When are you planning on booking silver?

Cheers,

Dan.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
