Thats half a tank to get there and back + usage @ track so ~1/4 left :(

also i live localy. i will be sleeping in my own bed many km away from you and your wandering hands. :)

You must have failed at highschool maths.

200 + 200 = 400 + around 50km usage max. I will be surprised if its more so should be smack on halfway because the highway drive there and back will use less than the city driving I do to get 850km ;)

by the way, whoever is in a cabbin with me has to sleep on the singles,,,, i baggs the double with my gf..... sorry no video cameras allowed unless im smashed off my face lol

foot flat track driving isnt the same as city driving :)

Where do we get 98 octane petrol near the track?????

If your Skyline is near stock it should run no problem on 95 octane. If you're really concerned about what you put in your car, put some octane booster in your car as well as 95, or get a jerry can or two and fuel up before you leave Sydney :(

I just payed for my accom. but now my friend wants to come too.. can I organise it so we share the same room even though we are paying at diff times?

Could I also just get confirmation I have payed?

Didn't know the baby diesel could carry a driver and a passenger at the same time????? oh well, learn something new every day

The diesel probably can carry a lot more than our Ricelines, and not because they have more space. Diesel super low RPM torque ftw!

Come on, people. This is an awesome event and well worth the entry fee!!! SAU-NSW is running this event at very close to break-even point - if we don't get the numbers, then EVERYONE loses out because it means we have less funds to run future events!

Provided I dont break my car at the Mt Panorama Hill climb this Sunday Iam In !

Also my brother is trying very hard at the moment to get his awesome Toyota IS200 ready for Texi.

Tim.

Is that this sunday?

Ill be watching =]

Wave to the skylines :blink:

my friend wants to know if he can be supplied a cams licence without being a member of a car club? or does he need to be a member? hes got a 180

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
