Aaaaaaaand here we go again.

Event: Texikhana

Date: Sunday 14th of September **This has changed since the original NSW thread was posted.**

Cost: $100 per member, $115 per non member. Cars can be double entered with 2 drivers.

You will also need a CAMS or AASA licence. AASA licences cost $50 on the day, last for a year and can be used at Wakefield. Direct deposit or Paypal/Credit Card accepted.

Venue: Sutton Road Driver Training Centre, Canberra

Format: Part 1; Sutton Road have a back track which is shaped like a racetrack but is more like the Old Pacific Hwy or National Park Road. We use cones set up as gates to keep the speeds down and things safe.

Part 2; We will be using the wet skid pan again as Sutton Road are being harsh on our use of the big dry one. We will have several different layouts on the skid pan to make it challenging. It's more difficult than it looks and great fun.

Restrictions: Street registered cars only with proper exhausts. That means no straight through pipes or screamers.

What should you bring: A roadworthy car not leaking anything, a helmet for the back track, long sleeves and pants, covered shoes, sunscreen, a hat and most importantly, a good attitude.

Plan of attack: Most people will go down the night before and stay at Eaglehawk Holiday Park. We will start a separate thread for this. There is a pub next door and everyone will go there for dinner and drinks. Next morning we get up early and get to the venue. Cars are scruitineered then we have a driver's briefing. After this we split into two groups sending one to the skid pan and one to the back track. After Group 1 gets two runs each of the back track the groups swap and repeat. Lunch then repeat the morning with a different course on the skid pan. We usually run two courses in both directions on the skid pan.

I'm a sad panda....

Surely thats not right. A car could have a full exhaust and be louder then a car with a screamer

Id like to think so, its getting pretty close. My veins are itching something wicked!!!! Iv missed so many Wakefield days that mates attended.

It prolly wouldn't be registered then though, so gate wouldn't be plumbed back. We'll see I guess :thumbsup:

You should be able to take them as long as they're not too loud

Both Miranda and I are now in and payed.

Come on Canberra, we can't let the Welshmen beat us on our own turf...

Im sorry that I cant represent this time... The 32 is still in pieces.

I would love to come though, seeing as I put down faster times than all but one NSW entrant at the last Texi (3rd overall - Damn you Reece) :banana:

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
