What I would like to get from you all is if there is a minimum of 20 Skyline’s here that may be interested in participating in this event. It would be great if we could get 10 from NSW and 10 from the ACT.

In line with the mandatory rules of WSID, some of the other rules we have been thinking of are:

1. This event is restricted to Supra's and Skyline's only, sorry no exceptions!!

2. All cars must be street registered.

3. All cars are limited to no more than semi-slick tyres.

If there is a car that does not comply with any of the above additional rules but intends on joining us for the day then this car will be excluded from all prizes.

Cheers

Ross

I own a Stagea, which is basically a Skyline chassis with a wagon shell. Would this rule me (and other Stagea owners) out?

At this stage I'm going to have keep it to Skyline's and Supra's only, but I will be reassing this in about two weeks if I can't achieve the 40 car limit. I have a lot of interest with Toyota owners that have dropped in a 2JZ GTE into their car's and I'm thinking of maybe opening it up to hybrids.

I'll have a definite answer in a round two weeks.

Thank you to everyone that have shown some interest to date. This Skyline group could consist of NSW owners at this stage as a lot of the ACT Skyline owners are umming and urring along with the NSW Supra owners.......

Cheers

hahahahaha yeah the NSW supra club owners are a bunch of pussies they love their supras and covet them like they are the best car on the road but they are too scared to take them on the track and give them a real hit.... (except for the odd few that havethe guts) i have been to several supra NSW club cruises when one of my mates owned a supra and i was the only skyline along for the ride of course i was generally waiting for them up the road a bit cuz they dont like to give it a squirt lolz....... anyways thats my little rant done and its a bit off topic i might say....... SORRY *SHRUGS* im very interested but not 100% just yet as i need to get the car tuned before any hard running

I really need to see if we can achieve the numbers first before I lock in a date. I need 20 skylines and 20 Supra's at this stage and from what I can see we're around 10 down on each model if I try to keep it to ACT & NSW owners.

I will have a definite answer for everyone in around 2 weeks, say the 2nd week in September.

hahahaha wont be a matter of look who's talking champ..... i got defected last sunday and have to get everything in my engine bay engineered so there goes all the money i have saved up to buy my aftermarket ecu....... otherwise i would have said straight up that i was in like flynn and be showing a few supra club owners what my baby is made of lolz may not keep up with some of the more modified TT 2JZGTE models but like i said the majority of the ppl i have met on there dont like giving their 3 litre babies a good squirt hehehe....... but im more than happy to have my ass handed to me by a supra i got nothin to prove just wana have some fun but to do that i need the car to be running right and not dogging out when i put the boot into it lolz... as i said i will know more closer to the date and will post up whether i will be in attendance but confirmation of a date would be very helpful so i will know if im actually available or not hahaha

I think opening it up to hybrids would be really good. It could it be a 'RB v JZ' event instead of 'Skyline v Supra' to achieve the numbers needed. There are heaps of hybrids out there.

Since when is a street cruise a race? If you came out on most of the SAU cruises you'd see that people generally dont give their skylines "a real hit" during a skyline cruise either!! It's that sort of behaviour that gets car clubs cruises blacklisted by the cops..

Agreed though if Supra NSW dont get any/many local entrants then that's a pretty poor effort!

There's a lot of talk re: the NSW Supra owner's and how there is a lack of interest. Don't forget that the ACT Skyline owners are also showing very little interest in this event as well.

If someone says that there aren't many Skyline's in the ACT then how many Supra's do you think are down here?? :-p

Guys/Gals

I've decided to postpone this event until next year. I'm well over my head and luckily I have had some members offer to assist me with this event but there is too much involved to have something like this go ahead this year.

A new thread with an expected or firmer date will be posted sometime in the near future.

Thanks to everyone that provided input, it has been very useful and are being considered for when this event takes off next year.

Thanks again

Ross

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      By Chupapy · Posted

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
