Yeah it was 4-5 in the end but that was just to cover the hire and insurance costs, nothing towards the capital purchases we were making. There is still an event per month to go this year and the Texikhana theme is not dead.

thanks to the wanks that gave us false hope..... we should kick them out of sau, there no help anyway lol

Now I don't think that's very fair Kujotk, I'm sure everyone tried hard to get the numbers together, but in times where petrol is hurting the hip pocket the most, and being in another state, needing an over night stay, the money quickly adds up before you even get onto the track... I don't even enter and it's quite easily a $300 weekend.

There are still plenty more events throughout the rest of the year, and we have some plans for more events in the future. This is more of a hickup then a major problem :P

im still shitty and will be untill i finnish a few beers of tonight....... also this had a track and a pan, i havent seen anything else like this except for the previous texi and this would have been the ultimate beginners introduction to get to know my car better...... i'll be looking forward to other events....

haha, I'm already a few beers in... hence the calmness :P

Texi is in no way dead, we were never going back to Sutton anyway due to problems that arose... We are looking for a replacement, and although it won't be exactly the same, it will be just as good :)

That's right, we've already found a tentative venue which is promising, so soon the process will begin on securing it so we can organise our next Texi. Even better, if this venue is the go, then it's going to be nice and local, so there's a minimum saving of roughly $200 per entrant because we won't have to worry about driving down, overnight accommodation, and getting back the next day.

this sounds excellent..... ive been looking online and in an old gregorys 13th edition 1995 street directory to see what i could find and once upon a time i recon amaroo park would have been nice and local, only 10min drive from my place lol

how about we ask a bunnings for use of their car park after they close on a sunday night lol,,,,,

also can we make this new event as soon as possible, and if this new place suits us, is there a rough estimate of what month this will be held?

maby its too soon to ask but im just keen to go

Yeah, it's a shame Sydney's lost soooo many race venues over the years - Amaroo Park, Castlereagh drag strip, and probably at least another 2-3 more... Oran park has been sold to developers and will be converted to a housing estate in the not-too-distant future, so do yourselves a favour and get out there and use it while it still exists!

Did you know that before Westmead Hospital was built that that site was the old venue for what became Parramatta City Raceway?

Bunnings car-park is probably a little to no chance of happening, unfortunately...

We've got no idea when this new "replacement" event will take place, considering the Texi was only cancelled today. We've got to make sure we can use the venue, then find an available date, and go from there...

thought i might mention i'm still a texi virgin...... i want to loose it asap.... i hate being a virgin..... im a skyline owner whos a texi virgin *hangs head in shame*

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • 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  
    • 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
