What style of numbering do we need? the big ones on the side or like what we had at super lap? Where did you get your big ones for the side from? and how much?

You should see me front bar now she is a bute, very fast looking. The wiring is all finished and she purrs like a kitten again. Watch out. lol

Nice one!

Ryan - Ive got my numbers already from the sprint series I do with another club!

But if you goto a motorcross shop or bike shop, thats what Nick - Intune did last year and got the numbers for the side!

Oh, guys, for those who have entered, let me know, I'll update the first post with your race numbers etc

Hi guys,

i'm interesting in this event. ..... not sure are there any spot left or not (i'll call tomorrow).

i have some question about this event as i don't know much about regulation here (coz i come from oversea)

is r33 gtst really in SV type? .... or could it be in type 1? coz i just have light modify.

another question, is the hillclimb difficult for noob? coz this will be my second track day ...... wanna go home in one piece :O

G'day mate!

Well, there has been a bit of discussion on the classes etc - as our skylines werent (r33) werent locally produced.

I have entered in SVD as so have the other guys here - I dont know why Steve hasnt as I wasnt sure about his supra.

When you call them to see if there are spots left, have a discussion with them about the groups, but worst case just enter SVD and may be able to change on the day?

The hillclimb - Im hoping you have seen the bathurst 1000?

if you see mountain straight - the climb up the hill....there is basically walls everywhere with little to no room for error!

I personally wouldnt do it for my 2nd driving event, even last year when I did it on street tyres, I got a bit taily and my heart went crazy...haha

if you do it at your own pace and know your limits, go for it!

there are still spots left for the weekend

and sugus come a long you just need to take both days at your own pace you are only raceing your self at the end of the day.

just take it easy and find your limets with the car forget about the concret walls as if you are looking at tham you will find one of them

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
