This wed is the last test day at Morgan till feb 2009.

I will heading out to test some roll center changes.

track is open 7am till 3pm.

Cost is about $50 1/2 day and about $70 for a full day.

Anyone tempted?

Are those timings and prices still correct? do they still do half and full days?

Cheers, Alex.

Your Aware this thread is almost a yr old????

Good luck in getting a hiring the track for a full day for the next 2 yrs!!!!!

Try http://www.morganparkraceway.com.au/ for Open days or for contact info.

Yeah I am aware of it thanks mate :happy:

I see the calender, it shows maybe 60 to 70 booked days. Now, wanna tell me how many days there is in a year?

They don't hire the track every day of the week. Best way to find out what available would be to Contact the Warwick Sporting Car Club.

Not say you won't be able just remember it being pretty full.

The website is usually the best place to start but can be unreliable at times... but only rarely.

I plan to be out this coming week with the police operation drift/track car and to do some testing on my car too before the Oakey Street Sprints next weekend and will probably be out for a play the following week as well before heading down to Oran Park for the SAU day.

To organize an SAU type day at Morgan, the best way is to contact Bill Campbell in exactly the way it says on the website. He is very particular about that. I have a friends who are friendly with Campbell's and could be a better way to approach them for a skyline only day. Could be a good opportunity to have a track school day? Just an idea.

If you can you get some frimish numbers and dates to me, I'll see what we can do.

I have just put a query in in the MP website. Might even put a EOI in a track training day up in the QLD section.

Im interested to take the 32gtr and Evo out to Morgan park.

I also have other mates in Evo's that would be interested.

let me know how you go.

Cheers

The long circuit with the planned extension should be a big improvement, less flip flop more speed. A lot of people rave about MP but bugger me you are constantly racking the steering wheel back and forwards as it is now, Lakeside is so much faster (better!), present MP is second rate by comparison.

As it is it suits old light short wheelbase cars like Escorts or modern cars with all the driver aids, particularly AWD's.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm not so much interested in organising an SAU day out there, most SAU Queenslanders are more interested in ice cream and wristing eachother off than motorsport.

In our little group of cars we have 9 guys who are nearly always up for it, so adding a couple of you guys into and we could make it a date I reckon >_<

Morgan Park website says;

"Track Open for Practice (Cars Only):

Wednesday 16th September

Wednesday 23rd September

Wednesday 30th September

*Please Note: All practice will be cancelled if weather is wet*

(Note: Car Race Meetings Competitor ONLY Practice Friday before an event, unless otherwise stated.)"

I'm going out this week for the morning session, which exp has shown to be the best because you can stay pretty much all day and tinker for an hour between runs. The guy who generally runs the practice days is a tip top bloke too. It might be $55 for the 1/2 day option now.

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