Howdy all...

Saturday 28th March 2009.

Now those of you in this scene who have been around for a while, will know that booking Eastern Creek is hard yards… getting a weekend date some say is “impossible” but we have been fortunate to infact secure a date for Autosports for March 2009.

We do infact have two other weekend dates for 2009 although I am not able to confirm the additional dates till after the New Year.

•The day is going to be run with official timing

•The day will have 6 driver trainers (including John Boston)

•Cost is $275 per driver

•There is strictly 70 positions with no exceptions

•14 cars per group max

•5 groups running 15 minute sessions

Gates open at 7.00am

We will have allocated pit garages for every position at no extra charge.

All drivers are to be ready for the on-track briefing which starts at 8.00am sharp. This will include your group infact driving onto the track with an instructor to infact stop and get out of the car and look at the various conditions for each corner… you will have the instructor explaining the best approach to apex’s and braking markers.

At 9.00am sharp the experienced drivers group will start their first session.

At 9.00am sharp the newbie groups will go into the upstairs rooms and receive further instruction about the track and how to get the most out of it as safe as possible.

By 9.20am the newbie’s driver training sessions upstairs will have finished and the second group will be out on the track.

We will run the group sessions all day and will not be stopping for lunch.

•Payment needs to be made within 14 days of booking or the position will be listed as available to others (we have to pay for the entire event upfront)

Now i know that March next year sounds like a long way away... considering that we have Christmas coming up, then the New Year break most people will not be back to work till Feb 09. I also will be out of the country from December 28th 2008 till January 31st 2009. I have to pay for this event upfront to suffice the desires of Eastern Creek management. I want to have this all arranged, booked and paid for so i am not going to be worrying about it come February next year.

Couple of other points;

1.Once positions are booked as stated above, I require payment in full within 21 days. If payment is not made the confirmed and reserved position will be cleared and offered publicly.

2.Should someone for any reason whatsoever not be able to attend after making payment, the position can be transferred but only after officially informing me personally so i can make sure the payment records are in absolute order.

3.Passengers are not permitted under any circumstances

4.Driver trainers are available to all patrons at no additional charge

5.Official timing is provided at no extra charge. Times will be recorded and posted up online before the end of the day

6.Spectators are permitted at no extra charge. No children under the age of 16 are permitted in the pit area without adult supervision.

7.All drivers must bring there own helmet and be wearing suitable closed in footwear as well as long sleeve shirts and pants.

I am absolutely stoked to be able to confirm this date... I want to make sure that the organisational aspects are first class so that i can secure more events for us at Eastern Creek.

Marty will probably ask me anyway as I am involved in the day.

The Radical should be allowed but not your car Michele, sorry.

Your car Michele is an open wheeler and is not allowed on the circuit with sedan cars. The Radical has all 4 wheels inside the body work :)

This is 90% certain but will confirm with the person who is putting there insurance up for the day.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      By f00stx · Posted

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
