Ooo tempting.. I needed something just like this to prompt me to get my car track ready for winter :sweat:

Do you know how many cars will be allowed matt?

No idea, I'll phone up EC tomorrow and ask.

$120 for EC on a saturday, that can't be right!

The Eastern Creek website doesn't mention different prices for mid week and weekend private practice sessions. When I phone EC tomorrow I'll confirm price.

hey can i come and follow you guys!

non turbo ftw!

If you have everything that is needed, feel free! Don't worry about no having as much power as the rest of the cars, believe me a stock R33 isn't blisteringly quick around the track, especially with me hitting the speed limiter every lap :P

Just got off the phone with EC.

They said costs for Saturday private practice are:

ARDC members = $85

Non-ARDC members = $120

2% credit card surcharge

No limit on cars, sign up/pay on the day

I do admit this will probably mean it will be crowded and limit track time, but I don't care. It will be my birthday and I'm going regardless! :)

I think Taleb tyres still sell some of the parallel import Toyo R888's for cheap if you're interested.. Last time i bought them they were $170 or so for 215 R16's.. Really soft tyres but they heat up quickly and grip like buggery. Ask chubbs about Taleb if you're interested. I think he knows them fairly well.

Thanks mate, I have spoken to them before, but will need them in 18"

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
