I assumed that the day would begin at 5pm (followed the link in this thread, it said 5pm then realized that was for drift)

The Mallala website is useless.

This only information I could find was this flyer:

http://www.mallala.com/startyourengines/PTD%20Brochure.pdf

Which must be about something else as it is $495 per day, but says that the session starts at 8:30am.

So i guess I will call them tomorrow to get all the details, does it start at 8:30 or 5? and why isn't that information readily available on their website?

you'd think you could click on the event you were interested in on the website and it would give you details, or at least that the details would be SOMEWHERE on the site.

Jeez it's late.

Hi All,

Just called mallala, spoke to Pete, asked for some info, he said the session tomorrow starts at 8:30 but he was not sure about cost. I asked him if the prices on the website for 2008 were unchanged (i.e. $100 + $25 for the CAMS license for the day) He said that was probably what it would be.

We both agreed the website was useless.

Clem is the guy with all the info but he won't be there until lunch time, but tomorrow definitely starts at 8:30 am and the cost will be approximately $125.

Will post more info if I end up speaking to Clem later on.

Hope to see some other skylines out there, I'd hate to be representing on my own :P

Since it's an 8:30 start how about BP west Tce at 7:15, head out at 7:30. It takes roughly an hour to get there. If anyone is keen to meet up PM me and we'll exchange details.

The Caltex on Port Wakefield road, Bolivar is a good place to meet, last stop to fill up and get food, etc.

Please don't put Caltex in your car, go across the road to BP. My R32GTR with caltex fuel and 4000rpm = knocking at 82. BP fuel and 7000rpm = knocking at 20.

Hey all,

I was out there today (someone had to represent). Was pleasantly surprised to find a few of our brethren there. RBWARE was there and so was BANNED, Plus another R32 GTR (silver one, forgot the dude's name). There was also one other 33 on the track besides me, Charcoal one with black wheels.

Was good fun, Stock brakes did alright, after 15 mins of hard use they gave up though but there were one hour intervals between runs so they had plenty of time to cool off between runs. They were fine again at the beginning of the next round.

I was sorely dissapoitned in my cheap ass tires. Pirelli's or Toyo's next time.

There was a good mixture of cars, some old school (Datsun 1600 running an FJ turbo, Old escort, old corolla, datsun 240z) some newer (our skylines, evo 7, evo 9) some brand spankers (350z, focus turbo, civic type r, evo 10). There was one R34 GTR track car but that didn't go on at the same time.

My exhaust looked brand new after that's how clean it was, apparently my car was shooting flames occasionally.

Some photos:

My exhaust is sooooooo clean!!

Cooling off....

Sadly this thing didn't get out there

If you haven't been before I HIGHLY recommend it, brilliant fun and you don't have to worry about breaking anything, you don't have to go all out, my third run I took it easier but still had a good time. The safety rules make it hard to have an accident and even if you come off the track, you're only in the sand, no damage done. I'd liek to see more of us there next time.

Total cost was $125 for the track and a 1 day CAMS license, plus $50 bucks for a full tank of BP ultimate, I had a quarter of a tank left at the end of the day and I only did 4 out of the 6 rounds.

Good clean fun!

    • 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?
