Thursday 23rd July, Oran Park Gp Circuit, That's This Thursday!


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

With Oran Park closing very very soon it is time to take advantage of the track while it is still there.

They run open practice days on all the 3 layouts of the track, this Thursday (23-07-09) is going be a GP layout.

What you need.

CAMS level 2 Speed licence. You can join Skylines Australia NSW and buy a licence which will last you approximately $150 total. This last for a whole year and gives you access to these days at both Oran Park and Eastern Creek and Wakefield.

A working car, with no oil leaks and loose parts etc.

A Helmet and long cotton clothing.

Fuel, some lubes and your toolbox. Food is not available at the track, so bring some or take a trip into Narrellen.

Camera (There will be some pretty cool race cars out at the track.)

Probably something else I forgot.

For More info contact Oran Park. www.oranpark.com.au

See you there,

Dan.

Ryan, I won't know till probably the start of each month, but I'll try to let everybody know ASAP.

Thanks mate, if you get a chance this week shoot me through some pics :)

I still have not heard back from BBM?

I just called and he said "Dan who?"

LOL not really mate all good thanks for that waiting for stock 2-4 weeks away.

Comon people this is a super track and will be one of the last times you can drive OP GP. I wish i was going to be there. :-(

Lol, I'm looking for pictures later tonight hopefully... see how busy I get between now and then, followed by how buggered I am as a result.

I'm going either way... OP GP Rocks out!

Mate these day's are the best kept secret... I could have lapped continuously from 9:30am to 4:30pm if the car could have handled it, only once was there the maximum of 4 cars out there. Mostly there was only 2 cars on track.

Spewin Ports... you missed a good day... probably only 8 cars there... HEAPS of track time... I was buggered by 1:30.

Not happy, took the dude 20 minutes to fix under warranty, but had to wait till he arrived :P .........8 cars all day aaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!! :blush:

I'm gonna start a "Late Notice Track day" thread and see if we can generate some interest around town and for the next ones. I'll post a link in here when I get it going...

Man I had some fun... Slick tyres are very awesome fun. :P

Controlling 700rwkw... Stuuuuupidly fun... and breaking for turn 1 into turn 2 at around 255km/h SCARY! :blush:

    • 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?
    • 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).
    • 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).
    • 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.
