Can someone enlighten me on in-field camera spots if there are any? Does Oran have flag huts like Wakefield does?

No infield positions. Photographers normally sit on the fence line down the bottom of the track, getting shots of cars coming thru the Esses. Also a good point is the flag point over the flip flop, you get cars coming out of Suttons then over the Flip flop.... seen some epic shots there!!

Other place is in the grand stand snapping people oversteering, playing chicken with the wall, coming onto the straight (Turn 12) ;)

PS. Failvia wont be entered. My fire sale of parts hasnt cleared my debt and left me short for rego, thus the nugget wont be lapping! ;)

BUT i will be there with bells on to help out!

good to hear, see you there moo guy and demon.

watch out....I drive on white lines....no point wasting track....

well done getting the car running again so quickly though ;)

Driving to the edge is just leving me room up the inside and besides, this is how to use the most track and make a skypower as wide as possible!!!

I still have some tread depth left on the very 2nd hand jobs out of my tyre pile after last weekends Street Sprints. YAYYYY!!! first time to OP but hope to pick it up pretty quick, the vid helped get an Idea and John said he will show me round following the Z, just need a rocket booster to keep up!

Ahhh, more entrants - excellent!

I can't edit the first post, but I will post up a list of current entrants who've paid (according to the SAU bank account records as at midnight tonight) later on...

I'm crying as the deadline for this looms closer and my car keeps breaking more and more parts... :P

I hear you, sounds asif my turbo is on the way out.... so i'm holding off paying for aslong as possible to see if its just my imagination or if the turbo really is about to go BOOM!!!!!

Those who have paid in the past 24hrs or so whose names do not appear above, don't panic - it can take up to 3 business days for your transfer details to appear in the account summary.

Tom, most often a whistling noise near the turbo is a blown gasket - turbo to dump, manifold to turbo or head to manifold. normally comes with free broken studs to remove! get someone to do it for you unless you hate your knuckles

^ what he said. I had the same with my stock R33 turbo, i freaked out thought it was the turbo, was just a gasket kit that needed to be replaced, so my mechanic replaced them all anyway. Then good as new! I do remember my mechanic telling me it was a freaking pain in the ass to do too!

yeah i could imagine it would be a shithouse job to do...... as far as i know those bolts are the ones that snap like glass when you try and undo them after 12 years of heat abuse..... I snapped one when i tried to change the front pipe.... got stuck in the turbo side..... couldn't get it myself. paid a guy to do it and he went through $80 worth of drill bits to get the bugger out....

If its just a leak (very slight at the moment) i might leave it and come on sunday now ...... just gotya see how work is going to be and then i'll pay

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
