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

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
