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

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
