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

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
