I was all set to enter Bathurst but NSW State Supersprints start on the 17th January at Oran Park G/P so I'll be flat out getting all the changes done that I need to do.

What you guys really need to do is register for the NSW hillclimbs and do Bathursts 2 day state champs. Sundays mountain straight climb is without a doubt the best and fastest climb ever.

can we get some dates for some of these upcoming events.....Bathurst hillclimb would be brilliant.

have to get this cams 2s liscence sorted....

I've just committed to Bathurst next month, hope to meet at least some of you there face to face!

Mate!!!! off topic!

what i really wanted to know was....

What was it like having a steer of mark berry's r34!?!?!?!?!

I would love to drive that machine!!

No you can't have dates yet mate,,,sorry but your way to early. Bathurst hillclimbs are usually Feb or March.

The License is easy,,,just go to the cams site and upload it,,,you are already a member of our club,,,so half the work is done.

Log booking your car would be a great idea as well.

Farking insane is all I can say, so so so good, really drives like a big horsepower kart, so easy to drive.

Second that!

Mick, have you finished the rebuild yet?

I met you back in 08 @QR in my 34 gtr.

think you will back for Nov 24th?

I have been enjoying a r32 Gtr and Evo of late.

Hopefully we can have a run together soon.

Cheers

and where is willo? Kept thinking you guys would be up there..

Hey mate,

Yeah i've been looking at the pics and results from the days. missing it. Look like your going awesome in the evo!

i'm getting married 14th nov and car is getting closer to ready. I doubt I will make it in time to be honest. If I can, I will be there will bells on though.

I think Willo is a bigger chance of getting back for that day???

+10 bonus points for marlin getting a drive of the machine!!!!

Hope the wedding goes well mate.

The Evo is a brilliant car, very std at the moment. But none the less very capable.

The GTR is a handful, but brilliantly fun. We ran low boost and even lower boost due to

a small crack in an intercooler pipe and still did a 58.2 on sprint first time out in it.

We will be running high boost on the 24th so hope for some significantly better times again.

Hope to see you up there soon mate.

Im happy to give you guys some of the Vic events, but we are in the same boat as QLD.

Our motorsport doesnt really start up again until the start of Feb, and we dont tend to get any dates till mid December.

A word of warning.... if you come to Vic in Feb - chances are its going to be very hot. Might be better to make it slightly later (ie March/April) and hope for some cooler weather. The SAU drivers usually attend the PI track day run by the WRX Club (usually March) as its part of our motorsport championship.

If you want help with Vic events, just keep reminding me as it nears the end of the year :banana:

in the process of logbooking car as we speak, having it inspected on saturday.

im not fussy on where we go as long as everyone is happy. would love to do bathurst feb/march.

Stumbled across Skyline Nationals 2010 Thread, Shown shine, cruise and track day at Mallala Adelaid. This could be cool, its later in the year though, Sep 10. Posted in National Events Section.......any thoughts.

    • Try looking at Eibacb/H&R springs Thats what Gary sourced for mine.
    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
