That's right boys and girls, finally we've managed to get the time to organise our first track day. It will be a grip day and we will be holding it on the 12th of April, which is a Monday so start booking that time off!

The total cost for the day will be $200 PLUS an extra $25 if you don't have a CAMS license because you WILL need one. Application is available on the day so there's no worries there, just make sure you have the green stuff in hand :( Spots are first for SAUSA members, then the rest to the general public so join up if you aren't one, it's only $45. Deposits will be needed as we need to secure the track, this will be half of the full amount (so $100) and will need to be payable by March 1st. The remainder must come in the following weeks. This is a first come first serve event so those who put the cash in are the ones that come. You stuff around, you may lose the spot. There's a total of 22 spots for this event and promises to be an AWESOME day.

Thanks for the clarification there Damo :banana:

Adrian, no worries buddy, so long as people communicate with me, we can sort out and work around things if money is short. I understand life comes and knocks you on your ass with bills. If you have a problem, get in touch, we will sort it out :P

lol, writeoff I hope youve got working 12v feed to your cig lighter - mine doesnt exist anymore (re- lap timer)

well, car is ready for roll cage - but thats in japan, just getting to a container now

just need to rebleed brake fluid, zip tie cables throughout the inside, then get to the tuners

next time out it'll be kitted inside properly

Yay! GTR is fresh off the rollers, and I am much more impressed with the result this time around!

333.2kw, and 555nm torque at 6000rpm. Much more pull in the mid range than ever before!

I just need to bleed brakes, and fit my new tyres and I'm ready!

Adrian's car on the other hand.... is still sitting on jack stands in my Garage.... :thumbsup:

Damn, beaten to it :yes:

What happend to the $1.50 cage?!

thats been cut up, and will be using a few bits from it.

whats leftover can go to the metak-man for a $ back :)

also got myself a 1.3m breaker bar out of it!!! wooot

Just heard from the GSR EVO Club Committee Re; Timers.

They want a $500 deposit on top of the hiring cost which i will cover (I think next time the SAU:SA club can cover the finances and i'll just organise it, if they want to offer them), They also want a form signed accepting liability for any damage. I will get 13 copies of the form that i will sign and everyone that used a timer will have to sign it so if any damaged is caused to the timers the user will be up for the replacement cost.

Is there anyone that can help out with moving the track car around next week? ie: anyone with mates in the towing biz, or have access to a car trailer?

Adrian and I need to organise a tune at Turbo Tune at Edwardstown, and a wheel alignment at Port Adelaide, and obviously the car cannot be driven on the street. We aren't sure which days will we need transport yet, as we don't know when the car will be ready to roll out of BITSUS Customs, and how long it will be at the tuner's for.

any ideas/suggestions welcome.

cheers.

Nigel.

What car is it out of interest?

Also who is doing the tuning at TT?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
