Who's PRB guy in the results? Beat me in the clover track *waves fist*.. hehe

I had great day thanks sau ppl! Can't wait for next one.

Thanks Reece for taking me for a ride, your driving is so inspiring.

If I may suggest a few things, I'd like to get more runs on each course, 2 runs on a course isn't enough, it would also be nice for everyone to do the same courses so we can compete with our friends (like last texi) =). Other suggestion is making one battle track and to not make it so complicated!, the first battle track was nice but I had one go of it (double entered car) and it was gone, second track was like WTF.

Favourite track was the clover! And got a much better time for go to whoa this time thanks to boost =P, but made it so hard to control the car on the tight sections, boost kicks in too hard and car goes crazy! Stupid 12pound low boost setting, gotta lower it for next time.

If you were wondering why my car kept dropping cylinders, had a problem with rev limiter, whenever I hit it the engine flooded and stalled, and it didn't help that my tacho died.

This You? (chopped the side off :P ) Tried to get everyone where I could, out of 550 odd shots im amazed that I only got 2 of your car!

We are yet to see the pics from Ian or Craig yet so lets see what they come up with.

Oh yeh it is! Sorry I didn't see that one. Nice shot :)

I can't beleive I came 4th on course 1 track 1!!! Was my first time for one of these. Loved it.

No worries Sasso, we love to hear feedback from the drivers. After all, we're putting this event on for YOU so we strive to make it better everytime :ninja:

The reason there were two afternoon courses was because last time we did it, we had a slalom course only, but by the time the arvo came, cars had died, people had left, and some people had gone on that 8 or 9 times and were bored of it by then. Maybe the first course has anough appeal to stay all afternoon :D

I think the clover track will be back, everyone seemed to like that :)

If anyone else has any thoughts on the day and ways to improve it, PLEASE SPEAK UP! :D

+1 for Clover Leaf track, that was my favourite by far. L-O-T-S of sideways action form that one, loved it. Found the other ones too hard to memorise (i am very special after all).........

Sure we had to wait awhile for runs, but its a good excuse to chat to others in cars around you, so have a chat and meet some new people i say!!!! Good times had by all. And the fact that passengers were free, thats sensational, where on earth can you find that kind of value!!!

:D

any of my silver r33 boat with a white front bar????? i was only there untill just before lunch time so if its not in your morning pics it wont be there....

Here are a couple of videos I took with my GoPro HD.

First time I used it as I only got the memory card the day before. The sound is weird on some because I had to keep changing to the waterproof casing because of the damn rain. Thought I would run out of battery or memory so didn't have the quality turned right up but I think they do the job.

had an AWESOME day guys, THANK YOU to all the organisers :-) i also appreciate your understanding of the (comparitively) underpowereness of my N/A mx5.

i heard a few people moan about the wet track, personally i was praying for it and had a great time :-D

the clover course was lots of fun (lots of hand break action), so was the NO LEFT TURN/ RIGHT ONLY course :-D

Battle 2 was beyond me, had no idea!!!!!!! battle 1 was a fail for me :-(

Had a blast, would LOVE to do it again :-)

Good stuff, Ben - some awesome vids in there.

I love the one where the Camaro was being pushed back into the car park and the guys were making engine and skid noises!

lol I've practiced pushing plenty of broken cars, and the sound effects are a key part of the technique

some vids all in high res so 480p them.

GTR in teh wet - abolustely hopeless traction controll even took out a cone...

small launch - in go-2-whoa

Having some fun with Ow3n and his 'new' (read: some) suspension

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
