Was a great day, I know a few of the drivers and managed to get some pics of my son driving the DR30. ;)

I saw a couple of GTR's including 3 R35's, but no Sau stickers. Who else made the trek down?

Awesome photos.. especially the DR30.. didn't realise that was floating around still :(.

It was locked away since its last race, Hadn't been started in nearly 20 years apparently.

Still had a lot of the original race parts like asbestos brake pads, you cant get closer to original race spec than that.

Thats correct. at least now we can see that the GIO car is the hands of a very good steerer. though im not sure what happend in the last race on sunday. he bogged down off the line, then miss shifted going from 1st to 2nd, then i think he had an off around the southern loop because when he came back into view around the back toward the hairpin, he was dead last!

it was awesome watching Terry carve his way through the field in the last race! he started at the back because he had a fuel pick up issue in the morning race (of which he was dominating!). in just six laps he managed to get from the back, up to 4th place (from memory).

In the Friday qualifying session Terry clocked a 1:44.9819! thats one for track guys who are going to phillip island in april for the wrx club day to think about... :blink:

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
