excellent, how does one get involved with helping out? dont mind being involved in oganising one if it means getting on track sooner.

There's one in the works, Stu - an official SAU one. Once the details are locked in, they'll be posted up! Meant to be in mid-June, assuming all goes to plan.

Go down there (seeing as you're a bit closer than most of us), kick some asses and ask for more days to be made available to us on weekends, maybe? :(

I dunno honestly, but that will be our first obstacle. With OP gone, it's already hard to get track time, and will become increasingly so as time goes on, unfortunately. :blink: Duncan did get a date from them AFAIK, so it's just a matter of us sorting the details, and that will be happening soon.

Stu, to get involved you need to hand over your keys to anyone who has that little blue bar under their name with the word Executive in it. Once you've done that, it's simply a matter of a nudie run down George St, and you're in.

yeah things are obviously 50% harder now OP is gone.

SAU NSW has booked Wakefield back in November 09 for the only unbooked weekend date in 2010 - 18th June. We are also on the waiting list for any other weekend dates. As always we will run it as a driver training day to help our first time trackers get out there and give it a go :thumbsup: Eastern Creek is not realistic to hire at $10k ($300 for 33 cars) to break even on a week day.

For those who have already done a few track days I would recommend Circuit Club days, SSSC days or just open wakie days. And post up in here and get a few other people along :cool: Also Noel (Fineline), one of our favourite cockroaches is down at Wakie in April so head along then

Personally at this stage the june date is my target to have the race car back on the track running well

If you need a hand, lemme know... I can scrape knuckles like the best of em! :thumbsup: Or is this one at the mechs again?

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
