This came up this morning on my usual email discussions with a few friends...

Now see i thought it was up for sale 12-18months ago?

I couldv'e sworn it was sold, and this would mean the new owners are selling...

Of course this all could be wrong as im a bit vauge on it all :cool:

  • 2 weeks later...

Hopefully someone with a lot of money and passion buys it because it wouldn't take that much to make it much better.

It is also not at the mercy of having ever expanding residential areas complaining like Calder has.

Not that harder day trip for much of Melbourne, very easy for us here in Bendigo and many other regional towns in the area.

Little bit of a freshen up and some promotion of off-street racing would do the place a lot of good.

Last i heard Russell is going through divorce and has to sell it..

Doubt he will be giving it away cheap considering it's costing us close to 30k including insurance for the weekend..

$30k for two days?

damn WSID is cheaper (for a club event)

I love heathcote though (it's like going back in time about -30 years) lots of unregulated fun. At least not over-regulated anyway. The track has been for sale for years hasn't it?

Yeah it would of been easier to take over a test and tune like we did last time.. lol

He also wants a percentage of the money made from spectator entry aswell.. :)

But being the first nationals we don't know how many will be tuning up and we have to put up the sponsors banners..

The track has been forsale for ages but it's only been in the last 6 months that he really wants to sell it.

Not much we can do about it though, most of the guys don't want cages in their street cars and we need the numbers so heathcote it is..

    • 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?
