Hi All,

I am looking for someone to join our 6 Hour team for the August event. It involves 2 days at Phillip Island doing lots of laps for very relatively small outlay. Car only needs to comply with similar regs for sprints and can be run on a basic CAMS license.

Would love to have another SAU member there to enjoy the fun. Just PM or phone me if you are interested.

Chris.

Hi, Just emailed Chris with my intention to join his team with my S15. Read the sub Reg that the minimum lap time ( 1:55) the quickest you are caped,going under that, you will cop penalty and even disqualified.look forward seeing you there.

Bump!

Only 1 spot left. Someone must want to stretch the legs of a GTT. No need to thrash it but heaps of laps to be had as fast as you feel comfortable with.

Go on, you know you want to :P

Will call you tomorrow,or call me on 0433878905. I have got my mate interested to join with his GTR33

Just to give anyone thinking about it a bit of a stir along. I am in the same team as Fatz, if anyone wants to get into the event this year your ONLY way in is with a team that needs another driver. Our entry was in on the Thursday of the week entries opened and we are team 47 our of 50! There are no team entries left and a reserve list of teams as well.

Most reasonably quick cars were doing somewhere between 2:00 and 2:15 last year, with up to 50 cars out there at once your times get knocked around a fair bit, plus it will almost cretainly rain, it is the Island after all!

Sorry to say that our team has a full compliment of drivers although I am happy to have a reserve name in case of emergency.

I agree with Blue. We are team 48! Which means we must have had our entry in 18 seconds after theirs :-)

Seeing Chris in your first post and looking at the entry list I should say who I am (Not putting full names up online of course) It is Paul with the yellow R31 Coupe, Cookie and I will see you at the island! Unless of course you are not the Chris I am thinking of! No matter seeing we will be in adjoining garages, we will see you anyway!

I reckon entries will need to be in with the promoters by the Wednesday in the openeing week next year to avoid missing out!

I had already guessed it was you or Cookie. Is the yellow peril going to survive this year? :-)

It should!

The problem last year was caused by a port that I had welded up in the plenum, the welder did not do a good enough job of it and a blob of alloy broke free on the back of the weld and went into #4. A head gasket and both manifold gaskets to pull the head off to retrieve it and it was back up and running a week later! I had initially thought it had broken a valve spring as it rattled and dropped a cylinder. A shard of alloy was keeping an exhaust valve open and the main bit was squashed flat between the head and piston.

Here is hoping for a trouble free run this year.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
