top weekend! great to catch up with you NSWer's and meet a few new faces too. as well as some old ones - think its been longer since I saw Noel than you blokes! I don't know if Noddy had anything to do with it, or if it was just luck that most of us ended up in the same group on the track... funny that all weekend we were getting in trouble for talking sh1t in the marshalling area when we should have been moving up to pit exit.

glad you southerners liked the track. It was my first time there since 2004 in a ~100rwkw Datsun 1200, so it was a bit of a learning experience for me too. Must say the new higher speed section is a welcome addition! Loved it. I think I might do the series there next year.

buggered if I can find those results Bill mentioned on mylaps... anyone had more luck than me?

Congrats to Stuart and Callum on their awesome results, and Dunc and Chris on their times. Nice driving all round fellas! Shame about your car Noddy. Get yourself some Federals mate

just working on a couple of videos now...

cheers ryan!

yeah i has a happy!!!

Cheers all, got a 90% plus run in today, 3rd run was happy with time 1.22.8 something

Maybe, the rule book is at my laps for classes all I can find is last weekends - no up to date results.

Will put some incar up next week. Duncan still can - lucky he had the camera on the right side when the left side didnt allow room for a camera.

Presentation was great, got a second in class in 2A, B F / up class and then they forgot fastest tintop trophy anyway.

Other than 1950's classes and class issues, the facilities and club ran a fantastic event - for a info note, we contacted Doreen and Michael of CAMs (our state reps of CAMs) and were promised a reply on classes for Aussie Hillclimb and Supersprints and guess what -well maybe their reponse email maybe going through mylaps

So on a quite word if you want the classes sorted for next year in Adelaide - please do as I did and waste your time but please continue to email Doreen and Michael until someone gets an answer

Was good to meet some unknowns - some still are - anyway I am sure next time I will have a bit more time and we will meet again

PS remember above lets rub it in to CAMs thats what we are paying our membership fees for and get this sorted out

Just got home, was happy to see the f3 after all the rain from Musellbrook- gosford, then the traffic 20kms north of singleton - the f3 at newcastle.

Was a really good weekend, and to get out of sydney for a few days. Good to meet a few new people. looked like everyone had fun. am keen to come up and try the track out when the car is ready (really had a hard think about moving up there with all the tracks after talking to Noddy).

i have some videos and pics will upload later when finished editing them

well that was a great weekend away!

first up, thanks to Matt in particular for looking after the car all weekend. apart from killing the turbos by sunday afternoon, and having to do rear swaybar bushes on friday, the car was great. Also hge thanks to Mitch and Georgie for helping out too, it was a good group.

It was excellent to meet all a bunch of banana-benders including noddy, harry, callum, noel - particular thanks for noddy for having us in his town and showing us the delights of the palace hotel. but wtf was that $7.5M pedestrian underpass....can't beleive I didn't get to walk through it.

The event itself was excellent, well run with lots of lap times and very professional. My only issue, as with Stuart, was their decision not to use the CAMS supersprint classes. As a result there was no production car class for me to defend last year's title, I was in over 3l sports cars with stuart's r33, supercharged elises, and worst of all 180s and onevias! Still came 4th in class and 5th overall which I reckon was a good run in that car.

Morgan Park is an excellent track and well worth the visit - recently extended which apparently makes it a lot quicker, but most importantly it has real challenges to get the hang of - blind corners, bent straights, off camber sections, and lots of bumps. I reckon I could run there every day for a year and still be learning new things. Very similar to Oran Park in character which is about the highest compliment I can think of >_<

I'll get my vids up in the next few days too....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
