As usual Saturday witll be qualifying and 1 race, sunday 2 races.

While you'll never get another chance to come to the debut meeting (:D ) the next one is at EC on 1-2 May, same date as the AGM, maybe everyone should drop by afterwards :)

Anyone else coming along?

Sadly no coverage of the state champs on TV, although there will be a special section in Motorsport news after each round.

The team's also entering Targa Tas (1 car) and NSW Dutton (2 cars) this year, there will be coverage of both, we'll keep you all posted :D

well, the weekend......finished better than it started.

A little impatience at the start meant that Mark had a drive throught penalty on the first lap (ahh, so you have to wait until the light goes out!), and of course when doing the drive through he sped....meaning he copped a second drive through. Despite the fact teh GTR can nevah be beaten he came in last :)

Second race, started from 17th made a good start and was running 10th when they came to turn 8. A slightly overambitious move from a bommodore saw mark smacked off the track on a small cross country excursion! He recovered, rejoined and worked his way beack to 10th when an intercooler hose blew off...leading to retirement from the race. DNF

Third race, started from 17th (again), and proceeded to zoom through the field eventually running 4th on the 7th lap when the race was red flagged.

And, I can't wait to get my car out there :)

hi Duncan,

Good stuff with getting the GTR trackside. Just one thing, are you aware there is already a "team raceworx"? Simon Evans races for them (rally team). I was just looking for some info on your cars and typed "raceworx" into the search engine and got heaps of their stuff.

Hope it's not a problem mate.

Just thought I should let you know...

lol, you've got the crazy bit right.

Thanks for mentioning the rally team Richard, but they forgot one small issue, registering the name :( We own it but have decided not to sue at this stage

our website is at www.teamraceworx.com, but its still an early draft

Also forgot to mention, keeping things rolling, Raceworx next meet is the HPI Drift Nationals at Calder Park next weekend.

A certain lunatic in a slivia is going down to show them how to do it :D

Next round at EC 1-2 May? Doesn't that clash with Fatz's Drift Day?

Do you guys have a timetable of events on both days? Just wondering which would be more interesting to goto...

Actually, Raceworx is going to be *very* spread out that weekend, coz our third car will be down competing at Targa Tas :D

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
