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

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
