Low key is my bet.

Incase it's a closed event I suggest keeping the hotel brunch thing in mind. The lady I spoke to said it's $35 and is on the roof, so if you can't get a good view around the track for any reason use the hotel roof

This sounds awesome Steveo. Do you know if I can just rock up in the morning and pay my $35, or should I book a spot first?

Doubt I can get Tues off and don't want to lose a booking fee or anything.

Got a bunch of vids on my iphone that I will be putting up soon, and a couple of guys i work with were doing HD pics and vids, so i will put those up when i can get a copy of them.

F1 car sounded awesome, first time i have seen or heard one in real life.

yeah i have to agree with you theres nothing like it. I'd been watching the F1 on TV for years, finally went to the melb GP one year and was awestruck... gets the testosterone sloshing around your ears in about 2 secs flat.

Tell me about it, 2 years ago i went to the F1 and i still remember being in the cab just after we landed and as we were getting closer and closer we could hear the cars getting louder. It was pretty funny having 5 grown men in a maxi cab all sticking their heads out the window as we drove along

my pics from today. great to see an F1 car tearing up the mountain although they weren't giving it 10/10ths for a promo day. weather was perfect, track dried about 30 mins before they went out. great success :)

Probally just wishfull thinking ...

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
