So, you might be able to snare a spare 'access all areas' pass for a beloved SAU Admin? :ninja::D :D :D

I take it from your sig that the RB27 makes significantly more power now, than the 298rwkw figure from 2007 - given you have run an 11.24 pass. VERY impressive time indeed!!!!! Is that 2wd or 4wd?

HAHA, i wish i could get spare passes, i couldnt even get one for my wife when she went to the Gold Coast round last year with me.

Thanks for the comments about my car, but it still only makes just under the 300rwkw to run the 11, its all about the tyres.

Cheers

Wow that is an amazing time for that power level - with a 1.61 60' you must really hook it up! I know what you mean it is all about tyres .... back in 2003 I did a 12.74 110mph in my S15 and it only made 200rwkw - but it would do consistent 1.6-1.8 sec 60' times with decent street tyres - and it was my work car that I drove there and drove home at full weight.

That is one of the vids from the day,

Im the first car on there, with R33 with black bonnet and NUTR33 on the plates.

Hey Whiplash, what do you do with VodkaO, on one of the teams or an organiser?

i will be in a fadded orange Chanel7 shirt that looks 2 sizes to small for me working on the cameras, come and say hi if you like.

Cheers

Luke

Looking forward to being trackside agai this year, but probably only Thursday and Friday. (In the usual spot if you want to drop past)

So you'll miss the fashion shows behind your seats on Saturday and Sunday :closedeyes: 1st no Schutzenfest and now bailing on bikini parade.... you changed man :action-smiley-069:

Wow long time no hear Guy :) - if you are after a ticket for either Saturday or Sunday on Pit Entry Gold, I am selling some tickets at $85 per day. Or I still have a 4 day pass for $185.

Good to catch up with you today Nick.

They have destroyed our usual shade tent, but the fashion parade catwalk is still there, and the XXXX girls trailer was backed up for a show today.

Back again tomorrow.

Hopefully I get to spend most of the day in the corporate section (again) enjoying the free food and drinks.

yeah mate,

sorry couldn't hang around longer, with all practice and qualifying today it was a bit mad.

just got home after 14 hours at the track :huh:

oh and if your down near the GT paddock come and try our simulators, set up with the GT cars and the adelaide track :pirate:

1 hour race was great at night,

From the press release:

GTR I found sitting in front of the GT paddock

Our poor Lambo suffered a lower control arm failure during the race.

Andrew and I apparently stared on the Super Screen today :whistling:

Was chillin with my "old mate" Murray Walker on the podium today, watching the GT race, got a few photo's with him, whilst holding a bottle of Vodka O :thumbsup:

Vodka O porsche needs a heart transplant, don't think its normal for the oil to be 30% metal shavings :-(

I tried to find you this morning to no avail :( did pass murray in his golf cart though on the walk down to the GT pit area

Apparently andrew and pete tried to find me, but i musta been off escorting the guys in "yowie" suits around

amazing how far a green uniform gets you in the pit area :laugh:

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
