Hey guys,

Wondering if anyone is keen to run their car or come up for a look.

Supra Club is heading up so there should be a fair bit of jap cars to see run.

Whoever is interested, we could all set a meet up location and cruise up together.

Hopefully this thread is not a "fail" and few people jump on board!

do we need fire extinguisher fitted to cars?

do we need any licence for track eg cams?

or is it a laid back day just need roadworthy car n helmet and long sleaves n pants n fully enclosed footwear

not working wouldnt mind heading up for a bit of fun

Yer i know, my pays gone backwards :/

I'd not have an issue paying $60 @ Heathcote if it was properly prepped.

Tis a long way to go for a unprepped track that's running the same surface as it was laid 30 odd years ago.

Not HC are charging $60 - Calder is suddenly reasonably priced and you get a prepped track in good condition... Not the best, but the best in the state lol.

ENOUGH!!!!

-you are putting people off, now no-one wants to come... lol

Anyway, some positives of heathcote track=Never too busy so you can run your car as much as you like

Oh look Heathcote has it's place. Not saying it's bad dude.

I've raced there more than I've raced @ Calder over the years :) and it was good value under the old owners.

I remember Paul has like 25 or 30 runs on SAU Drag Day we had up there - that was surely worth some sorta prize.

what about the weather? suppose to be raining

It's like DECA... When they forecast rain - it never actually does :D

I've been to HCote maybe 5 times when its raining in Melb, and for 40mins of the drive.

Get to the track and it's dry and ready for racing!

Was a awesome day and weather actually held out didn't rain at all cept for the night before :)

Ran a 12.6 with a 1.9 60ft myself

You did very well!

Me, not well.

1st run, i didnt deflate my tires, no traction of take off, 2nd gear sideways, had to back off.

2.5 60ft

13.6 @108mph

2nd run=gear box.

Oh you were the guy with the s15? Hope it isn't too bad :s

I was actually surprised at mine didn't have any problems and was very consistent in the 12s slowest was a 13.1 but had issues often with speed limited.

By 3pm I was just doing back to back runs :D

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
