The SAUSA committee have agreed to open 8 spots up for the general public for the SAUSA track day 5, the details are as follows....

It's time for our first track day of 2012 and we have a special surprise for you, this time around, we're allowed PASSENGERS!!! That's right, no cage needed, just a helmet, a special day license, a waiver form and an extra bit of money to cover insurances and you can be blasting around Mallala with your mate in the passenger seat! What could be better than that!?!?!? As with our previous days, this will be a grip only event so no sliding; we don't want to get into Clems bad books.

The total cost for the day will be $250 (up from the usual $200 to cover the extra insurance needed for a day like this) PLUS an extra $50 for a special AASA license to allow passengers. If you have a CAMS license, you won't need to pay the extra $50. Applications are available on the day so there's no worries there, just make sure you have the green stuff in hand. Deposits will be needed as we need to secure the track, this will be $150 and will need to be payable by March 25th (non refundable), as usual any problems with money and get in touch with us, we aren't monsters and understand things come up so we can work around it. The remainder is due on April the 6th for general so you've got plenty of time to get the cash together.

Also to note lap timers can be hired from SAU-SA for the day and at a very low cost of $50 per person. These are a great tool to help you learn what works and what doesn't on track and just how things influence your times. They're also good for bragging to friends :P Please note if you want to hire one and we will mark you down on the list. They've been quite popular in the past as those who have used them can attest to; payment for these is also due on the 25th of March.

On the day we'll hold a raffle for one lucky person to ride shotgun in Munro's 35GTR, he'll take you out for a session and scare your pants off :P Tickets are $1 each and will be drawn after lunch

A free BBQ will also be available on the day, drinks will be $1 per can.

If you are intending to bring friends and or family, can you please make note of how many you intend to bring as a rough indication of just how much food for us to bring.

Date: 16th April 2012

Please express your interest here and you'll receive all the payment information

Thanks

SAUSA Committee

The R35 is having a few "tweaks" before this meeting so will be interesting to see if it can "bring it" to the R33.

R33 will have new set of slicks & has been tuned for E85 so hoping for a good day.

BTW. The passenger ride will take place BEFORE lunch. I am not keen on getting the car messy!

These days are a lot of fun so come out for a run if you can................

Is it just personal time trials and do you know how many people on track at once?

Keen for some safe fun

Last track days the groups have been sorted into Beginner through to the Hardcore. Jump in the Beginner group and have fun. Towards the end of the day it becomes a survival of the fittest sort of thing lol

There's no 'racing' go as fast or slow as you want.

We usually let cars out in groups of 8, that way there's plenty of track for everyone :)

Sounds good! Pretty keen- will have to check the cash funds and my calander then decide >.<

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
