Hi Mick, I got your entry and forwarded to Aggrodave tonight.

James, me too, it's a good event, but I guess the club exec can't keep running events if they don't get the entrants.

Anyone wondering about whether to try it or not....give it a go, you'll have a ball :D

hmm, unfortunately it is looking like I will have a saturday afternoon soccer game so I wont be able to make it, unless it gets changed to Sunday at the last minute. sucks cause I was looking forward to it :-(

Brendan here - I'm the mate with the Commodore sweefu spoke of earlier.

I am in for this, and will get the payment and entry form sorted sometime today.

Thank heaps for putting this event on! I've driven past this track twice everyday of the week for the last 4 years, great to be finally able to give it a crack!

Thanks Duncan,

I can't believe that there arent more ACT SAU'ers interested... Everyone down here knows how awesome that back track at Sutton Rd is and how rare it is to be able to get on and drive it! :(

Was thinking the exact same thing. I thought maybe they think it's the skidpan we have rented - but I've been pretty clear it's the track?!

What time is everyone leaving on friday to head down?

Also, do you exec fags want me to post up the event on Autocult>?

Go for it. You can do an event coverage type thing afterwards too if you want?!

I'll be there around 2pm at the motel

Wish I could join but I am to worried about my clutch at the moment.

I was wondering if you still needed people to stand on the corners I do that pretty well haha

Would be more then happy to chill out for the day and watch sweet cars rip it up.

The mg club have it booked for Sunday....

They used to do (still might, not sure) a quarterly event there on the skidpan, as far as I'm aware it was never the track though.

Yes we do actually! Thanks for that, come on the day :)

I'll probably be to busy driving to shoot/cover the day. Kory the skirt is busy playing soccer or some gay shit. I'll probably bring down my camera and take a few shots but doubt there'll be enough for a post. If there is I'll put something together :)

POST IS UP. LINK

A few questions after watching that video linked from page 1 for the 200th time:

  • does that bloke get air over the crest at one point in the first half of the course?
  • is the course going to be set up exactly like it is in the video?

I'm keen to know if we are going to see enough straight road to get into 4th gear at serious speeds.

Forecast for Saturday is looking good! -2 over night...shiver me timbers!

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
