Semi slicks, check.

Full tank if fuel, check.

Raised suspension to not foul tyres, check.

Boost controller, tomorrow.

Nearly all systems go for sutton.....

Woooooooooooo hooooooooo

Yes spaces left. Send the form and money today and you'll be fine.

There is no extra cost for the CAMS license other than the actual cost of the license (eg it costs you no more to do it on the day, but the license cost still has to be paid)

So it turns out i can't afford it at the moment, which sucks epic....

hopefully you guys get a good turn out and we'll be able to do another one in the not too distant future.

I might still come out to spectate a little bit though, maybe.

Scott, don't worry so much! You'll live longer :D

There is a slow lap at the start where everyone goes in single file at a slow pace so you will be familiar with the track.

By mega power, I'm talking 420rwkw and upwards. I'd expect you to be in 2nd or 3rd for the whole run (of course with the exception of 1st at 7500rpm for the launch at the start)

Also that crest is like any crest you see in hilly parts of Sydney, for example the big one in Greenwich. You're not encouraged to go flat out over it and by doing so your time will be slower anyway so stuff that. If it's really bothering you I'll take you to it in the morning before runs start and drive over it myself with you in the car to demonstrate it's perfectly harmless when common sense is used :)

What are you talking about Steveo?!?!

I'm worried that I (a) WON'T get air and (b) won't get in to fourth gear.

If I don't get into at least 3rd gear with my 310awkw I'm going to be devastated. And I will only be launching at 1250 rpm in first.

I'm very familiar with that crest in Greenwich in fact I know someone who got monster air off it, crashed and now has monster metal plates in him. Retard.

Car is still being tweaked as I type this so it can't get much more prepared than that (assuming I get it back in time). Bring it on!

So lets say I want to enter. I can fill out the form and fax is etc, but what about payment?? Even if I transfer it first thing tomorrow chances are it won't appear in your account by the end of the day. Cash on the day ok???

Yes bring cash on the day... make sure it is the correct amount, we don't have oodles of change!

Brakes bled see u ladies there

What's with the early night bludger?

I've just knocked off, wrecker motor in the car, seems to be running OK. Thanks to Mark and the boys at Hills Motorsport for putting on some late nights to help get it ready.

See y'all on saturday

kept half asking Steve tonight if we ended up with the numbers to do another one of these things, sure hope so.

He would then burst out in laughter at some ribald joke someone or another had made and im pretty sure half of Canberra had to hear us giggling away as we drank the only pub for miles dry of all its finest lager.

Good times folks.

and i havent even turned a wheel in anger yet..

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
