Is anyone intersted in making a trip up to Wakefield Raceway in NSW on either the 16th or 17th May?

Im wanting to go up for either the UAS day, or the SAU-NSW Day on the Monday, depends if i can get the Monday off work.

I drove down from Syd the other weekend, i got a flat and had all sorts of probs, ended up needing a tow, but i kept a close eye on the speedo, and it would only be a 6 hour drive, as Wakefield is exactly 200kms from my place in Sydney, and if memory serves me right, the total trip from my place to Melbourne was 840kms...

Stops, who needs stops, the excitement of taking the car thrashing will keep you awake, its the drive back that will be tough as i always find track days exhausting.

There are a couple of days at Wakefield in May, bu ti was looking at the 16th & 17th, have a look at the Wakefield website, there will be a day that suits your trip.

mate, sub 1.10 is bloody quick....so good luck.

I've noticed there aren't that many track days down in Vic, so maybe you'll get some ppl to come along.

THere's a few of us staying the Sunday night in Goulburn, let me know if anyone else is interested and we'll try and book it all together.

I will know by Friday which of the days i am going to, most likely going to be the UAS day, but if i get monday off work then both.

Duncan i know 1:10s is a tall ask, but i have played with my susp setup so it is more track then street now, got some R compound rubber, and found about50-80rwkws in my glovebox, so if i cant buy a 1:10 or under then i give up. My best lap with the std turbo and road rubber was a 1"13.4, so i have some improving to do

Sleep in my car, or get wildly drunk and have Goulbourn Police throw me in the lock up for the night...or may just stay in a cheapie Motel/pub or same place as Duncan and crew. Like i said ill know this weekend, if you dont want to drive up you can hitch a ride with me...you can help me push it back to Melb!

The wildly drunk option sounds sensational to me ;)

I might be getting a lift :Oops:

Either

a) i've burst an oil line on my turbo

B) burst a seal on my 2 month old turbo

c) blown the motor

It cant be much other than the above three... i'll know more on Monday :)

Still looking to go, but the car has been at the mechanics for the last 3 weeks, (Susp then dyno)...so waiting to get the car back, and also get the clean bill of health, all looks good to go though, should be getting the car back Thursday.

R31Nismoid looks like hitching a ride up with me, no other Vics seem that keen, i think it will be worth the trip for the drinks on Sunday night

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
