Just got home(stopped in to see the parents).

Was an awesome day.

Thank you to the organisers and volunteers who made this day possible.

Unfortunately, I won nothing.

First lap was ok, 2nd lap, blew off 1 of the bottom intercooler pipes, 3rd and 4th, blew of the top one.

On saying that though, with blowing the pipe off on the 4th round, approx 1/3 around the track, I had a comparative lap time to my first.

So i must have been getting better.

I'm just glad they were simple problems.

So, next on the mod list, some silicon joiners and the bottom 2 hard pipes.

Oh, and coil packs.

See you all at the next one.

You had to post that up didn't you!

Thanks all for a great day, it was good to finally get out and get a feel for the new setup. Still have to get used to it though me thinks.

And big thanks to Jenna for the friendly rivalry ;) you'll get me next time hahahaa

I need to grow a pair for the jump, I was backing off waaaaay to early.

Will definately go again to sutton, awesome place, soooooo much fun.

NOw if only Pete can do a lap without taking out 20 cones :)

i love this track :)

Cheers to the organisers, i have had a great time (as usual)

Heres when i tried to learn how to fly. note the wheel afterwards.....

Haha nice work man

Watching it from behind at the corner looked insane.

First ever SAU event and it was good to chill out in the Canberra sun and watch all of you guys thrash it around.

Can't wait to get my coilovers sorted and clutch so I can get out there as well.

Those little micras can go hard!

Also the chaser sounded and looked amazing

hey guys,

loving the pics and vids, keep em coming. I will be back in sydney after a little more poking around in Canberra tomorrow night and will upload all mine then. Nice to finally meet a few more forum peeps today and have a quick blast around the track.

Confirmed my love for track days as im an impatient bugger but it helps when everyones so easy going and chatty when you need to pass the time in between runs.

Was a little disappointed with my lap times but im happy to blame it on cold tyres, a big laggy turbo and basically anything other than poor driving!

Either way i had a great time and hope someone posts some shots up of me getting mega sideways on the way up the hill, i also wanted to be braver going over the jump but lost my bottle when i saw James car come in after some 'mad air' (i overheard this on the radio) with a few pieces missing and a few more cracks on the windscreen..

seeing the above video justifies my conservative approach. not sure where my time can be made up but launching is definitely a big issue as pointed out by Dave etc.

Thank god that wakefield etc doesnt care how fast you can get it off the line..

anyway, more pics. more stories and definitely more events like this please!

oh yeah how could i forget, collected one on my last run out..nice long crack in my front bar thanks to one of the most solid and unyeilding cones of death i have ever had the misfortune to come across..

What a prick tease that was!

Standing there watching skids and slides!!!

Bring on the next one :D.

LukeGTR. Have you checked your engine mounts lately? That might have something to do with your hose popping bizzo!

Good day, big thanks to those who volunteered their time on the day.

I conceed the title of greatest GTR/Driver combo to Duncan this round :)

Video of one of my slow runs with a little sideways action near the middle. It looked a lot worse in the car trying to keep it on thrack.

Just.... wow. What a f**king unreal track. I can't believe this unloved corner of NSW has been hiding such a gem for so long. Thanks to the club members who organised the day but most of all thanks to the volunteers who sat around the circuit and helped to make it run as smoothly as possible - you guys are legends. Much better than the jerks at the start line who changed my team name on Natsoft.

7th in the overglorified cressida on proper street tyres - invest in semis i think next time, chase that pesky Cass coupe down....

P.S. anyone who doesn't come next time is a raging homo

Hey mate, engine mounts were replaced with the rebuild in December.

It's down to the fact that I'm such a tight ass, I've got the original hose from the twin turbo pipe cut up to be the hard pipe joiner instead of getting silicon.

Also need new hose clamps.

Oh well, thematic the breaks.

At least it wasn't too serious.

Bah ha ha ha ha ha.

For everyone who hasn't seen Tats team name, get on the natsoft site and check it out.

2nded, if y'all don't come, expect to denounced to homo status unless you have a REALLY good excuse.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
