I'd share a garage with you if I was entering :)

Turns out they don't take pre-bookings now, and you can only book them on the day. You need to call client services on 0418 554 734. A lady called Marnie is rostered on for this Saturday... confirm pricing with her but I believe it's $165 per garage (fits 2)

I'm told hey accept cash, eftpos, credit cards.. there is also an ATM on site.

That is so damned expensive - with bike trackdays you can fit 4 bikes in a garage and its $10 per bike, plus everyone uses tyre warmers, uses their electricity too.

Jeebus! 1:13 at sandown is decent. Still not quite as quick as that sports sedan thing that did a 1:06 :D but that's extreme-cheater-fat-slicks-tube-frame-6L-chevvy-carbon-everything spec.

Yeh I'm not sure how that works either.

It was on slicks for sure and was hella loud yes. I though he had entered WTAC, that makes sense.

Miles came second in Club Sprint @ WTAC last year - a bee's dick behind Marek. But that car is now too far out of Club Sprint regs with all the weight saving he has going on so he was going to run in Open but as I said tyres are still too much of an issue for R35's in Open/Pro so he withdrew. I'm really keen to see what the Cyber R35 does with tyres of the next few years of development because its the biggest issue facing Mark Hansen in QLD because the roll centres etc just aren't working properly running such small diameter wheels. He reckons they really need 19's as a minimum but there just isn't good tyres available in the bigger sizes.

Surely the 'embargo' on larger tyre development will cease within the next 18-24 months though....?

They have a pretty good Cafe on-site.

They do real Hamburgers, not out of the packet ones.

How many of you need membership notes by the way?

- Scott

- Dave (sorted Martin has your card)

L platers get same track time as rest so nothing to worry about there.

I'm on 98 and will be brining a full tank plus 60L if the forcast is ok, for 2L

If your vokda powered...umm lots??

Goddamn...your saying you will use over 100ltrs how much power you running..

guess I should just fill the boot then, good thing its only a buck a litre..

I'll be amazed if my car doesn't break before I got through a tank actually.

I'm going to bring 80L of ethanol, plus 3/4 of a tank, got to allow for the trip home.

Can we lobby the local United for an e85 pump? :)

Yes please, I mean the damn servo is ideally located for E85.

I'm filling up, uses about 1/2 tank to get to the Island. Bringing 4-6 jerry's (4 are filled now, if it can be assed filling the other two...not sure).

But you L platers won't use as much fuel as the rest of us.

Holy shit im bringing 40L of fuel plus half a tank. I thought that was alot. 98RON. 320kw.

You're not driving the car there though....

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
