Haha Artz, yes general idea is to aim for sand then turn at the last minute... I only stuffed one part of that theory up...

As for faster cars, exactly as Artz said, you can just get out of their way and they won't care about you. On that fatefull lap for example, Artz could have eaisly stayed in front of me through the strait and then pissed me off around the corners, but he just pulled over and let me through, no hard feelings on either side. Don't worry about going slower, as your skill and confidence grows, you may end up passing them one day!

Winton is such a good track for beginners too. Max speed last time I was there was only 160iirc.

Hrmm you guys have started to sway me to go!

Top speed tracks isnt a problem for me, I just don't confidence yet to carry speed through a corner. For some reason I get afraid the tail might come out mid way through a corner rather than being afraid of understeer.

But yeah I'll keep an eye on entrants, if it's low and not 100 entrants i might enter!

jump on board guys, winton is a great little track to learn at. if you've done one session of DT you've done enough. the only way to learn is experience and winton is by far the best track to gain some

So after Garage Cafe last night

Highly likely ill do Winton

What are the Garage Hire prices like? Anyone hiring any?

Also anyone driving up in the morning from the South East? Could drive up together. Nohomo.

Gates upon at 7am so would have to get up at like 4a.m :/

they don't have garages as such, but they have a heap of undercover sheds:

and they free

I'm going up the night b4 so remind me the day b4 and will hold a bay for you

Will do! :thumbsup:

Also see Martin wearing the MS long sleeve there in the background.

I will endeavour to get these off Ryan and bring them along.

Where does one acquire these MS long sleeve shirts?

Aim to be there 730. Generally we turn up around 745-8, but the earlier you are, the better car ports you end up with.

I will be making the trip in the morning as well.

drive up the night b4 is the best way to do winton, I'll be going up after work - 7pm knockoff on fridays is a PITA at least I can drive straight from Epping

anyone want to meet at the epping BP servo at 7ish for cruise up?

Hrmm sup regs say gates open at 7 and then Scrutineering at 7:15a,m

Last weekend at Sandown I head the scrutineers cracking the shits at the Wrx organisers as no on was coming on time and making things run a little late

drive up the night b4 is the best way to do winton

Yeah I won't be able to make it up the night before unfortunately

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
