Hey folks, here's a cool opportunity. I've been contacted by the HSV club about their up-coming Eastern Creek day and they've extended an invitation for our club to come "Invade" their event.

Brett in their club actually drives a Skyline so you'd be in good company. He also says there is a good mix of cars that come out for these days.

The details are at their website: http://www.hsvclubnsw.com/?p=256

So why not get out and enjoy a friendly club environment that's at a premier racing complex! All members representing SAU are reminded to observe the rules & regs and to demonstrate good SAU code of conduct.

*THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL SAU EVENT

good on them :) for a long time the HSV/WRX days had been a closed, members only thing, great to see them inviting other clubs.

I reckon anyone interested in trying the new Eastern Creek should get along to this day, it is a damn expensive place to hire so opportunities don't come up often....and to me, supporting a club rather than a for-profit business is the way to go :)

Unfortunately when they upgraded Eastern Creek that was the design to have three track layouts North, South & GP. So now getting in on the GP is even tougher and still very expensive.

We're going to try to do more stuff with HSV and possibly other clubs so that we get the motorsport enthusiasts even more opportunities.

Of course it's not the full track. Eastern Creek was redeveloped for the express purpose of hiring both halves out seperately to make more money. Very few club, race or commercial events will make the whole track available - when Oran Park had this setup about 10% of their days were full track.

This day is only $190. Assuming the full track is around $25k to hire for the day they would need over 130 entrants to cover their costs at that price. Hiring just half the track make good sense for a club, and I hope they fill it.

Alternatively, you could pay about $130, or around the same for a day a MDTC or Wakefield - but you need to spend another $100 in fuel to get there and back

Hey guys, that's all good feedback but I don't see anyone actually saying they are going to enter. This is the new short track that should be a lot of fun. We have members from NSCC entering so you will be in good company.

We still have spots available so why not come along? I drive a quick HR31 but it is off the road ATM waitng for a new RB30/25 I am building.

I run all the HSV days and I have actually posted invites up here before with no takers unfortuantley. You guys are always welcome.

Let me know if you want to enter and go to the link: http://www.hsvclubnsw.com/?p=256 for all the details, regs, entry form and on-line payment.

good to see you thinking of us.

bit to late notice, plus i got nationals next month, would love to get to the creek though for that price! :(

would be good to have club vs club designated competitions etc. doesnt seem to be much interest in track days with other import clubs (or so im told from my honda and wrx friends)

SSCC, HSV, WRX, AROCA, NSCC are usually always well represented at these events, I would be going but Im spending the next month trying to work out how to make my car go fast in a straight line.

Sorry guys the day is now full - got 14 entries since Monday. You need to move quickly with these days.

Maybe come out for a look as lots of Skylines entered with one very quick R32 (WP 1.02) and lots of nice sounding HSV's. If so, come and say Hi. I am Clerk of Course for the day.

Next one will be a Wakey next April on a Monday. I'll keep you posted.

Brett

    • 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
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
