Hey guys, I don't think you can register. I've been twice and each time you just turn up and pay on the day. It's fairly busy for the first few rounds but everyone manages to get out on the track.

Believe it or not, by the end of the day there's no line! The one's I've been to have been in summer and the heat takes it's toll on cars and drivers.

You will need a helmet, long sleeve shirt and pants. Fire extinguishers are not needed in road registered cars. There's a bowser at the track that has optimax and the BP in Benalla has ultimate, the shell has optimax.

Normally pays to be there about 9am, Driver's breifing is usually at 10( not 100% sure).

Keep your eye on www.wintonraceway.com.au, it's listed on the callendar.

While I have everyone's attention I'm after a good digital photo of a series 3 skyline silhouette rear decal to make up a new one, can anyone help me out?

I'd be interested, but what are the insurance aspects for third party coverage and emergency vehicle attendance? Are there sup regs available?

Forgot to mention, no vehicle insurance. Someone hits you, you hit someone, it's a racing incident. I took my silvia K's out the first time and stressed, the brakes were terrible as well.

I have a stanza now, cheap, easy on parts and brakes twice as good (stripped out) and does it all day. And if I roll it I'm up for $100 for another one.

Only interested in 3rd party. If you injure or kill someone you don't want to pay for the rest of your life. Winton is AASA so cover should be about 20mill if this event is covered. Just the cost worries me being so low. You would be liable on a $50 bmx without event coverage.

Still looking after the crippled wife. She can't even get around on crutches so I have to push her in a computer chair (hey - it has wheels doesn't it?) so I won't make any guarantees I will make it.

From what I have heard of previous Winton Fun days you can get a similar effect by driving down your favorite twisty road during peak hour traffic :cool:

I would save the trip for a sprint, preferably soon while the V8 Supercar rubber is still fresh!

(Good for learning the racing line too :P )

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
