I'm really tempted to do this....it's all on finances.

The cars ready....just needs a road tune, tail shaft and the power steering cooler put back in.

I just hope it rains! Evo-tard hunting for me....might be time to use those rub guards again!

Mr2 hey....

I prefer not to go randomly spearing off into the scenery.... :P

Nah I'm sure they are good, but I'm after a Nissan. I've already started collecting bits!

I look forward to showing you the benefits of inherent balance........I do understand about NIssans though as so many bits are interchangeable, Silvia of some sort? An R33 GTST? GTR if you're really cashed up?

I'll definitely be making the long trip 1 hour down the road to watch all you crazys fly around. Unfortunately I doubt my gearbox would be up to the beating it would take, so I'll be spectating.

Will there be a gate entry charge to spectate?

I can't help with a guide to good accommodation (as I live close enough to not need it), but I may be able to make your choice a bit easier depending on what your plans are while here.

1) If your main focus will be the driving, I'd say get a room in Benalla 5 mins from the track or Wangaratta 10-15mins from the track. This option would also be for you if you didn't want much night life. Also I'm not sure if Benalla has any type of dedicated autoparts store, just a few machanics and car yards. Wangaratta has a supercheap and probably a couple of other options.

2) If however you'd want to be partying a bit harder than just being at a pub, I'd say get a room in either Albury or Wodonga which are both about 1 hour from the track. Albury has a decent night life (if you're into that sort of thing).

Hope that helps some of you.

Although now I've checked the actual date I see it's a Monday. For some reason I assumed it would be a Saturday haha. I would still say the above is true, however Monday night would be quite tame compared to Wednesday, Friday, Saturday or even Sunday nights.

Hey Theo - I'm going to have a crack at your time at Eastern Creek South first. I'm booked for the CAMS come and try day on Jan 19th. What did you end up with? 1:16 or something?

it was a 1:14.77 i think............ Jan 19th that might still be a bit warm LOL luck of the draw i guess.

Yeah, its short sessions as its a come and try day. $30 gets you on the track if you haven't had a CAMS licence in the past.

only 3 flying laps in a session- with an instructor too, but gives me something to aim for :)

Cheers, for the accom tips.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
