I reckon Pettett would make a special trip to NSW to sort you out. :thumbsup:

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?

wanna go me homie?

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.

well i dunno about the other guys but i'll probly have 1 or 2 mates with me and might make a weekend of it drive down either sat or sun come back tuesday but depends on price aswell i suppose.

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.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
