In conjunction with the next round of the MSCA sprints I have decided to post up an EOI for a weekend up at Winton.

For those that don't know Winton is open for free practice on most Fridays. So the plan is to go up for the free practice Friday and for those that are involved with the NDSOC/MSCA stay up for the weekend for a day of drinking followed by a day of competition on the Sunday.

So the Details:

Friday July 9 - Open Practice

The track is open from 10:00am until 4:30pm.

The day runs in half hour session alternating between cars and bikes.

Cost to enter is $100

Requirements - Helmet and ankle to wrist clothes.

NO CAMS LICENCE REQUIRED

The open day will use the Long Track at Winton.

Anyone can come down for this day as long as you have a roadworthy car.

Sunday July 11 - MSCA Sprint

Sunday has the next round of the MSCA sprints. Several SAU members have now joined the NDSOC and they should be ready to participate in their first sprint series. Also held on the Long Track this time.

Anyone is welcome to come down for either of the days but for those interested in both days I suggest we spend Friday/Sat nights at Benella and spend the Saturday at the pub! :(

Friday = :burnout: , Saturday = :alcoholic & :throwup: , Sunday = :burnout:

Monday = :coffee:

Im in, ill get my registration for the Sunday away this week...only problem is i had a Cams course on that weekend, Sat/Sun, :Oops: but i will pull the pin and do the one later in the year.

Do we need a place to stay, or are the local gals pretty accomodating :inlove: for a weekends accomodation...

Well, just got the Friday leave approved, what are the plans for accomodation , a motel, pub, a house for the weekend ( i have noticed that circuits usually have places that can be rented for a weekend nearby)

Has anyone stayed overnight before...offer any suggestions?

No I dont have a sump baffle and havent experienced any problems even on my big day at Sandown when I did about 50 laps! (Gearbox aside that is! lol)

The only thing I'd say is advisable is an oil cooler. And if you are going to do as many laps as possible on the open days then you also want good brakes.

Its advised putting a baffle sump when you've ugraded your power, tyres and especially brakes, the 'G' forces created with these mods is what starves the bottom end of oil....

That's just from what I've heard.....

I agree with Jack.

Sandown is nothing to go by, because the cornering speeds are relatively slow and the corners are pretty short (I should know, I worked there 3 days a week for 11 years).

Winton however is a different kettle of fish, lots of corners and you spend a long time turning some of them. Lots of people have massive fuel and oil surge problems there. Better to be safe than sorry I recon.

Just my two bobs worth.

Just posted my registration for the MSCA Sprint so all set for a good weekend... :(

There are a few GTR guys from NSW that are regulars at Eastern Creek and Wakefield, and i know of only one R33 GTR that has had dramas, and if any of them had baffled sumps id be surprised. (Exhaust and std turbos 90% of them). I am yet to hear a story of a single GTR calling it quits at a UAS day, be it Wakefield or Oran....so im sure it can be an issue, but i suspect its not as big an issue as many believe....easy for me to say owning a $600 throw away RB20 :cheers:

If your engine is in good health and you dont go round corners at 7,000rpm in 2nd when you should really be doing 5,000rpm in 3rd then i think that helps as well.

SBS strikes Victoria :D

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
