BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!


Thanks to JapLink Motors, we have a very special prize to offer new and renewing financial members of Skylines Australia NSW!


For those who haven’t heard, JapLink will be competing at this year’s World Time Attack Challenge in the Open Class with their R33 GTR – SAU:NSW members who attended the July Tech Night at JLM will have seen the car being prepared for its upcoming circuit duties. And the car will be driven by none other than Japanese Super GT and current D1GP series driver Max Orido!

(errr...... nice hat, dude)



To celebrate their pitch at the WTAC, Todd and the team at JapLink Motors have kindly donated the following prize to the club:

  • Hot laps of Sydney Motor Sport Park for one lucky passenger during WTAC in the JapLink Motors R33 GTR with Max Orido at the wheel – that’s right, riding shotgun in a fully prepared time attack car with an international driver behind the wheel at full tilt!
  • One JapLink Motors WTAC pit crew shirt as a souvenir of the occasion

So…… how do you enter the draw?

Wow what a fantastic prize! Would be awesome to win.

Although I already know wont be able to get out of work :(

However ... as EC is soo close I will be able to hear the action lol.

^^ you can be 'abducted' with no idea who the driver was!

Could look like Max with grey hair!

Us Asians all 'look the same'!

Police Interview goes...

Officer: Can you help us with a description?

Chris: Umm, I think he was brunette...

and he was wearing this wide brimmed hat...

or was it a helmet?

Drive-bys happen all the time! :P

...and you don't lose pay.

Hmm will discuss further Lol.

Sigh, only renewed my membership in August.

Would of waited it out if I had of known.....lol

Orido is one of my favourite drivers, but can't justify forking out for another year membership considering funds are tight as a uni student.

Wait so I only paid for my membership last month. Does that mean I have to pay again to enter the draw?

Afraid so. This is way too big a of prize to throw of all the current members in the draw hence the need to renew to secure a spot.

Also remember everyone you have to send me a PM with your details to be in the draw! If you mail off your form/payment without letting me know i won't have your details for the comp. Go go go!

Yeah, I just transferred as pre-renewal for 2014. Figure I'll be round for a couple of years. As long as it's noted and we don't have a problem next year I'm all for it.

    • 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?
