Sau Vic 2014 Motorsport Championship Round 2 - Calder Saturday 8Th March


Recommended Posts

thats great news :) if they need people to chip in, would be happy to.

Will sign-in and attend briefing but probably wont be on track till after 10. Would love to leave my tools in a garage during that time.

The garages were all snapped up early, but the undercover area seemed to work.

For Sandown we'll have a garage, with the plan of having a free bbq for SAU VIC members. Currently the next round is 13th of April.

First time at Calder with the white 200sx and had a great day! Unfortunately had to pack up a bit early due to a small oil leak but great to meet a few ppl!

Need to fix up and get ready for Sandown! :)

And some Squires Loft love ;)

Had a ok time. Brakes, tyres good. Chopped 5 seconds off in the 9 laps I managed. Good enough.

Oil temps of utter failure destroyed any further time improvements.

Peter catch you again at Sandown, especially if the club is putting on a BBQ with some Squires Loft goodies J

Looking at Natsoft there were a few people running from SAU that I didn’t say hi to, hope to put that right at the next round.

Anyhow, here's some of my in car footage from Saturday.

Few pics from the day. Gotta thank Anthony for taking the photos given he had to keep one eye on the track and the other in the grass looking out for snakes! haha

The rest of the pics here http://www.circuitthreads.com/wrxsau-round-2-calder-park/

Bring on Sandown!

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
