Will be interesting to see they attempt to run a parallel WRX/Porsche day again. Weather was good, it started bang on time but the number of groups and offs/delays severely impacted track time includi

The organisation from a communication point of view was good with the PA. Also don't think I have ever seen every flag point at Sandown occupied with 1 person, let alone 2! Had a chat with one of the WRX committee guys and can understand their position, wouldn't be easy organising these days and keeping them financially viable. I for one would be happy to pay a higher entry fee if it meant more track time and less entrants.

Got told I was over driving after one of my sessions, don't recall going off the track or displaying any un-sportsman like behaviour but officials word is final so that's that I guess. Was also a bit disappointed to only get 4 sessions as entry was almost as much as the last PI day but you some people cause red flags when "over driving" ;)

But anyway on a positive note, still a good day out with everyone else and glad the weather held out. We got a good turn out with 16 SAU cars entered (was 12 at Calder and 11 at PI), so the social aspect, club putting on a BBQ etc is great to see. Though I don't recall seeing any banners....richo?

Wasn't sure if I was still doing the championship spreadsheet so just did it now. Have guessed some peoples categories based on times so if its wrong let me know.

And for LOL's or state the bleeding obvious, attached racechrono data comparing the prius and RS5. Horsepower is definitely king at Sandown. Lost 3secs on the front, 3.5 on the back and another 1 just on the straights!

Yep, the Skyline has destroyed the top section of the intake gasket.

But it's sporting new inter-cooler piping and a new exhaust to allow for some aero trickery.

So May could be a go for it at Winton.

The flags, well I don't have them any-more...I'll grab one of Dan or Laith.

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.

      Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
