If you would like an example of a good events calendar, have a look at www.wscc.org.au the Wollongong sporting car club. It would be good to be able to plan the year ahead. We may get more people at events if they knew what was coming up.

Nulon Nationals is a Team based competition. That SAUNSW won last year

34GeeTeeTee is the club executive who handles the clubs entry.

Team members are chosen that will best represent the club at each round.

This round has been filled, the future rounds will be Hillclimb, Trackday and Drag.

Nulon nationals on the 17th ( 2 days time ), where is the entry for that ?

I wanted to do the trackschool last weekend but wasn't ready, would love to have a go at nulon nations since at SMSP :)

Team has been filled for most events mate... Might be an opening for Buladelah if you are keen?

I was hoping to try doing hillclimbs this year so this will be good as any for a first try, put me down

May even have my sequential with transfer mod in by then :)

Any spots left for anything else put me in, car is built to do everything

The other events are full unfortunately, i will see how we go with Buladelah and let you know.

It is wide and open and a good road... Unfortunately weather didnt allow us to have a decent run last year, so hopefully we make up for it this year.

If you are interested in doing a Hillclimb then you should look at the Huntley Hillclimb that Wollongong sports car club are putting on, on 1/2/15. I've entered it might see you there.

Huntley hillclimb, got details ?

Might be a go :)

Yeah let me know how you go and if any spots open up for what ever reason keep me in mind :D

Been watching YouTube clips of the event, looks like a good open fast corse

RB30 bottom end count as highly modified :D

Just did license online, very easy if you already have or have had a CAMs license, took less then 5 mins, most of the forms where already filled out :)

Better check if my club membership is up to date :/

Will there be someone there tomorrow night or Saturday that can take care of that ?

Hey mate, I have done my licence and filled out the entry form for the hillclimb but can't for the life of me figure out where to send it, do I send it snail mail to the address on the form or is there a email address I can send it to

send all your entry and payment forms( and copy of your payment say from direct deposit) to the event secretary: [email protected]

0423 189 679 Chris fraser if you need to get in contact with him to check anything else if you need to.

There is a 2015 supplementary form with his contact details, bank account details for money transfer etc, you should have that?

hope that helps

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
