Okay fine, entered for Sunday. You all had very convincing arguments. Looking at the entry list, I will most definitely be holding up traffic. My car has also just got slower, took out the tune, lost 12rwkw which makes it go from slow to slooooooooooooow. Sorry, and my bad in advance.

Put me down for food Saturday and Sunday Ash, I think I'll head down on Friday and make a long weekend out of it :)

Haha good work Juliette :thumbsup:

Nah, it was occasionally throwing CELs and putting the car into limp mode so I cracked it and ripped it out. Might do it again with a different ECU and tuner at a later date when more mods would make it more worthwhile.

Hey guys, Im a new member this year and I was thinking about coming down for the Saturday to learn the track, I have a stock r33 gtr v-spec what are your thoughts on how the car would perform, is it critical that I do such things as upgrade the oil cooler?

I wouldnt say its esstential, but you won't be able to do as many laps before the oil temps get pretty hot

As long as you have an oil temp gauge to monitor your temps you'll be fine

As a guide on my stock GTT no oil cooler i got about 4 laps at Sandown before oil temps got above 120c

1. Ensure you have oil temp gauge.

2. Ensure you over fill the sump by 1 Litre before attempting track duties.

3. Ensure all other fluids are topped up and good to go

4. If brakes are under 30% pad, fix that up.

5. Ensure you READ the supp regs and sort things out like Fire Extinguisher, Battery point markers etc.

Otherwise you should be good to go. Long term it would be a good idea to sort an oil cooler and pay some attention to better brakes if you've not done half decent pads/rotors as at tracks like Winton you're gonna have a tough time.

There is sooooo much experience in the SAU-Vic track group, it's the best place to come if you want to do some laps in a Nissan. And if there isn't someone that can't answer your questions or help you out, then you've got something really wrong and should probably start worrying :P hahaha

Most all though remember to have fun as that's what it's all about. There are no heros at our events, just a bloody good bunch of guys so make sure you find the banners and come say a g'day.

It's not an SAU track day without people scrambling to add upgrades and put their car back together in time :D I'll see you guys at a few rounds this year hopefully... won't be at PI though.

sure sure, you said that last year, year b4 and I think maybe the one prior to that...(or was that turbo gasket year)

Ha! you're one to talk Martin...

car saw the track briefly last year, a few early the year b4.

Entered our Motokana this year and waiting for the SAU sandown entries to open...

so to quote this dude who used to turn up to track days

cool story bro.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
