Ok speed racers.

Here's the scoup. Karyn has emailed me a copy of the HSV entry form. FYI the cost of the day is a reasonable $110 and consists of a practise session (passengers allowed), 3 timed lap sessions of 3 flying laps, followed by 3 "Super Sprints" of 5 laps where you will be handicapped according to the morning timed lap sessions.

All in all sounds really cool.

Unfortunately - I then rang Chris - the event co-ordinator - about how many spots where left. He tells me there is only 3 or 4 left. (they only run a field of 72 - compared to PIARC that run a field of 120!)

Not sure what we want to do on this now? As I said - I have the entry form if anyone is really keen to go. My phone call with Chris was difficult as it was on his mobile and he had bad reception so I might send him an email and ask whether there will be room for say 8 more (they might be happy to increase the field size - although there may be some CAMS related issues with that - I'm not sure)

Andrew, ask him for a larger field as the chase sprints are huge fun. Have to try to catch the guy in front who is trying to catch the next guy and so on .......

Im going to curb my enthusiasm and give my car 3-4 weeks of day to day driving to iron out any possible probs after all the work has been done. Will also give me the time and opportunity to get the thing tuned 100% and lean on the old girl a little in the hp stakes.

So enjoy, i may be down to film, spectate, whore rides with others...but will see.

I'll direct this question to roy.

When you rented the echo for the track day how much did it cost and was there a km limit that you could do?

Were there any other good cars to rent for a reasonable price?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
