You wont be on your own... im not too proud to admit im sticking with the RB20, then i have something to blame when im slow :Oops:

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)

Nice to meet you Duncan. Just chopped this up for you...

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.

24/10 - Maserati Car Clab

Phillip Island

13-14/11 - PIARC Weekend

These are my revised dates that i will be trying to make. :)

Perhaps with a Friday Winton thrown in at a date convenient to a few others

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?

:)

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
