No sweat, Turn off the highway into Champion's Way follow it about a km past the drag strip curve right and into the track stop near the control tower and look around. You'll see all the cars in the pits to the right of the control tower

BIG THANKS TO PAUL (GTRman) for an AWESOME day.. very well planned and everything went great. Can't wait for the next one!

Unbelievable value for what you got out of it. I've got about 70 photos of the day and a few videos. Good to see Beau and Jay out there as well.

Best lap time of the day was 1:18.55... Happy with that seeing as it was only 3-10 seconds off some much faster cars. Next time thankfully I'll have something that should be a bit closer :)

And if I can get out there in my cheap ass, and near stock R31 with some 330,000km on the clock, and auto at that.. and thrash the pants off it with it all staying in one piece at the end of the day, nobody else has *any* excuses :wassup: ..

Yeah, looked like a lot of fun out there, looking forward to next time so I can get my R33 out on the track.

Good to put some faces to the names as well.

How wicked was that SLK V8 Merc!!!!

GTR's were nice as well.

Yeah, the merc sounded mean.. and that cobra as well with that 4xx c.u v8!

Large number of skylines there.

You'll have to get out there next time, now you know what its all about :) I was a bit nervous at first but found its not too difficult to really fang it, and also not too difficult to follow all the rules properly regarding passing (well in my case letting everybody pass me!), etc :rant:

I've uploaded my photos here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/photopost...500&ppuser=1332

How much fun was that?!!!

Got some great video of jaqule having lots of fun on the last corner. Some loud gtrs running around, nice wrxs and of course the merc. (got a good looking burnout from him as well)

Thanks to jay for letting me use the jack etc... really appreciate it.

Once I sort something out could anybody host some clips?

cheers, Mark

    • 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.  
    • 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) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
