What a GREAT weekend, one of the best on record! The only down side was the unfortunate damage to Troy's car. The Victorian circuit Gods are cutting him no slack :(, or maybe his car is just home sick and refusing to co-operate. Was really disappointed to hear of you mishap, hope all will work out nest time.

On the other hand, my car (and myself) performed beyond my own expectations, for a offical track newbie. Personally i think these fun days are possibly more dangerous than the offical CAMS events. Don't get me wrong, i really had the time of my life, but you get some dlcks in the beaten up pieces of shlt, trying to prove a feeble point and going beyong the capabilites of their cars. Or you get some a55holes who have specially set track cars, treating it as the Bathurst, and cuting you off, pushing your car to the outside, etc. At times i just had too much to loose so i just slowed down and let them pass.

Most the time everything was cool, my tyres kept a great grib to the track, but i still managed to do more than a few 4 wheel power slides :). The suspension preformed remarkably, but will be speaking to Centreline to see if i could dial out some of the understeer, not sure if i can because at times i was getting oversteer.

Meet a few more new faces today, sorry if i didn't socialise much :(, just too hectic trying to fit all things in. Hope to catch up again soon.

BIG thank-you to Bec and Chris for organising the cruise up and some "modern" accommodation. Thanks to all Wang members :D, who made the night b4 an unforgetable one and to Adz for cooking up a mean barbie :)

PS: Photos from both days would be great, so don't be shy and post 'em up :D.

And dont mean to be a tight a55, but in light of what happened today, i may have to hit you guys up for some coin for the booz i bought, all up it was $110-120...it looks to have been an expensive weekend:) i hoped that the booz covered my share of the BBQ?

The old Motor Inn went off on Saturday, ill post up some pics later...im amazed those old ladies didnt abuse me when i kept walking into their room instead of ours:alcoholic:

:flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed: :flamed:

Geeez if you ever want to give me your car Adz.. niiiiiiiice.

Troy I think you & your car are just getting too old for the track :) Seems like it's not meant to be :) (joking)

So whats the tally on the damage? Need -another- engine??! :D

We were thinking of cruising up this morning... but since we didn't get home til 12 last night, there was no way we were going to be on the Hume at 7odd :D

Troy wheres the 'action' shots?

edit: Nevermind, there they are!

Troy: Michael says "now a dodgy seal on your caliper is the least of your worries" :)

Lucky that Michaels car is sorted now, so he has his weekends free..

He also said something about 'a whole new meaning to the phrase - drive it like you stole it'.. :)

Anyway glad the car didn't blow up/interior catch fire etc & you're alright.

oh no Troy what happened?!!?

story please...

Bloody terrorists:) I think i ran over a land mine:(

The bonnet lining either dropped down and touched the turbo, or it got so hot that it caught fire. So another freakish fark up has kicked me in the boss cags:)

But if you want to know what really happened...well at a certain speed there is so much friction / heat from the air that things can get red hot, sometimes even ignite...ever seen a space shuttle on re-entry, well same thing with my R32 down the straights:)

Yeeeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! Suck piss and torch cars:thumbsup:

And the most important thing about a Team Wang weekend...

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
