Ok guys is everyone happy to meet at the Bunnings in Cranbourne, corner South Gipsland Hwy and Thompsons Road at 8pm (Melways Ref 129 H9)?

I suggest we aim for meet up at 8pm leave by 8:30pm.

If people have some little things to do to their cars that they cant get done till Friday night, like fire extinguishers. Just bring everything you need down with you. Their will be plenty of hands and plenty of tools to use.

ferni - Bruce is infact not running. There was an entry form mistake. Maybe if Jack gets off his ass and sends his form in he will take his spot in our group.

Jerermy Bevan - unless he has changed cars recently - will be driving a dark green stock looking 200SX (S14) that you will get upset by when he kicks your ass. Not a SAU member but I remember being beaten by him at Sandown last year when I first started out and thinking WTF??? As mentioned it LOOKS completely stock. Even has the stock (aka POX) S14 rims on it still. He used to run in the MSCA track events. If he's in the 200SX he was lapping the Island last year in the 1.53's. Ultimate track sleeper.

1.53 in a 200sx hey, damn, if he's running semi-slicks he doesn't count :) or give me a ~3second headstart heh. Whats he running that makes it so quick?

Hey ferni...unfortunately the anthony in your group isn't me......I'm in Roys group again. Oh and if the Mx5 in your group is an orange one he might be keeping you all honest :)

Chris.....I'll be meeting up with you guys at bunnings....8pm with 8:30 leave is fine by me.

Well now this Chris has driven my car he knows my pain in trying to get a good lap time out of it:)

8pm meet up sounds good, and Ant, i left a message with my brother, ill touch base once i hear back from him.

...and last thing, come on Ferni, your in a GTR with AWD, with TT and GTR badges. It doesnt matter what tyres you have

I've had a major set back with my car. As some of you know I ordered a 400r Copy, which was actually for a GTST. I sent it back to NSW and got a Jun Style bar sent back. I went to fit it last night and the mould is just crap. It's bowed in the middle and leaves a 15mm gap between the headlights and the bar, no matter how hard I push it up.

I'm calling the head scutineer now to see if I can run on Saturday without a front bar.

For Aaron and Koah,

Extinguisher Mounts in my car.

First on the drivers side rear seat you can see the seat bolt I am talking about. However - we normally mount them on the passenger side as you can see. Unscrew the seat bolt and put it through the mount and bolt it back in (you will have to drill out the hole on the mount a little to fit the seat bolt through the hole). Then clip the extinguisher in and Bob's you uncle.

The same turbo gold/orange MX5 at Calder that was running 2seconds slower than me at Calder ? :cheers:

Dont mean to nag people, but are you all abel to confirm if you are intending on staying any of the 3 nights. Neither Snowie or I are able to cancel the rental accom we have arranged, but i can cancel as long as i pay a cencellation fee. If there is only going to be 3 people in my place then that works out to be a fair sum of coinage so will mean im better paying the cancellation fee and getting some money refunded.

At the moment my understanding is that:

- Ant95GTR + 1

- Roy

- West

- skyline_geoff

So with only 5 people for what nights i dont know. But its $140 per night

Possibly

- Emre, may stay with Andrew?

If it's too late then i'll stay saturday night as well but definately i'm heading home on sunday morning. Hope i won't be crusing home alone co's i'll be fcuking bore :wassup: .

Car got a "its a bit of crap but its going alright" report from the Dr:) But hey, its my peice of crap:) LOL... was again a bit smokey today and my AVCR is now truly dead, so out it comes before Saturday:)

LOL. Scotsman will get to drive it before me so he can give me the heads up regarding the type of weekend im going to have.

Finally i should be able to get a decent day at the track with 230rwkws:thumbsup:

Andrew - Faxed the form off first thing this morning, my fax machine at home was playing up so the missus had to do it at work.... Should be on the list by tomorrow...hopefully....

Its gonna be 30 degrees on Saturday so the track should be nice and sticky for all you schumacher's (Snowman/Chris), don't think it would make a difference to me as I'll be just strolling along.....

I seem to have gotten number 47. Its a gtst auto so nothing to fear. I feel i should be in a more handicapped group.

I will be going down quite late, like 9pm, with some friends who are putting me up.

Robin - if you read this it's Midnight TONIGHT (I said Thursday) thats the cut-off. So if you send it in today it should all be sweet. PS - is it Robin Feburary?

Looking at the list there was about 15 spots left.

But great to see we got some late entries in! Brings us up to 17 club members which is a great effort. It's going to be a good weekend. Couldn't ask for better weather either.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
