Anyone up for a road trip? We'd love to see if those big talking Vic GTRs can go quick north of the border as well :D

SAU NSW are running a track day at Wakefield Park in Goulburn on Sat 19 March. Perfect for a road trip, head up on Friday afternoon and a leisurely cruise home on Sunday ;)

Duncan - if a) You give me some decent notice and B) You have one at Eastern Creek I would love to come up there.

I just can't get excited about driving that distance for Wakefield.

Wakefield is a top track, much more flowing then Winton. Its actually way better then Winton and Calder. It would be worht the trip there and back if you can get them tim eoff work to do it.

But be warned, 600hp GTRs are kept honest by well sorted little S13s here, sometimes only being 1-2 seconds slower:)

Exactly - Wakefield sounds like a gay place to bring a GTR.

Eastern Creek sounds like somewhere I could have some fun.

And for the record - I wouldn't suggest for people to drive from NSW to come to either Calder or Winton. I'd only suggest the drive for Sandown or better still Phillip Island! :rant:

It would be about a 6-7 hr drive as its exactly 200kms south from my house in Sydney.

And its not a gay place for a GTR, i actually like the track better then Eastern Creek. Its got a good mix of corners and a tricky braking area, where if you get the exit lien right you can hook out of there, get it wrong you struggle for the next 75m trying to get the car on line for the long left hander and quick right hander onto the back straight...top little track:)

Wakefield is much better than eastern creek you big vic girls :)

Eastern Creek is just a drag strip connected by some 180o turns, a bit like phillip island...

Wreckedhead, yes you can just turn up on the day, but if you do we can't guarantee a place. If you want a guaranteed place, you will need to book first.

    • So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again. 
    • Doing it this weekend. For sure this time. Thank you forum gods.  And im running map sensor now with the haltech. Still have the AFMs attached to the mushroom dome shaped air filter things
    • Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
