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 ;)

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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
