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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
