Did anyone end up going to this?

I wasn't going to go but a mate of mine called me up this morning wanting to go. I gave the GTR a bit of a blast on a couple of hot lap sessions which was a bit of fun, haven't take the R on the track till today. Didn't look like a bad turnout with a lot of different things going on and actual events that people could go in.

Should've mad this an event on my calender. Oh well, there is always next year.

P.S. If anyone did go.......did anyone get any pics, I forgot my camera....:oops

Yeah, went out there with the idea of taking it easy as I haven't modified the sump yet (new sump is sitting on my lounge room floor) but the minute I got out there I couldn't help myself. Was fun, but the brakes are a bit sad now......oh well, yet another thing to upgrade.....

Erin did ask if some people wanted to be in a club stand but there was limited intrest so there was no SAU stand there, maybe next year :cheers:

I wanted to go for the burnout comps, but really want to get my bar and skirts painted so saving up for that to get done is the priority atm ;)

Sounds like it was fun though!

Hey guys it's a wicked event, I went to Powercruise last year too so as soon as we found out a replacement event had been organised for QR again this year we were there!

I went down with our group from Hervey Bay (400km drive) for the whole weekend arriving Friday 7am in the morning so we could get a good campsite. They weren't going to but they let us run around the track that afternoon for two hours!!

I took the GTR around for the hot laps after having only just finished tuning it for 1bar on standard turbo's at 9pm thursday night (I never leave anything till the last minute!! hehe) and well wasn't doing too bad save for the f**ked falken azenis tyres I was running on with too much pressure as instructed at the drivers briefing - 40psi hmph! I'll stick to 34/32psi next time.

Anyway coming up the front straight in lap 4 one turbo cried ENOUGH! ... oh well at least it made 329.1rwhp earlier that day... Which leads me to my next question... anyone got a standard R32GTR turbo they wanna sell?!

I disconnected the wastegate actuator on the good turbo so I wouldn't stuff it as well on the way home. Drove it home last night with no boost :Oops: Damn what a slug! I even lost a race to our support vehicle - a turbo diesel patrol! :cheers:

I've got a few pics might post them later today... Anyone else on the forums go?

Sorry I couldn't post pics guys as it turns out we didn't take nearly as many as I thought; but here's a quick vid that was taken by one of the guys from our campsite. It shows fullysic running a WRX.... don't know if he beat it, as it looks like a close run...

Maybe fullysic can tell us if he did paste the WRX...? :kick:

Enjoy. MPG video here (zipped)

i heard that cops set up a defect station just outside towards the end of cruzetime??

truth?????

probly.........they usually do it for jamboree and everything as well....WAY TO GO COPS, great way to encourage ppl to go to the track, your gaurenteed some gay defect the minute you leave. They should say something like, "thanks for not illegaly street racing, however as we havent been able to fine you for that we're going to have to make it up on defects, please pull into the bay and prepare for mass rapage!"

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
