As above, you require a L2S licence, and depending on numbers ill be able to arrange for free accomodation for us with friends and family in Sydney.

You get plenty of track time, and days are not usually too busy.

Ill be heading up on the Thursday and most likely spending the Fri/Sat playing up in Sydney, trhen heading back on the Sunday...perhaps earlier if i can swing a day at Wakefield or Winton on the way up/back

Didn't you blow your car up Troy ?? What's doing ?

LOL..had a few problems, but skyline_geoff was champion enough to help me out with garage space and buzz words like "it aint so bad...stop dribbling and work":)

So a few weekends of the old manual labour and she was back running, better then ever.

Actually the better then ever comes courtesy of Scotsman steering me in the right direction and RPMGTR getting the engine/tune on song after the little old electrical fire, then the AVCR brain fart:(

But for the time being the ca has never ran so strongly:) Hence me wanting to get back to some of the NSW tracks and A) see the time difference from the mods, B) See if my driving is improving as i have now driven on a larger cross section of track types.

As for Wakefield, i was going to do the UAS day, but if there is an open day on Saturday after EC, then it owudl be more convenient to do it on the way back to Vic

OK great news.

There is a round of the NSW supersprint champs on at Oran Park on Sunday 17/5, so if you can make it up for a weekend it will be a great one.

Oran Park GP is by far the best track in NSW, great fun and a real challenge.

Details are on the NSWRRC website here: http://nswrrc.com/ss-rnd2.html

You will need a L2S CAMS license for the day, full details are in the Supp Regs.

Well im heading up to Sydney this weekend, probably Sunday morning.

EC is easy on brakes with only 1 big stop for turn 2, about 210-220 back to about 75km/h so will make do with a new set of pads. Found my boost leak, it was a split rubber elbow, smallest of bloody, silly splits, but that bit of IC pipe needs replacing anyway...so anyone keen for the drive up this weekend...also there is a spring at Oran Park, but im guessign entries may be full by now.

    • 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
