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.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
