Also, check the 'Hill Climb Sup Regs' PDF link on the left menu for more info.

I think the address is:

Collingrove Hill Climb

Lot 100, Hill Climb Road

Angaston Rural

This is where the WRX club use to have one of their track events, wish SA had an official SAU club.

Hillclimb - cool! I opened the Hillclimb Pdf, that indicates the Hillclimb to be on the following weekend 12 June 2005.. is that a second climb or the actual date? Let us know as I'm quite keen too

oops sorry, didnt check the dates there. The one 'jager' was referring to is this one - http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...showtopic=91758

The track is 7kms SE of Angaston on the Angaston to Eden Valley Rd, if you get lost Im sure the locals in the Barossa can direct you.

OK, from town the easiest way is as follows.

1. Go straight up Main North Road

2. Go around the Gawler Bypass and keep heading along the Sturt Highway towards Nuriootpa.

3. You will come to a fairly major turn off to Tanunda on your RIGHT, via Gomersal Road (possibly Highway). Take this all the way to the end.

4. At the end turn LEFT onto the main street of Tanunda.

5. Continue down the street through Tanunda untill you come to a S-bend/railway crossing and turn RIGHT at the SECOND Road. (you want the one that is almost directly ahead, not the one back towards Tanunda)

6. Follow this road for a while ignore the first sign to Angaston(I've oly been that way at night so i don't really know it.) go over a train crossing and past the VINPAC factory on your right.

7. You will come to a cross intersection with a sign saying Angaston to the RIGHT , follow that. This will take you up the Main street.

8. When you reach the end of the main street you must turn RIGHT.

9. Follow this road past the Collingrove Homested, keep going untill you see a sign for the Collingrove Hillclimb on the left. Turn down the dirt road immediatly after the sign.

The gate to get in, is on the left, By this time you should have a pretty good idea of what's going on!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
