I'm all out of hats now - need to go earn some more.

PS: Blaise - we now have Hard Corey's address and phone number :D

Special mention has to go to a Track Day Virgin - Pete - for breaking a club record.

Previously the club record for the most number of timed laps in a day was held by RUS with 18 timed laps.

Pete - now to be known as Lap Junky - smashed the record with 24 timed laps.

Thats a fair effort. We can all just be glad Gemma wasn't there with the video or else we'd all have to suffer through watching lap after lap of Pete do Winton.

PS - offical times are up at:

Hehe - Lap Junky :D

Pete cracked me up with his 'safety first' approach in the rain - thinking if the back of the car got round the corner first, it would all work out OK :D

Loving this shot of Frank's vapour trail:

Whats all this:

22 50 Peter Blythe Skyline Gtr A 9 1:46.3210 5 0:12.2570

Is there something you are not telling us Pete! B) B)

Not only is that a flying lap time but a Skyline GTR? :D:D

Classic!! Shame we didn't get a visit from Hard Corey. Although we pumped his tyres so much last time I dont know if he will have time for us outside of servicing his new harem!!!

Still there were plenty of new moments. Ash "manwhore" and the offer to do three generations of Benailans just one of em... :) oh, and the death threat levelled at Bec. :D

We also can't forget Adz getting that local guy to do a burn out as he crossed the road, on foot! Seeing a drunk guy doing something resembling the moon walk while some how not falling flat on his face, was priceless.

And Chris's come back to the people across the road as she was yelling abuse, telling us that it was their town and we should shut up.. Chris steps up by telling her to "not forget that we named it so shut up...." she seemed to stop after that... Good work mate

When is the next Winton track day? I have already started sourcing a real set of tires and begun to get the car ready :D Please tell me there is another one this year :)

Nice pics, especially of brisby :D

Phillip island and sandown are the only ones left for this year I think

I should be out there for those with new setup

When is the next Winton track day? I have already started sourcing a real set of tires and begun to get the car ready :D Please tell me there is another one this year :D

The only remaining Club Championship track day for the year is on Sat Oct 8th @ Calder.

However there will be SAU guys attending both Phillip Isalnd on Sat/Sun Sept 24th with PIARC and also Sandown on Sun Oct 23rd with Maserati Club.

I think the only other Winton event will be the December Fun Day - but thats not timed.

I've gone from 2.13 to 2.1 i think this is when i spun out twice and i can see Jamez hidding under the TREE laughing :( .

Then from 1.59 to 1.58 as i'm starting to learn the Track better with my SupperHappySliding Kumo Ventus k02 ( that Jeff reckon i should get the drill out and put some more holes into it for better traction :lol: ) it start to piss down again.

Thanks to Team Wang for organise the motel and everything else, Jamez you ROCK mate. Sad that i couldn't consume much alcohol otherwise i'd have gone down with you guys in style.

Is the boom gate at Benalia still engaging or not LOL? Thanks to Jeff for organize pick up and delivery the Magic juice, ping read only as far as 30 unlike back in PI it read 70.

For those who are thinking or about to get their shocks rebuil, don't even bother, not worth it. I'm starting to do some study into supension set up for my car now, the bloody thing keep steping out. I now learnt that good supension and tyres can out run power.

luckily for Snowie the wrx club does not have breathaliser testing pre-event :(

They don’t need one, you could tell who was wasted and who wasn’t and I do not mean by their driving :)

He was runnig scared, they were doing the picking up...plus the threats of boddily harm if he doesnt call.

And for the record, i cant believe how many ppl have so little fatih in me. I aint that fat, and i have magnificent pecs...so that is obviously not me

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
