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

I have to stop giving them away to barmaids...

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

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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
