well it looks like i will be able to make it. i've been able to move forward one of the interviews to this afternoon.

now i better get my sh1t ready tonight. if not, who wants to help bleed my brakes at the track? :(

BB,

Good news, I happy to push the brake pedal for you if needed.

All lit looks like we will have 5 on the day.

Myself, BB, AZZR32, yogi and Ralph (S15 Friend).

Lets have some fun, reguardless of the weather!

not long to go now. it looks like i may be able to get done the stuff i need to do tonight. If not, I may take you up on that offer paul :(

what time is scrutineering?

well i just finished what i wanted to do. I've bled the brakes. checked the oil etc and even installed my new castor rods. I don't have time for a wheel allignment so i just did it by eye/feel. I think the castor may not be quite even, but i did measure them pretty accurately. It feels heaps better. much sharper turn in, and the wheel self centres quite aggressively. steering is quite a bit heavier, but it's certainly bareable.

hmm, i had better get some sleep, i may be a little late fellas (9:30 ish) apparently there is no scrutineering though so it shouldn't be a problem. :angry:

see you boys at the track!

WTF I thought I heard Skylines today while I was at work but I couldn't figure out why. I work right near Eastern Creek and went outside and thought I heard a GTR, then I heard more of them and so I was wondering what was going on. Glad I'm not imagining things...

Im interested in the 29th - is anyone going to that one???

It will be my first time on the Eastern Creek track, from the map on the website it looks like a lot of fun

Can you apply for the licence at the track ?

I had a mate go today, in his Camaro... did you guys see it? :(

Anyway hopefully it was a good day, I heard that an Evo8 rolled it?

yeah i saw it. black one. looked nice as i went past it hehe :(

yeah a few cars were coming off. track was pretty green after the rain earlier in the week.

Except for Yogi's little incidednt in the first 5 min, it was a good day (Just goes to show crap tyres have no place on a race track). Accidents and hold ups did make for a long day and not enough drive time in my mind, but again thats the worst thing about these days, they take their time to clean the track after incidents and with that many race team there are bound to be a few spin off's.

No pics and no lap times but Im sure every had a great time. I think we got ralph hooked on drive days as well.

So I take it you guys had more fun than all other Sydneysiders on Saturday.

N1GTR,,,you can sign up on the day but it'd a little trickie. The ARDC and CAMs don't like us doing it and I can't guarantee you'll be allowed.Why not download the form from cams and send it in. Theres still time buddy.

I'm up for the 29th,EC diffs now in,gearbox is repaired and rear suspension has been freshened up.

Neil.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
