I'd defintely be keen. Never been down before, and would rather not go to a day where the track is packed (if thats possible, I doubt it!!)

I'll be waiting for new year though, I don't imagine a stock intercooler likes the heat down there at the moment :blink:

Yeah thats the same for me although as long as your only running stock boost and not doing like 10 laps in a row going all out its not so bad, but very true would be better to wait till the weather cools down. although im starting to get an itchy right foot again.

Also the best day to go down is friday if your going to stay the night, so you get a long weekend and when you get home on saturday you've still got the rest of the weekend....... even if that is reserved for making it up to the girlfriend cause you just spent more money on that STUPID CAR. :D

Some great times guys. I went to the recent Circuit Club day where there is official timing. I didn't take the GT-R. I took my little Mazda MX-5 and got a 1.16 in the time attack (you get one warmup lap then one timed lap then one cooldown lap).

It was a very very hot day so everyone's times were slower for sure. Here's the results:

Embarassed quite a few cars which are potentially much faster my little MX-5 (stock engine of-course!) :(

Went for a spin today at Wakefield Park. A shit load of bikes were there, man some of them are stir fry crazy. :D Track was good, car felt great and passed quite a few, including a Ferrari 360.. :D Surprised a few when they found out it's an auto NA.

Go the Zed, Ports and you have become a Motorsport Nut in last six months since we corrupted you at yoiur first track day there earlier this year.

I went out yesterday to a invitation only Christmass Event run by Gulf Western and lots of nice cars and lots of race cars that looked fast but got in the way a lot and not a lot of track time as there were HEAPs of cars there. Ron ( Wizard) was in it with us in his auto twin turbo zed and looked like fastest road car there. I think driving had a lot to do with it.

I also had the slot car wound up well and did a 1: 6.57. and no V drinking. In car transponer so proper timing not my mate with favourable stop watch he he.

106 now!  I don't know how you do it Ports.  Mine is auto too which is good for surprising people.

Hey Adam

I'm flattered that you have me down for such a low time at WP, but I think you'll find it was another boat, Boosted Zed, that hit 1.06's. I'm still up for 16's. ;)

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
