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. ;)

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
