Thanks !! Looks like I'll be down for the Winton one in July rather than Sandown. Its not as far to travel (only 9 or 10 hours ), and I hope tp catch up with a few Victorian Datsun 1600 owners who are planning on entering.

Can anyone enlighten me on the "in Victoria" bit of the section of the Supp Regs quoted below ? I'm thinking of coming down from NSW, am a member of two CAMS affiliated clubs in NSW, and hold an L2S licence with one of those clubs. Surely I don't need to join a Victorian club as well ? I emailed the "motorsport" address listed on the website of the WRX club a fortnight ago with the same question but haven't yet received a reply. All drivers must hold a current CAMS Level 2S licence or higher and be a financial member of a Club affiliated with CAMS in Victoria.

He took turn 3 a bit too "tight" and clipped the kerb on the inside of the corner, which just flipped him over. Only times I've ever felt close to having a big "moment" was clipping the kerbs coming into the fishhook and the corner coming onto the straight. Moral - stay away from the kerbs !! Ripple strips on the way out of corners don't hurt, just the kerbs on the inside of some corners. Here's the best "guide" I've seen - Lap of Wakefield Park As mentioned above numerous times, take it easy and try to keep it "clean". I always find that my 2nd or 3rd laps are the quickest in each session. After that, I try to go faster but end up with slower times. Still can't help myself though Depends on who's organising the day, but often they have a session at the start for "newcomers" to learn the track. If you can grab an experienced driver, stick them in the passenger seat to show you the correct lines in this initial session. My last bit of advice is to try and get your seatbelt "locked" to hold you in nice and tight. Hard to describe, and I haven't been in an R32 to see how it would work in one, but try pushing yourself back hard into the seat, then pull sharply on the seatbelt to get it to "lock" and hold you in the seat. Its much easier to drive without having to worry about sliding around in the seat.

Hi guys, I'm a long time lurker here just looking for parts for my Datsun 180B SSS project. Since it will be supercharged via an Eaton M45, I thought I'd add my 2c here. I'm using the bypass valve off the Mini Cooper S. Its reasonably priced (~$125 from your local BMW dealer) and is specifically designed for the job of acting as a supercharger bypass valve. Not sure about whether it'll be suitable in a twincharge setup ?? It may also possibly be a bit small for an RB, as I'm only using a little L18 engine.It has a bore of 35mm. Just thought it may be worth looking at. Dave

I don't know if they do compliancing, but Denstoj Auto Centre in Arnott St, Newcastle West always have Skylines, Silvias, etc, etc in the workshop and outside on the street (both customer's cars and employee's cars), plus a few half cuts and stuff out the back. I work around the corner and walk past every day, but have only ever used them for pink slips. Might be worth a phone call (49261718). If they don't do it, they can probably point you to someone who can. Dave
