Hey guys - just thought I'd post this up here for those that don't search around all the other forums (I'm mean who does!?)

Us Vic guys - being the fastest SAU Club in Oz >_< - have decided to have a Road Trip to NSW to conquer a few new tracks - namely Wakefield and Eastern Creek. Unfortunetly there isn't an opportunity to do this over a weekend so we have found a calander in Novemeber where we can fit these tracks in over the week of November 7-11.

There is already some interest from Bunta and Russ (giant) to come and have a play with us so anyone else interested in coming along is more than welcome. The plan is to mainly meet up with the NSW guys at Wakefield on the Wed as EC can only gaurentee us 30 places for the Friday - so that is being saved for us Vics and any QLD guys interested.

Having said that we already have around 16 guys from Vic on the list coming up - and there are some seriously fast cars coming along too. Since most of you here will know giant - in the last head to head last year with a couple of the guys down here Franks car was over 3s per lap faster than gaints around Winton - and Franks is only the 3rd quickest of the cars coming. So if you are interested please let me know to reserve your spot ASAP.

The full details for the trip are:

1. Tuesday 7th November - Drive to Goulbourn/Wakefield

Accommodation - Wakefield Park Cabins - $50pp/pn - includes breakfast (2 nights)

2. Wednsday - Wakefield Park

Nice plan mate. Bunts & I are in for sho!

This will be a BLAST! Staying at the track was seriously the best! Such a good atmosphere.

Now to call for interest from any interested QLDers. Bunts and I would be looking to leave a few days beforehand, and make a stopover in Coffs Harbour. Kind of evens out the driving then. I would like to stress, however, please only nominate yourself if you are SERIOUS. We don't want to go committing numbers if we can't stick to it. It is a great drive, a nice way to get out and meet other Australian members, and I don't know, as I haven't met the VIC membesr yet, but the NSW members are fab, and I seriously can't express my love for a greater bunch of peeps >_<

So... anyone keen? There is plenty of time to get off work if need be, and work up that holiday pay :)

definitely interested. I've run at Baturst Speed Weekend a couple of times, and I was thinking about doing King Edward Park Hillclimb instead this year, but this looks like a better plan to me! Wakefield and the Creek are tracks I've always wanted to run on, and what better way than with a bunch of other Skylines!

count me in! R32 GTR

the NSW members are fab

(cheques in the mail) :yucky:

Just incase you guys are wondering, YES we will sort out a tv or something for the EC day so you dont miss the V8's - Victoria has asked for this so just letting you guys know :laugh:

Haha - what V8's? Which month are you in??

We missed that event due to lack of spots. Get with the times! :yucky:

Hahaha - shows how much i care about V8supercars

Ok, thats one less thing for NSW to do

I'll be honest and say I guessed. I figued if in doubt pick R33 GTST and I'd have a 99% chance of being correct! LOL

ha ha well you were part right! I own one of them too! But the R32 will be the one making the trip :yucky:

i might be in with another r32 / rb25 hybrid.. its all the rage

Have to check things before I can commit totally. Need a new set of track suitable tyres first I think. I don't want to be come all that way and then be cursing myself for having shitty tyres.

:grouphug: we are fantastic aren't we.

definately worth the trip guys, and staying at Wakefield itself was awesome having everyone together (apart from the lack of water in the mornings but I doubt that'll happen again cos it'll be a bit warmer when you come).

I'll definately be there!

Liz.

That was caused by a broken power pole/line

So yeah, i doubt it will happen again aswel :dry:

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
