Sat 12 May 2007 is a trackday at Barbagallo Raceway, Wanneroo

You need to be a member of WASCC to participate, you need a helmet and a long sleeve top. GTR's especially welcome. Come and give your car a good thrashing without the risk of a multinova!!

This day is a standard tuning day and there are no discounts for SAU members. If you join you will get 1 trackday voucher. Most trackdays are about $55 per day.

Regards

$55, so why do I pay $150 (plus $97/year) for the trackskills nights?

Probably because trackskill need to hire the track etc. If the NO Limits club had more people consistenly then the price will come down. Thats why we want more people to come along and enjoy the event.

WASCC membership (Silver membership) is $210 for the first 12 months (Plus nomination fee of $50 in the first year).

You get:

Free admission to ALL club race meetings including V8s & SuperTrucks. (& drift stuff)

Access to drive on the circuit in your road car at club tuning days for a nominal fee.

Participation in motor sport as a driver.

Minimum level required for CAMS competition eligibility.

Voting rights.

Ability to nominate ONE immediate family member or partner as an Associate Member. *

Ability to nominate Junior Member(s).

Newsletter The Racing Line

Members' Key Ring

Access to McCrackan House at the V8s.

One FREE track hire voucher valued at $55 (not redeemable for cash).

Which is a pretty sweet deal - particularly if you have hung out in McCrackhead house when the V8's are in town & all the plebs are sweltering in the sun - err, like I was. Damn.

Anyway, you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club to get a level 2 license. I think the $12 for the No limits thingo covers it.

Thanks DJR81 for adding all the guff from WASCC.

$250 per year plus

$55 per all day track day session is very cheap compared to say the UK where 1 day at a circuit would cost you more than this offer for a whole year! There are about 3 or 4 trackdays per month throughout the year. I'd love to see a few more GTR's turn up at these trackdays.

Weekdays are generally quieter than Saturdays. On Saturdays, instructors will be on hand to sit with you and point out your crap driving technique. You will realise the lmitations of your car quite quickly!

I'll probably get there about 1-2pm on Sat (I'm busy in the morning). You can come up and have a look - No pressure to join or sign up. Sessions are usually 9am to 4pm.

I have a datalogit and laptop, if you have a power FC I can log some data for you (Bring a memory stick). I have a silver R33 GTR V-Spec Rego : 33 GTR

If your quick you should be able to reach about 220-230kph down the hill :D

Membership runs from Jan to Jan, they usually reduce the price of membership around mid year.

    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
    • I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators. 
    • At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
    • Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
    • In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.
