Shell = Corner of GWH and Brabham Cr. (entry road into Eastern Creek which goes under the M4).

Gate = Yup gate 7 around the back (follow Brabham Cr around the track until you get to the back).

I think that's why they invented Nitros Oxide. When you get a little board you push the button and fill your undies and that's enough to tied you over.

If you think you're complacent with the performance now, wait until you've got the hang of the track and decide to chase down some arrogant tosser in a Ferrari :D

Thats what i spent the 3rd session doing. I had him on the straight up until i was 190km/h speed limited. He had me alittle from Turn 2-7 although he made me boil my brake fluid so not happy jan.

With my new tyres i'd eat him without a problem.

I've actually got footage of me sling-shotting past the 328GTS after turn 6 when his tyres started going off and he couldn't hold his line. AZENIS vs. PIRELLI ( AZENIS WINS ! )

Well guys I must appoligise... this day has snuck up on me and I have been a bit slack. I will be at the track from 7:30am... and yes I will be on time and no I don't know if I'll be driving...

I would suggest that you all try to arrive between 7:30 and 8 am as it takes time to fill out forms and then once all that is done I have to get final payments of $130 off everyone and also go and spend approx. 20 mins going through the paperwork etc. so that leads us up to the drivers briefing @ 8:30am.

Thanks to all those guys that have been answering the questions put forward.

The forcast is for rain tomorrow and Tracey has said that the day WILL be on regardless of the weather. Remember it take alot of rain to really soak a track these days.

Anyway,

See you all tomorrow morning.

Dan.

At the risk of being serious for a moment, cheater tyres are a HGE handful in the wet. Leave em at home I say.

They still have high threshold, and let go as you'd expect, the surprise comes when they regain grip when you least expect it - and you go spearing off into the undergrowth.

I think Roy saw my idea of drifting with cheater tyres on down @ wakefield one day - about 7 spins in 3 sessions :bahaha:

If your filming and I'm driving in the arvo can we see if we can get a shot out the back window of my car as I drift away some tyres?

shit yes.

i'll bring my camera mount for the back window.

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
