It's the second last track day this year at Symmons.

$85 entry.

Should be a great day, Plenty of action and heaps of runs.

Everything from Porsche's to SR20 Powered Preludes to 59second GTR's to STI's and EVO's.

For more information visit http://www.nwcctas.org.au/ or PM me.

I challenge anybody to run a 1:05.73 or better in a RWD Skyline.

clutch finally died, and the diff is stuffed. so i've got the car on the hoist and dropping the engine out. And i'll get a tomei baffle kit for the sump and install it while it's out. And i'm gunna get ajustible upper arms at the same time, otherwise i'll just distroy my tyres.

Looks liek you got a fair bit of work ahead of you then. i loccked my rear diff on saturday. Just gotta get my car ready this week befause i go to Hong Kong and Vietnaim for a couple of weeks and get back the day before the track day.

Has anyone seen the red R32 gtst with GTR gaurds, bonnet and 25 that runs around the track lately? Last i saw of it was just after it was tuned, made 330ish i think but that was well over a year ago. Think it used to do 63's but would expect it to go alot quicker now. Everyone will see Brett O'shea's VH commodore back out there soon, wants to get under the minute mark. Did 61's aspirated with 315rwkw, just fitted a blower so that should be interesting.

the red R32 killed it's gearbox in the first race of the first round of the TSS at Baskerville Feb this year. It's waiting the arrival of a six speed sequential gearbox from Hollinger. will be back competing in the TSS for 08.

Oh ok. Think from memory it ran a VL turbo box, didnt think it would hold up for ever. Yeah it had a few stickers on it. When i worked at Pride Autos it was down at Driveshaft City for ages getting the engine rebuilt, with all these goodies it should easily see 60's. I wonder if Cooper will have the torana out there, still havent seen it on the track yet but apparerently its doing mid 60's aswell. Everything seems to be getting quicker....

I think you are talking about Bill Fultons 32. He is already doing 60 at Basky

Yeah think he made that number on elf though, either way it would still be a fun car. Whats the plan for your diff? Spending the dollars or doing the cheap fix? Did you end up getting a bigger master cylinder to overcome the long pedal after travis fitted the big brakes?

i am yet to see it but am keen to. a mate of mine made the carbon fiber door skins for it.

looks like the TSS will be pretty huge next year. i know at least one person that will more than likely run in all of them next year. one other that has a car almost complete but that may not get there till half way through the season and if gesty runs they will have to make a skyline class of its own. haha.

i thought he was a rep for dunlop as most guys on here get there tyres of him.

I've got a Nismo clutch pack kit for it, put's better & extra clutches in, and people that have used it said it's pretty close to a nismo pro diff but better to drive.

I havn't got round to fixing the master cylinder, i've just got used to touching the brake with the left foot at the end of the straights. I do need to replace my pads though :)

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
