Its a bid sad i have to leave a car like ours at home and not put on a show for you guys at these private track hire days.

There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that they are trying to discourage these days as much as possible. You should see some of the other ridiculous rules they have.

First time on the strip with my car

60'...1.882

ET...13.216 @ 103.18mph

Good 60' and ET Joe. MPH is lower than I expected. Definitely more in it with some practice. Sorry I could be there for coaching.

I think an open letter to the Minister for Sport and Education and also a copy sent to the Roads Minister may be required. This facility's use is being governed by a management who seem to want to restrict the amount of use by road registered vehicles. When the funding for this facility was granted by the Carr government (Morris Iemma was the minister involved at the time) one of the statements made was that it will take the racing off the streets and put it on the track where it should be. They want the police to "crack down" in illegal street racing, but they make the facility that will cater for this, out of reach of the common people (big $$ race teams never have issues with hiring the track).

Well MPH would have been higher but my standard rubber tube going from the AFM to the inlet of the turbo was not strong enough to handle the heat and the flow of air, it was collapsing :thumbsup: , and the car would just die until it opened up again. So until i get a stronger pipe I'll be able to go flat chat. And yes definatly more in it :blink:

Do the v8 clubs have as many issues as the turbo clubs do? Because WSID staff are quite anti-turbo imo.

In the beginning we had terrible problems, its slowly getting better. I heard that some of the existing rules may be relaxed a little in the near future.

Most recently we have had no problems what so ever with WSID.

The only real complaint that i have is the 11.00 sec cut-off, i would love to see it at 10.00 secs if the car & driver are appropriately licensed. throw a turbo kit or nos on a commodore & you are straight away running 10's.

The cost for the day is somewhat prohibitive for some willing drivers, especially the younger drivers.

Cheers,

V8Owner

      Fuel Flow Regulator Hose Restrictors

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      As a general rule removing rubber fuel hose is so difficult I would replace it if it hasn't been done in the last 5 years. The risk you damage the liner or one of the inner layers is pretty high if it's not almost brand new. BMW's recommendations around coolant hoses is similar. My R33's fuel hoses at the fuel tank were so perished that they were ready to burst FYI.

      Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      By alexburns · Posted

      https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au
