Mallala is running this track day, anyone can go....... Pay the coin get the wrist band and away you go, No scruitineering(sp)

We will be out IP Celica(engine in tonight), Falcon Saloon Car(hopefully) and a mate in his Rx4!!

saw the celica coming back on the way out to the city last night

No but he drove like a wanker, overtaking on corners and stuff. He did race in the CAMS license holders group, but its a practise day, no need to show ur fully sick skillz.

Luke, no tyre fitter unfortunately.

Was a wicked day - ran a 1:17:01 as the quickest, and no matter what I did I couldn't crack a 16!!! Was great to get back on the track again - Dstroy did really well to keep that beast on the circuit with all the sliding around you were getting!!!!!!

Very nice time Andrew...you are doing very well.

Car looks very nice too

saw the celica coming back on the way out to the city last night

Yeh mate i was in the car........

Andrew what happend to the GTR?? Saw you guys push it out the back of the pits and leave it there!!

How much boost you running?? Car looked quick out there!! We were having oil issues all day, You should chuck a restrictor and a weld in cage and come race with us in IPRA.......

Andrew had some funny noises coming from his engine, so out it comes :D

Yep under no strain whatsoever (I was following my mates WRX to get some video footage from behind his car) it developed a ticking type noise in the engine. I thought initially it was one of my brake ducts working loose and rubing on my rim spokes - but it wasn't so I went for the precautionary shutdown and did the 'walk of shame' pushing the car back to the pits :D Sounds to me like it is a head related noise of some description - but I haven't ruled out something a little more involved......it is a GTR after all! I'll get into it early this week and see what I find.......

Sorry to hear Andy :D

BTW how much does your car weight atm? How useful is the larger spoiler at Mallala?

The car is std weight still - in fact probably heavier than stock with the cage and extra coolers and oil on board. Running the spoiler on the rear seems to have settled the slide tendancy on the dog leg on the back straight. I want to aid canards to the front too - just trying to find someone who does them. I don't pretend to be such a great driver that the whole aero thing makes a huge difference - but it makes sense to me that it can't hurt and must be doing something to help out.

    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

    • lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit. 
    • That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?
    • Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
