Hi,

For anyone who is interested, the GTI-R Owners Club (Australian Chapter) is holding a track day at Wakefield Park, to be held on Tuesday 16 September.

The day is primarily for GTI-R owners to test their cars on the track, but as we are a small club we would welcome SAU members (or anyone) who would like to come. For the day to be fun (not too many cars) but affordable we have limited places to 35 participants. This makes the cost $50 each :D

Be aware that to drive you will either need a cams licence or a "wakefield licence" which costs $30 (valid for 1 year) and you will need to have (or hire for $20) an approved helmet. For more info on Wakefield Park go to: http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au

If you would like to come, you will need to pay your $50 in advance, to do so, or for more infor PM me :D

This will be a great day and a chance to get away from speed limits and speed humps and enojy your car as it's maker intended.

Richard

ha haah - just a joke for the GTiR guys.

A GTiR that ran an 11.4. should go better soon...

But yeah, hope you can come, the more the merrier. :)

C'mon guys! Where are all the die-hard track-fiend, schumacher wannabe skyline pilots? Consider this: A lightly modified GTST should be a good match for a gti-r. Both 2 litre (1 a 6, 1 a 4), both single turbo, one rear wheel drive, one four wheel drive. I guarantee a good day :P

Wooo Hoo! Almost empty track!

I'll have to confirm closer to the date, but I'll be along for sure if work is OK...can't wait to whip some of those little gtirs :)

BTW, 11.4sec is bloody quick around wakefield, I can hardly get below 71sec :D

The only way I am going to beat one of these things around the track is if it has stock suspension with compliance wheels and tyres:cool:

& maybe if he has his hands sticky taped to the steering wheel!

I didn't have this much power of the FMIC last time I went down. best time I did all day was 1 min 21 secs. my mate with the stock as a rock MR2 did a 1 min 16secs I think. he was laughin the whole way home!

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their reliability is proven, performance can be predictable, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
