Yeah it was 4-5 in the end but that was just to cover the hire and insurance costs, nothing towards the capital purchases we were making. There is still an event per month to go this year and the Texikhana theme is not dead.

thanks to the wanks that gave us false hope..... we should kick them out of sau, there no help anyway lol

Now I don't think that's very fair Kujotk, I'm sure everyone tried hard to get the numbers together, but in times where petrol is hurting the hip pocket the most, and being in another state, needing an over night stay, the money quickly adds up before you even get onto the track... I don't even enter and it's quite easily a $300 weekend.

There are still plenty more events throughout the rest of the year, and we have some plans for more events in the future. This is more of a hickup then a major problem :P

im still shitty and will be untill i finnish a few beers of tonight....... also this had a track and a pan, i havent seen anything else like this except for the previous texi and this would have been the ultimate beginners introduction to get to know my car better...... i'll be looking forward to other events....

haha, I'm already a few beers in... hence the calmness :P

Texi is in no way dead, we were never going back to Sutton anyway due to problems that arose... We are looking for a replacement, and although it won't be exactly the same, it will be just as good :)

That's right, we've already found a tentative venue which is promising, so soon the process will begin on securing it so we can organise our next Texi. Even better, if this venue is the go, then it's going to be nice and local, so there's a minimum saving of roughly $200 per entrant because we won't have to worry about driving down, overnight accommodation, and getting back the next day.

this sounds excellent..... ive been looking online and in an old gregorys 13th edition 1995 street directory to see what i could find and once upon a time i recon amaroo park would have been nice and local, only 10min drive from my place lol

how about we ask a bunnings for use of their car park after they close on a sunday night lol,,,,,

also can we make this new event as soon as possible, and if this new place suits us, is there a rough estimate of what month this will be held?

maby its too soon to ask but im just keen to go

Yeah, it's a shame Sydney's lost soooo many race venues over the years - Amaroo Park, Castlereagh drag strip, and probably at least another 2-3 more... Oran park has been sold to developers and will be converted to a housing estate in the not-too-distant future, so do yourselves a favour and get out there and use it while it still exists!

Did you know that before Westmead Hospital was built that that site was the old venue for what became Parramatta City Raceway?

Bunnings car-park is probably a little to no chance of happening, unfortunately...

We've got no idea when this new "replacement" event will take place, considering the Texi was only cancelled today. We've got to make sure we can use the venue, then find an available date, and go from there...

thought i might mention i'm still a texi virgin...... i want to loose it asap.... i hate being a virgin..... im a skyline owner whos a texi virgin *hangs head in shame*

    • Welcome. This is not really true. We have a whole forum here just for the NA shitboxen. And they are not very different from the turbo shitboxen. Just weaker brakes and gearboxes, and no LSD, for the most part.
    • I'm pretty sure it has an 040 in it @Duncan Also reading up, that turbo should top out at 250 as you first thought. It will be interesting to see how early it chokes due to the changes in the head too
    • Yeah confirmed they are Nismo 555s, found the boxes in the spares with the factory injectors in. Yeah the AAC has been relocated to allow reuse of the factory brake booster line, and yes confirmed it has a 1 way valve in it. Unfortunately the one on the car is cracked, I'll need to replace it. Pretty sure I've got all the AAC plumbing correct in my previous post, but I am going to source some new fittings with 90o angles to help with the hose routing and also one really specific moulded shape for the AAC intake to cold start hose (will raid the back of our local repco when I get a chance and work out some combo that works) One of the big things I learned in the GTR is you need to be able to get your hands all around the bay when something goes wrong. I've done a bunch of re-routing now and it should be much more practical now. Also got the BOV mount re TIG-ed by the local engineering shop so that should be good to go now. Never got to the fuel pump because of some life stuff today, but will pull it to confirm it is suitable for 300rwkw when I get a chance
    • Hello everyone, I am from Malta and have recently bought myself a fully stock 1992 Nissan Skyline GTS. It has the RB20DE engine and thus is NA. Unfortunately, not a lot of information can be found online related to the GTS, unlike the information for GTS-T and GTR variants. Apart of the Skyline, I also got a 1984 Porsche 924 2.0l NA and a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5DCi for everyday use. Excited to be apart of the community and perhaps get better information on cars such as the GTS.
    • The fuel pump bracket just slides straight up.  Below is a pic I stole off a site. But basically put hand in for fuel pump, wiggle it all about a bit while pulling up.
