going on last meet, yes. though that was my first so....was a great day chasing down the wrx rookies :D

Interested, would have been great if they were using an AASA permit, then I wouldn't have to buy a CAMS license ;)

Probably time I should buy one....

So 4 * 8min runs even for the driver training group? And after say 3pm to 4pm its a little more open or....? Never been to a club track day.

I've done Sandown once with the driver dynamics group, and Winton during a fun day, but I'm only running some average street tyres and think the driver training might be a good idea...

No they will not do licenses on the day - you will need to organise it beforehand.

You have plenty of time to get it sorted out, so shouldnt be a problem.

A word of advice though, dont leave it till the last minute - these things do take a little time to organise.

You'll also need to make sure your SAU Vic membership card is up to date.

Sent off CAMS registration today via mail, faxed off the driver training entry form to the WRX club and organised the $$$.

Anyone else doing driver training?

Didn't want to slow more experienced members down on the track :)

Can anyone enlighten me on the "in Victoria" bit of the section of the Supp Regs quoted below ? I'm thinking of coming down from NSW, am a member of two CAMS affiliated clubs in NSW, and hold an L2S licence with one of those clubs. Surely I don't need to join a Victorian club as well ?

I emailed the "motorsport" address listed on the website of the WRX club a fortnight ago with the same question but haven't yet received a reply.

All drivers must hold a current CAMS Level 2S licence or higher and be a financial member of a Club

affiliated with CAMS in Victoria.

Looks like im going to have to miss this one too :P

Exam on the Monday :huh:

My exams are thankfully over by then. Hopefully it's not raining so we get a decent day like the last one. By the end of it I'd cooked my brakes because of nearly 40 laps of punishment.

I queried this on your behalf and was given the below response:

I thought Colleen had covered this!! Obviously not.

As long as he has a L2S Licence and proof of his affiliation then I am sweet with it.

Hey mate

I'll be dragging the R33 out for it's first run on the track and doing the driver training as I'm a noob!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one... Are you running an R33 also? What mods have you done?

Mine is stock turbo and ECU pulling 200+rwkw and I'm keen to see how it goes up against other R33/34s.

See ya there

R33 GTR, as per my sig, don't want to high-jack the discussion with my car specs/mods/et cetera

The WRX thread on this is here no entry list yet :D

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
