wasn't really a cut. I dropped a wheel off the inside of the kink due to a safety pump of the brakes. Its there in that video just before you passed me. As I said on the weekend I'll pay for the screen, but its really not my fault they used boulders big enough to dent car's bonnets as fill at the very edge of the track! And before the 'upgrade' there was a ripple strip there... You're not exactly squeaky clean in the corner cutting either...

Phillip Island 16-06-2013 After a wet start in the morning the day got better. Still very cold, had a lot of trouble getting heat into the tyres. Couple of issues spun the rear yoke in the tail shaft

well it worked...

I think we shouldn't have complained about the drop offs at the edges of the track following the resurfacing. As ordinary as that was, it was prefferable to the situation we have now with numerous large rocks being thrown onto the circuit every lap in 2 or 3 places... And Tetly's worried about the puny little rocks from the pit surface getting on the track! :D

here's some in-car from Aaron's 390rwbhp Escort. Jeff posted this link in a couple of other forums. Aaron's an ex-IPRA circuit racer...http://www.youtube.com/user/trackattackau#p/u/3/u_YFaB9CbT4

So what we need is for people to stay on the track, instad of going gardening or playing in the sand pit :D

No, I think bringing it up with John would be wise, but how do we do it?

Even someone making a small mistake can lead to them dragging three inch diameter rocks onto the track, and having them hitting your car when following at 200klm/h is not cool. Nor it the loss of grip if you run over one when fully committed going under the bridge.

I had my car painted and new windescreen installed three track days ago, and now the front needs a total repaint again, along with several dents removed and another new windscreen, and the new intercooler has suffered significant stone damge.

The addition of ripple strips would get rid of that problem.

there always was a ripple strip at the kink before the resurfacing.

I don't know what they were thinking using rocks as fill at the edge of the track! Almost every lap you'd come across large rocks on the left hander after carousell (they eventually put witches hats up there to try and stop people droping a wheel there) under the bridge and sometimes in the kink.

unrealistic to expect no one to ever drop a wheel at the apex of a corner on a race track! I certainly didn't do it intentionally, and I'm (reasonably) sure Ben didn't after getting past me :blink:

Haha, no, I remember dropping one off under the bridge with you behind me and thinking I'd live to regret it! lol I find I DO drop one off occasionally if I miss the line a little bit there and turn in too early. In that case I need to drop one off or risk running wide on the exit, which you know, aint cool at that corner.

And yes Harry, every race track i know of has ripple strips on the insides of the corners! Lakeside should to.

Did you get the Timing equipment at the finish????? Looked pretty close there and must have been an awesome event. Bathurst hill is an event I want to have a crack at one day, Probably in 2011 though. :P

How is your seat mounted Stu? it moves around alot.

No didn't get the timing equipment - think it had about 2 thou clearance.

By all means give us a PM and will let you know when entries open for it next year - there is actually a round of the NSW Hillclimb C'ship in March - Mountain Straight and Esses hillclimb same weekend.

Entries fill very fast and preference is given to NSW registered competitors.

Seat looks worse than it feels, is on Sparco seat and base.

this is a link I need to fix. It is a mates George Fury Replica Bluebird hitting a wall ath the top of the Noosa hillclimb. The impact was transferd throught the shell by the roll cage. End result is the shell is now totaly f*^#ed. lucky he has a spare shell or 2 and is in the process of reshelling it.

Thats cause it is. Its a logged 3D sports sedan, its well and truely behond being registeered again.

It doesn't actually run much of an exhaust. It has dual side pipes from the turbo dumps straight out the side of the car.

sport sedans do 44s around the short track better go to improved production

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By Duncan · Posted

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
