**autosports** Oran Park "grand Prix" Circuit, Thursday 17th September.


Recommended Posts

YES... THE GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT!!!

We are pretty stoked to be able to bring this date to you guys. Those that have driven this track will agree that it is without question the best permanent race track in the country

Those in the know also know that this track will 100% be closed at the end of this year and this could seriously be one of the last chances you will ever get to drive this circuit.

* $250 per driver

* Includes qualified driver trainers

* Official timing

* strictly 4 groups of 15 cars running 15 minute session

There is really only five weeks till these event and we dont want to wait till the last minute to get numbers sorted. I also don't think that it will take too long to book this event out given that dates on the GP circuit are so hard to access.

So if you want to experience driving this amazing and rewarding Grand Prix circuit... register for this event now and don't miss out!

Hey Peddler,

Long time no see. I registered for this great day. I loved SAU GP and I will like a repeat. I hope I reserved my spot via this TIXI reservation but, the $250.00 ticket costed me $264.30. So people if you register expect a little bit more!

Cheers,

Eug.

Brad's 32?

Yep yep, the one and only.

Going to try and put a passenger seat in it.

Hopefully it will last the whole day. It doesn't have a great track record with Oran Park.

  • 3 weeks later...

Here is some in car footage from my run during session 2. I've still got a bit to learn about putting the power down smoothly and trail braking more into several of the corners.

    • Update 2: Today I'm f**king pissed. Some of you probably saw my thread that I opened shortly after joining this forum, "urgently need expert/experienced opinion", in which I discussed the possibility of a porous RB26 engine block which I also found hard to believe. Currently both turbos are out since the shitty braided line that was installed by whoever fitted the GT28 turbos leaked oil onto the exhaust. Today while working on the cam covers to put new gaskets and half moons in, I cleaned the side of the engine block with brake cleaner. Some time later I saw that it was still glistening with oil or coolant so I dried that off. But it was wet again shortly after. Verdict: I'm royally screwed. What you can see here (hopefully, despite shit resolution), circled in red, is a crack above the turbo oil feed. Extent is a few cm long and basically goes from #3 cylinder wall to #4 cylinder wall. It slowly lets coolant through, even without any pressure behind it. I am absolutely dumbfounded as to how this crack even formed, especially since it isn't along the cylinder as it usually is but rather a horizontal crack. Probably a few cm in length. Not sure on how to deal with this issue right now. Most likely, the only true fix is a new engine block, and even a relatively well done temporary fix requires at least a full engine teardown. Neither of those really fit my timetable right now, the car has been in my buddy's garage long enough as it is. I'm open to suggestions, but I'll be looking into ordering a new 05U block soon so I have one ready for the coming year, or whenever the current block inevitably fails fully. (Most likely once the crack reaches one of the frost plugs) I think it'd be a waste of money and time to rebuild the engine with this block. Oh and I found a rust hole on the side pocket of the trunk, which someone covered up with sealant goop, a piece of number plate and bodywork filler. Fun times. So far for every issue we fix we just find a new one that is arguably worse.
    • I have not found this no. I put one back on a couple days ago with no drama. I agree they are tight, but no need to remove anything. 
    • That is gates blue racing belt
    • Anyone found gates blue racing to be extremely tight/ almost impossible to install without moving the exhaust gear
