Yeah guys, Kim and I discussed this and enjoyed the use of the garage on the previous day. Anyone who wants to store stuff in the garage, more than welcome, just pay the fee. So far there are 3 of us chipping in.

Heslo and i will be splitting a garage between us ($110 total for one garage - yes, it's expensive - i know) but the more people who chip in, the cheaper it is for those who need to use it to store their stuff. it will be a separate cost from your course fee. $10 per person will make this plan viable.

How come it is $110 per garage when it was $25 on the October trackday? Seems a bit of a steep price hike! Does 1 garage equal the complete shed ie 3 cars can fit underneath it? Even so that would have been $75 less than a month ago.

i'm not entirely sure - that's what John Bowe Driving have quoted me for one garage. i think that it may be a triple bay garage for $110 as you can't exactly close off the other two bays if you have one roller door up.

i understand that the package that Clem did for Adrian's private trackday included the garages. i don't know what Adrian was charging the guys on the October day for the use of the garages - can anyone confirm that?

either way, we've got at least half a dozen people on the list now, so $10pp takes the load off me and Luke. thanks guys!

^^^^ The recent private track day included two sheds (6 car bays) and if you wanted more beyond that they were $25 each (for 1 car space I believe but George aka Adelaideprosound may be able to confirm this as I believe he was the only person to pay for an extra bay).

Yay I have my GTR back... for 4 days. It's had a change of brake fluid, oil catch can connected and new clamps around the intercooler. I also bought 2x 20L Fuel Safe containers (the black ones Kim) & 2 bottles of octane booster. The car was clean but today's rain has ruined that. Other than that I just need to fill 'erup and Robert's your mother's brother.

i didnt charge anything for garages!? all i knew is that they were open?!

I meant that you (as in anyone) could purchased the extra bays off of the lady who took the paperwork and the cash for the CAMS licence. Nothing to do with you Adrian.

ahh yeh.. clem said it was $25 a shed, whether it be a whole 3bay shed or not.. but when i was like can we use the second shed they were like yeh just open it up!

i dunno why they're charging the John Bowe Driving guys $110 a shed then! that's a bit much given your info on this Adrian. and that was their cost on to me. i will investigate more over the weekend but won't really have an answer till we get there on Monday.

my advice = don't bring unnecessary shit on the day. it's not like you'll be rebuilding your car throughout the day. you should be able to turn up, have a great day on the track, and then drive home without having to wrestle with stuff during the event. random mechanical failures and accidents should be the exceptions to the day. the purpose of having the extra garages was for extra storage, shelter from the elements, and those "just in case" scenarios. if we can't get the additional space, then i'm sure that we can cope.

Switched over to my track wheels this morning (2mm clearance between the wheel spokes caliper on the front, had me sweating abit.. worried i would have to run spacers), 255/40/17's all around.. no more sliding about hopefully, and got the coil cover off to vent the coils.. that's pretty much my track prep done

Heslo has suggested breakfast / coffee from 6am at Vili's and then meet at City Dismantlers at 7am for a 730am departure. see you all at either meet point or up at Mallala.

the drivers' briefing is from 0830am at the paddock - everyone will need to be there at the time for course registration.

helmet + fuel + tire pressures + metal valve caps + tighten all wheel nuts = all set!

depending on what time i finish work, i might wander over to vili's and see everyone off.

I think I'm working out north tomorrow so may make a quick pit stop for breakfast and catch up with the boys too

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By tylink720 · Posted

      If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions

      So i brought a boat...

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!

      Is the Clock Spring and Steering angle sensor the same thing?

      By silviaz · Posted

      So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
