At our last SAU NSW track day at OP it was mentioned that an interstate track day would be fun.....

the usual guys expressed interest in a weekend away to race the cars on a new track. well they are all new for me but you get the idea. So just putting it out there to see how many people would be keen on a track day at say QR for example. Leave thursday morning, get home monday. or something similar....Philip Island....

Would be good to cruize up with a dozen people as trip aways are always good and race somwhere different.

Hoping our interstate friends would be happy to have us also.

looking in the new year sometime.

In (of course).

Actually I'm heading down to vic for 3 events in 4 weeks (supercar support race@PI, national supersprint @PI and Mt Buller sprint).

So I'd be looking to qld next personally - maybe take a day or 3 off and do QLD raceway and Morgan Park.

Also need to get to Haunted Hills hillclimb (vic) and Mt cotton (qld) sometime too.

And the street sprints they run in qld eg Gatton.

And I still haven't been around sandown, winton, mallala, air, barbagello or hidden valley

Lots to do :)

Come to the Gold coast for the weekend of the 21 and 22nd of November, then do timeattack at qr on the 24th!

I'm interested in going south?

PI & Sandown?

:happy:

Second that!

Mick, have you finished the rebuild yet?

I met you back in 08 @QR in my 34 gtr.

think you will back for Nov 24th?

I have been enjoying a r32 Gtr and Evo of late.

Hopefully we can have a run together soon.

Cheers

and where is willo? Kept thinking you guys would be up there..

i was thinking late jan, early feb.......we will have to look if there are any major motorsporting events on around then, as would not want to do it on same weekend as say F1 (superlap) dumb.

Ben from Qld, are you able to see how those dates might fit in for QR.....

Anywone from Vic who could do the same would be excellent.

Sorry aggroman, i cant wait 4 to 5 months......want trip away with beer cars and strippers sooner rather than latr.

With enough noticed, 4 to 5 months into next year ill definitely be going wherever, QLD or VIC.

Did this last year with Chubbs n Clapa! Awesome fun indeed, recommend everyone to give it a go! I would be there this year but we have our club season finale dinner on the 4th :)

Late Jan - early Feb is generally when it all starts up again here in QLD, but i doubt we'll have a calendar until about December. Expect mid 30s at QR at that time of year.

After hearing the local Sydney crowd complain about Eastern Creek being a boring horsepower track, I doubt QR will win any fans! lol The full National circuit is not really used for sprints either. Saturday Sprints only use the dead boring Sprint track. Wednesday Afternoon Sprints use Sprint and Clubman tracks, and there are far fewer cars. Clubman is a much better layout than Sprint. If you want to run on the National Circuit, Mountainrunner's TimeAttack days would be the only real chance other than untimed general practice.

Morgan Park is hard to get into events. Warwick & Districts Sporting Car Club who own the track, run the QLD Supersprint Series there, but you have to be registered for the series to get in. There are SFA other track days there. Best bet with SAU NSW being CAMS afiliated might be to hire the track & timing equipment for your own day. I'm sure a few QLDers would join in to make up numbers. I would for one.

You'd be mad to come up and not do Lakeside! There are noise restrictions though.

Yeah mate will definately check for you. As harry said there is nothing carved in stone for dates yet. Will definately keep an eye on things and let you know the calender for early next year soon.

cheers

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
