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

    • On 12th June, the mechanic could not figure out what the issue was, but the car seems to be flooding with fuel. He was suspecting the tune, thus referred me to a tuner. Although the tuner is not familiar with Nistune, last Monday (30th June), he came over to try and re-map it. Despite the tuner trying to completely stop fuel, it kept sounding like it was pushing fuel. Tuner ended up suspecting either the ECU or Injectors. I do not believe the ECU or Nistune is the issue, as the Nistune software reads and communicates properly. Today, I removed the (new) injectors to see if they are clogged or leaking. Surprisingly enough, after those 3 days of driving, injectors 2 and 3 look very blocked. You can see the difference in the picture. I blew a bit on 3, that is why it doesn't look as clogged as 2. I am still unsure if this is what is causing the no start issue, but I am now feeling that I may have bought the injectors and Nistune without the need to do so, as the problem seems to be coming from somewhere else.  
    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?
