The title says it all ;)

As ORAN PARK will stop operating from the 25th JAN 2010, this is the very last opportunity for you to drive on the circuit at an open track day without having to hold any special race licence. YES THIS IS THE LAST EVER ORAN GP OPEN TRACKDAY.

This day promises to bring a bag of mixed feelings....sad, historic, happy etc

I think this should be a day to come along and farewell this magnificent venue we have come to know ;)

I have some very special friends coming along to this day. RALLYSCHOOL and SPORTSCAR WORLD RENTALS will have displays on the day and will be giving away prizes.

3 lucky people will go for a ride in a rally car on the purpose built rally track at ORAN PARK on this actual day as part of a lucky door prize for all entrants on the day. The prizes will be drawn at lunch.

3 lucky people will go for a ride in a sportscar supplied by SCWR on the ORAN PARK GP circuit on this actual day as part of a lucky door prize for all entrants on the day. The prizes will be drawn at lunch. Last time I did this, SCWR allowed me to take people for rides in there 430 Ferrari :)

This day is sure to be a sellout, with people emailing weeks ago putting there name down for this event as they have heard about it through the grapevine.

For those that have never been to a track day before, do not be intimidated. This day caters for the complete novice to the experienced. Plenty of instructors will be on hand to help you throughout the day.

We intend on having 4 groups based on speed/experience. Each group will go out for 15 minute sessions. We will have CAMS flag marshalls at this event helping us with the day :biggrin:

Do not hesitate to contact me for any further information on this day via email or mobile 0412 574 010.

Hope to see you on the day :)

    • He is around but doesn’t really do automotive stuff anymore, mainly does commercial work now 
    • Shortly after I do the usual full exhaust/ fmic/fuel pump/ R33 turbo and still get flogged at the lights by i30Ns
    • Is Chris from Craved Coatings still around? He is an ex SAU guy and did great powder coating (back in the day at least)
    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
    • So when will the Samsonas, twin scroll turbo setup on go?
