duncan! where r u? we just beers in motel pool waiting for you n matt!

Delayed repsonse: - Glen Innes wasnt cold beer was crap lucky for Steve and I had a bottle of Bundy fully imported from Bathurst and at -no time did we feel the cold, (there was no freight on the bottle from Glen Innes to Warwick)

For all others we got to Warwick about 10ish gave the car a tub, found the track had a look see - a cruise or 2 - had no 4wd. Sorted that (fluid level sensor) - had another cruise or 2 - or about 30 laps plus. Bugger me canvas doesn't grip very good, so the Dunlop slicks are over it, A050s are back on for the sleepover - we will see what we can do tomorrow.

Our PB today (Powerbox) was a 1.24.2 top speed 199.84km per hour -great track, all having a ball, but I think after tomorrow might have to take back, that Wakefield is the hardest track on brakes and tyres

Duncan will be 5 seconds quicker tomorrow,had the full crew put new rear swaybar bushes in tonight and without being a dobber he wasnt rushing at all LOL beer time

Cheers

lol more beer than racing I think.

news from me is the car is running great, best is about 1.24.4 so far, will try a bit harder in the morning. puts me about 4th in sports cars but considering the mods on the car I'm very happy with that.

on the down side at least 1 turbo is dead so I'll be surprised if i last the full day tomorrow.

also stu has had a bastard of a day with his fuel pump, hopefully the bits from the cordless angle grinder will see him back out there and running well tomorrow

good to catch up with scooby, harry, noddy etc too.

good vids to post including noddy's 150klm/h+ drift at the back of the new section....can't do it till i get home tho.

ryan, you are missing out. this track rocks.

sau nsw road trip for here and lakeside mid next year.

I am kicking my self that I had too miss it. Fingers crossed I will be their next year, congrats on the time bugger about the turbo. Look fwd for the vids and more times.

I have cracked a rotor, killed the front left shock and the tires are definitely past their best.

Bugger, will you be able to run on sun? What times were you doing?

what a good weekend!

was good to see and meet the QLDers!

Harry, Noel, Callum and Noddy!

To the NSW guys - Duncan, Mitch, Matt, Stuart - thanks for all your help with everything - its great to have great people in the clubs to help you all out!

I ended up with a 1.37.5, with a first time of 1.43 - so not a bad result for a first time at a new track!

    • My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.
    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
