I'm going to try and go and Sat but am going to do Haunted Hills on the Sunday (another option if you are interested. Plenty of SAU people will be there - although if I was you I'd be sticking with PI for 2 days)

i have been told some stories about how quick you are mr snowman around PI, hoping i can tuck into your slip stream and you can pull me along :)

Last time i went to PI for the weekend the Haunted hills event was on at the same time as well which was a real shame. Looked at some of the footage and looks like a hoot.

Interested in splitting the cost of a garage on the Saturday?

I posted my forms last week with a cash cheque for the saturday, would have been heaps easier with EFT and faxed or emailed entries, spose I will find out on the day if they accepted it.

Really didn't think I would ever need a proper cheque book.

Gonna try fit oil cooler this weekend, then should be ready to go.

I'm staying down on saturday night for a few beers, then going to the track on sunday to watch a few friends peddle their cars around.

Look out for the silver 32 sedan.

Cheers

Rob

Will be going down on Sunday for a look....

Well, don't want to jinx myself...but with these late night ass bleeding hours, provided Fri, Mon & Tues go to plan i should be good for taking thu/Fri off which means I am good to go. Will call PIARC when i get a minute to confirm space on Friday this week.

roy, i sent my entry form early this week so if you hear it is full would you mind letting me know please. I really hope not as i just booked accommodation:(

Alex, Accommodation at the Phillip Island ECO Lodge if you have some friends seems most affordable and still OK, we booked a 2 bed villa Fri-Sat and Sunday nights. If you are going let me know and i guess drop by for a cold one.

I cant come. :wacko: Pretty pissed off ATM. Its the last weekend we have our holiday house. We sold it and the settlement is Monday.

Apart from weird little huts to sleep in, the Eco lodge is pretty well equiped. They have a big pool and outside BBQ. Seeing you guys will only be sleeping there basically. It will be fine.

Have fun :action-smiley-069:

Hi, met up with Matt and the boys and share the garage.had a great time at PI.unfortunately my S15 drop a cylender at Sandown on sat otherwise I will have a ball chasing Matt's gun S14.will have mine rebuilt quickly or swap the 2.2 stroker SR20 I got from Japan 319kw on pump fuel with a TD06/25G. look forward to the next track day.

was not the best weekend with miss firing that i thought had been fixed and then cracking the turbo manifold most probably due to the miss firing and having to run as little boost as possible.

Was nice to meet you all and whilst with all the troubles it was probably a weekend to forget it made up for it having a chat around the garage and seeing all the cars out on the track.

I have put together a clip for my tuner to try and work out what is the problem and replicate on the dyno but it gives you an idea of my frustration.

The running around with little or no boost and the big crack in my manifold was fun for a while until smoke started coming into the cabin. Might have to wait another couple of years to be able to afford to head down again but hopefully it will just be the driver and not the car as the limiting factor next time.

    • I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing
    • I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.
    • Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.
    • Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
    • Is the UP Garage in the US of Ayyeee even the real UP Garage?
