G'day

The old man and I are taking the skylines to another tuning day this Saturday 3 September. There is also a hill climb at jacks hill the same day.

Does anyone have there CAMS license and WASCC membership and want to bring their cars out? Anyone who doesn't but want to come out for a look anyway are most welcome. There's no spectator entry fees and there is a lunch canteen.

9am - 4pm

Would be a great opportunity to meet and greet.

Cheers,

Brendan

Hi Brendan, Normally I'd be keen, but still waiting to get my car finished. Will definately be out there as soon as I can. WASCC Tuning days are one of the best value for money events around :thumbsup:

Don't forget to check out here for other events :thumbsup:

200L of Sucrogen E85. It's genuine race fuel, so is gaurenteed to be E85+, the stuff from the pumps over east fluctuates dramatically.

So not for everyday driving then :P

any word on when they are selling it at the pump here? last i heard someone was trying to manafacture it here a couple of years back but it fell thru...

Nope, only for the true motorsport enthusiast :thumbsup:

None of the petrol companies have any plans to bring it over, not only due to legal restrictions, but also due to not being able to fully supply the eastern states markets.

I would be keen to do some laps of Barbagallo!

I am part of the speed event series that are running the Jacks Hill- hillclimb, but its a long way for me to travel for only 4min of racing!!

I have cams L2S lisence and a car thats ready to go.

Can somebody tell me if this is going ahead and costs??

I dont have WASCC membership.. yet.. depending what this is worth- I may join up

That's why WASCC Tuning days are awesome, heaps of track time, so really good bang for your buck. They tend to alternate tin-tops and open-wheelers in 20-30min sessions. With your WASCC Membership you get a free Tuning Day (Normal cost about $75), so helps offset the cost.

WASCC Membership is annual, but membership is now being charged on a pro-rata basis, so you only pay a reduced amount till the end of the year :)

not wanting to put a dampner on this but, Tuning Days aren't really an event, there is no timing, racing, fastest, slowest, winners, losers etc you just get access to the track to do laps, which after a couple of times can get a bit boring, sure you can pump out some laps,to get familiar with the track and tune your setup. I find the Nolimits nights a bit more exciting with live timing and a leader board, you can see if you are actually getting quicker, and where you stand.. just my 2c

Look forward to meeting you fellas.

Shaun - I might try come and have a look at the hill climb and meet you.

Paul - good luck with the car amd hope to meet soon.

Cheers,

Brendan

No worries, silver R33.

I see what you're saying, and agree totally that it's not an event, however the only way to improve as a driver is by doing lap after lap etc. Lap times are improtant too, and grabbing a Performance Box, which can provide lap times and race lines are an excellent investment for the racing enthusiast.

I've done lots of No Limits events, and certainly would recommend them to anyone getting into Motorsport :thumbsup:, but for me time on the track is more important, so tuning days are great value for money :D

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
