Yes

* waits for Eiji to respond * aka Stinkypoo

about 4 weeks ago I went and watched a Texi on Sutton Rd for an hour or so and then right next to it a Hill climb event was going on.

Both were awesome

Lol,

The MG Car Club of Canberra run four every year. I go to everyone that I can make. There is one coming up this month, which I'll start a thread about for your information.

I have been the SAU TEXI both here in Canberra and in Sydney. The local one is great because it's local, unfortunately they can no longer use the maneuvering area. The Sydney one is great because it's so big and not as tight on restrictions. Reece sets up a well flowing course but I wouldn't recommend getting to serious about it, even if it is a competition.

It would be great if we could run something like this in Canberra but there are too many restrictions. This is something we all need to voice to our local government people in a constructive way.

Oh really? What do they use then, just the skid pan?

That was our problem too, and hence why we only used the back track at the last one. Which made it a hillclimb then, not a khana lol

I think last time SAU used the "Highway" circuit type thing at the back and the wet skidpan.

MGCCC can get the maneuvering area because of some connections they have to the facility. They also are not allowed to run on certain parts of the pad.

Sydney isn't far away. I have been and will probably go again, but not as much as I previously did. I'm getting old and work interferes with fun.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
