The GrpA & GrpC boys will be racing at Eastern creek including 2x GMS HR31s.

Saturday 19 will be practice and 1 race in the arvo. Sunday 20 will be 2 races in the morning with a possibility of another race in the arvo time permitting (which it generally doesn't)

what other cars do they race against?

last time there was an xf falcon, few vk commos, sierra (beat the lot of em), and some others.

good day mate. you should come out and see.

best part of the day is checking out hooker in his sexy winfield outfit!

Ok, times...

Race 1 is down for 11:15am on Saturday morning. First practice and qualifying are from 8am.

The first 2 races on Sunday are for 11am and 12:15pm. There may be another race at 4pm if there is enough time.

I don't know if there is any fee to get in but I've got a pass so nyea nyea :devfu: .

88Sillo, I'll be at the track around 7-8am Saturday, same Sunday. We are in the new garages to the left after you go through the tunnel near the medical block.

top day. only got out there for a few hours (and missed the bloody HR31 race!! :))

hooks showed me the times set my Rod in the HR. second fastest in his group I believe!

bloody fast. heap of other cars too --> sunbeams, zeffas, the works

see ya next year

I went out on Sunday at 2.30pm, was some pretty close interesting racing. Haven't seen those class of cars race for many years (well the old Amaroo Park days). Some pretty damn quick drivers/cars too, I timed a few 1m29sec cars :)

Yea, there was all sorts of weird vehicles racing.

The one that did it for me though was the red with a yellow stripe Lola driven by Wayne Park. If that thing didn't have 2 foot wide slicks on it I'll eat my hat!

Had the mumbo too, 88Sillo and I watched as it came around turn 2 in the warm up and the driver gave it a small squirt and turned it around.

Broomph---180! Hugely impressive considering the rubber!

There was Alboreto's F1 Ferrari there too. The 1.5litre turbo. It had a 3 position switch marked 650, 750, and 1000. I'm excited!

    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
