Skylines at WRX club sandown event.

[FLYGTR]

I wasnt racing for this one , but saw a few nice skylines . Also I mean CALDER :Oops:

Franks white R33 GTR was absolutly flying and i think would have won the day easily posting in the 63 sec bracket .

AVO had a strong R33 gts t which sounded great and had plenty of straight line .

A black/purplish R33 GTR with black GTR rims was out but seemed to have ignition dramas later in the day .

Also a grey R33 gts t which seemed to have a constant misfire but toughed it out all day .

Its good to see these cars on the track and i know the rexie boys are always keen on watching their progress

There will be a few more joining the ranks i think Adam.

an 34GTR (once gearbox is done)

an R31GTS-R (once my motor is done)

a 32-t - im sure Roy (troy) will come with us

Maybe a 33-t , someone might have to twist Geoff arm?

probably a few more too Hope their keen attitude sticks around

[ferni]

and me, specially when i get an oil cooler and some stickies

[R31Nismoid]

Oh yer... there is always one person i miss

my shadow man

[Roy]

....and some stickies

lol... who has a rubber fetish ...ignorance is bliss, just disconnect your oil temp gauge or be sure to get the cooler before the rubber

Yeh once the old battle hardened R32 has stopped its hissy fits and is back together running, ill be good for just about any track day that doesnt clash with work commitments.

FLYGTR you say an R33 GTR posted in the 63 second bracket, i take it Sandown has a short track?!?!?! as i think V8 Supercars do 71sec laps?!?!?!

[SS8_Gohan]

oooo VIC track team now, i'm so heading out with you guys once my car is regoed. R34 GT-T, one of the reasons i bought it was so i could race it. Have the Mines R34 GTR to thank for that

Need to do anything to be part of Team Wang

The event was at Calder, I'm sure that's what he meant.

The purplish GTR is mine and had to retire after the first session.

Emre - heard you may have lost a piston. Any truth in the rumours?

FLYGTR - I'm going to join the rex club. Their track days look well orgainised. Do you go to the general meetings? I was thinking of going down this Thursday and checking it out. Apparently the Maserati Club is joining the MSCA next year so those track days could get very crowded.

[GTRgeoff]

Bring on the next one. Got a fat healthy dyno curve and I'm just itching to get out there again.

Sticky's are for sooks! (aka wish I could afford some)

[ferni]

and wrx club get some good discounts i hear - ie whiteline

I might have to defect to WRX club as well! :Oops:

Andrew,

All the possibilities went through my head on the day, but it's not internal.

The car has a very erratic idle and running on 5 cylinders in in low rpm, but i have no loss of power. I am leaning towards an AFM or a dud injector in no:3 cylinder but haven't found out for sure yet.

The day was organised very well. They had 75 cars entering the track day and there were plenty of laps to be had.

dont forget the ceffy!

[Snowman]

Well Emre I hope it all turns out to be as painless as possible for you.

Had a look at the rest of the track days for the year with the rex club - their timing is shocking. Next one is the weekend after the dutton, the one after is on Grandfinal Day (I'll be there) and the final one is the day after Derby Day on the Nov Long weekend (BIG drinking day for me).

So that sucks.

[INASNT]

With all these track days goin on i am gonna have to get my unlicensed ass out there soon also!!!

[whistla]

Ill be out there once again.....right after my engine gets rebuilt

cant WAIT for it

What have you done!?

[FLYGTR]

Hey guys , i meant calder my mistake .

Emre i saw you working on the car but it looked like you had your hands full so i didnt want to hassle you ( been in those shoes), .

Snowman , i am a regular at the meetings ( not this one though even though with race brakes their should be a good one) . The rex club is pretty good especially the motorsport part of it as you will find they are all like minded poeple with very few fools , thats why im still their . I usually race an ol' VL commo but have been using the RS lately . Our next event is at sandown or winton , if your keen on some more info pm me.

adam.

I also thought VicSAU was getting ready for track days ? , if you guys are stuck i can point you in the right direction to meet the cams requirements.

I've been a member of the WRX Club since owning my WRX - it's a superbly organised club and is cheap. The magazine is a great read too. Maybe I should go to the meeting on Thursday?

[Emre]

Adam,

You should've said hi... I had parked the car for an hour or two just to watch some action, but went back to it later in the day to eliminate a couple of possibilities.

Anyways, it turned out to be a blown inlet manifold gasket.

Jack, thanks for lending me your AFM mate.
