Team Wang Phillip Island Report and Pics.

[Scotsman]

I might take a photo later. The knob does screw off, but the shaft is way bigger than the hole in the top of the rubber boot. The shifter comes out of the gearbox by removing a sirclip.

Geoff - If I got a boot that would side over the shaft, the oil would still be able to get out the top. Unless I cable tied it to the shaft. (But that's just dodgey, yes, I know thats what you would do.)

Duncan - I think this wed might be an SAU meet. Snowman? correct me please?

[GTRgeoff]

Chris, it should still be kept in if sealed to the outer shaft and around the top of the box. I know mine is split as well so will need to come up with a fix when I go to redline lightweight also. Cable ties are your friend man

Roy, a quick rings and bearings rebuild and sell the leftovers might be in order but ride them a bit for the replacement engine. 2 days to swap engines remember.

Duncan, Weds night at the whitehorse

[GTRgeoff]

BTW can someone lend me 35K for a GTR33

[Emre]

Any one got any ideas how I can replace the rubber boot on my shifter?

It goes from the top Chris, stretches over the lever.

Nissan sell the boots as I bought one years ago.

EDIT : Part No : 32862-05U00

[Duncan]

Done, tomorrow night it is...time?

And I'll be in for the 18th, where can we get supp regs? I liked the look of Roy's echo and will grab something similar

[Snowman]

Guys - this Wed is a NDSOC meet. The next SAU meet isn't until 21st Sept (if you don't count the club launch on the 12th) Apparently the HSV Club don't put entires up on their websites until the very last minute - give their members the fist chance to sign up. However, I did notice in the NDSOC magazine that it said Karyn has entry forms so we can get them tomorrow night at the meeting.

Denham - I can sign your CAMS L2S form anytime - so you can either come to the club launch on the 12th and I'll have forms there or else I can even do it on the day.

[Snowman]

By the way - I hate this flag.

I probably should do something about getting that fuel issue sorted in the next few days hey!?

[Scotsman]

Looks like I wont be able to make NDSOC meet 2morrow night as going to Sydney for work. Can someone please grab me an entry form? I will arrange to pick it up later. Thanks

[GTRgeoff]

Duncan, usually 7-7:30 is good to have a schnitz before the MOST EXCITING club meetings ever

I think I'll order one of those boots myself. Thanks Emre.

[Roy]

Snowman, in your travels before tomorrow night, will you have a chance to swing by ICE? I think i have left the keys to the PI unit in my car and i need to post them back. If you can ill ring the guys and see if they are in the car, (blue rope and two keys)

[Snowman]

Was going there tomorrow anyways. Have to pick up my FC Hand Controller and have a look at Ross's new beast (will be joining us soon on the track - and will kick all of our asses!)

[Roy]

Whats the new beast? More the merrier. The RB20 lives so we will get to test my Sandown theory!?!?!?!?!

Spoke to mechanics today and it looks like my engine woes are sorted, and i wont be needing to spend a fortune on a new engine so can afford to get them to bolt it in.

Only it looks like friends are coming down from Sydney on the 17th, so may only be able to make one of the PI days, perhaps neither. Plus i dont want to rush everything like i did last time... perhaps i should be patient and wait til October and Sandown.

[Scotsman]

Thanks for the info on the boot Emre. Went to Nissan FTG and got it ordered same day pickup. $18.20 and it slides over the shaft quite easily with just a little lube. Turns out I lost 0.5 of a litre of redline lightweight fluro-blue gold.

I might come down for a bit tomorrow night. Not going to SYD now till Thu.

Oh and .....ah... Happy Birthday AdzMax.....

It's an ex-Signal RH9 GTR from Japan, a total animal.

It needs a bit of sorting out but the owner is keen on a circuit setup.

Good luck with the RB20 dude, are you just swapping motors...?

You are welcomed dude. Funnily enough, that's where I bought mine from 3 years ago and from memory, it was exactly the same price.

No more stench of hot gear oil in the cabin.

Yeh another std RB20 is going in...

Is it a 15yr import? Sounds way cool but i take it will be a strict track car or the rego thing of modded cars is sorted by takin git back to std?

[ylwgtr2]

im in....providing i can get my shit together

[Snowman]

God damn - another Troy! And another R34 GTR V Spec! And a crazy one at that!

We are going to have a fair presence at some track days coming up.

And I'm going to have to pull our finger out - or else I'm going to need some more boost! LOL. Emre will have semi's, Troy (ylwgtr2) already has them, RedR32's car is nuts (Ross), and Gerald will have his 32 in action by next year! It could be worse though - I could be running an RB20!

Alot of Ross's stuff is coming off. Apparently a T88 isn't that good around Winton. But the base foundation of the car is awesome. But it remains to be seen if it can actually be driven by an accountant.

[Laurence]

By the way - I hate this flag.    

Heheh pwned by the meatball :headspin:

[funkymonkey]

This is what I'll be flying when I hit the track...

And I thought most of you woulda copped this...

[Emre]

Is it a 15yr import?

Yeah... It is.

T88 to have Ben's magic touch, FCon makes way for a Motec etc.

Snowy,

You are holding your own pretty well so far mate, I doubt that will change with more powerful cars around you.

My aim is to keep up with you. If i can't, I will be playing at the back of the field on my own.
