I know of another 2 people not on that list apparently coming so thats not a bad little turn out for the first event (I wasnt expecting more than 10 to be honest!) So - I think I will start up a new thread in the members section regarding classes for the club championship. If you are interested please give your comments.

if we havent got a competition number, r we gonna b given one on the day? does everyone has to compete?

If you're going out on the track, you will be given a number for the purpose of identifying your car for timing - unless you specify a preferred number on your entry form.

What classes have you guys entered your car in or will there be a seperate skyline outing?

I'll send off my entry tonight. Hopefully its not to late!

Associate class... there are about 20 places left.

1wl to go...eeek:(

The car should be running this weekend. Only the coilpacks still havent turned up. The package that i though was them was a DVD copy of American Psycho:)

Does anyone feel like lending me their Splitfire coil packs so i can get the car tuned? Big ask i know, but i just need them for tuning at higher boost. Also need to get the exhaust done, but thats not a must, just a want.:D Once i know the car is running i need to get it to Bayswater

I may be dumb but I can't find out where to register to the wrx site. Could somrebody PLEASE check again because I think it was updated last night. Also are normal seatbelts ok?

Normal seat belts are ok. The entries list will be updated later tonight.

The list has now been updated and you're on the list, Gareth Evans... number 19 :P

Car turned over today:) So have to flush all fluids, fit bonnet and check the boost controller etc works, and fiddle with the wastegate. Its looking ok, Fri night/sat will be a big effort, Back in Adelaide so wont have time to drop off for a tune and exhaust:(

Nice effort indeed Troy :) After seeing the mess you've been working on I think it would be a top job to get everything back together by Saturday.... only 5 days to go :) I'm getting those Project Mu pads on Wednesday... so hopefully should be able to get them fitted on Wednesday/Thursday evening.

:(

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
