Not long now. :wassup:

Whilst its been a while since we saw the GTR's showing the others the way home, and its true that half the crowd and mullet wearing bogans, who else is going this year?

I think I recall some good pics posted on the forum from last years race.

I've got my glod pass, and my pit pass, and since my other half isnt interested in comming its a great opportunity to catch up with a few mates, sink some suds and get a bit messy.

If you are going, drop past and say hi. We usually hang out behind stand G (start finish line) within shouting range of the drinks tent.

We have passes in the Pit Entry stand and will be there for the 4 days. Definitely keen on catching up for a drink - I reckon where Guy said is a good spot - I think that is near the 'Pub Tent'. We should organise a time and/or exchange mobile numbers.

A mate of mine lives on the circuit so we get to be there all day and all night, the party doesnt stop, we even get vehicle access passes to the track which is always fun. Have a look along east terrace on saturday our party is always pumping and we tend to stir up the crowd on the other side of the track by about mid race. Also we never seem to know who won the saturday race till sunday morning. Maybe the kegs have something to do with it.

I didn't make it at all today due to work, and I probably won't be in there by 12 tomorrow, as I have to work in the morning.

Can we make it at 1pm though - which is straight after the Supercars 2nd Practice. Can we meet where u said then?

how about we try for 12:45pm at the Eastern edge of the multi-coloured shade? The 1st Supercar race starts at 2pm so we will have time to have a drink and say hi. Everyone is of course invited.

12:45 is good.

which is the eastern side? We are always on the side closest to the Clipsal Merchandise tent (used to be a smaller beer tent)

I'll have a clipsal hat on (with a chekered flag and tacho) - Anyone got phone numbers? PM me and I will give you mine. (heading in at 9:30)

    • ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...
    • The "sacrifice of low end" is now basically irrelevant in 2025. Turbo/ecu/fabrication/and other tech advancements gives a vast array of options to mitigated any of it. My setup now is a fantastic example of this. 300whp / 20psi @ 3500rpm from a 600hp turbo setup on a notoriety low reading Dyno Dynamics roller dyno, is almost unmatched on all of SAU and other forums. The only other turbo i've seen that can achieve this is a BW EFR + twin scroll / twin gates etc etc etc... ps. tuned by Matty Spry at P.I.T.S as far as getting to the 600 figure, while enlarging your itb's alone probably won't get you there, as Sucram has stated above, it will certainly help. Just do it Predator1 my brother hahaha 🙂
    • I use Taaarks/efi solutions ones. Years, and no issues.
    • At the Botany heavy vehicle inspection centre. At the time there were only 2 locations that did IM240 testing for free, the other location was at Penrith. I did a quick google, seems like the Botany and Penrith inspection centre is closed now though About an hour of my time.  At the time you could. They are closed now   No it was Government run, the site was attached to the RTA from memory. The guys running it at the time were awesome, if you didn't pass the test, they handed you the results and said make changes to your car/tune and have another go later. You drove in registered, failed, and drove out registered.   Obviously though if you were defected, sent there, failed. You remained unregistered.  From my 5 minutes of research (have a look at the date on my test results) looks like things have changed. So, I can't see any way to get this test done for free now Seems like you'll need to call around the engineering places doing the Vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Scheme or call around workshops with a dyno and try and get a RG240 test. No idea how expensive that is though or how easy it is to find a place offering it.  Bit depressing learning about this now. The first car I had engineered in NSW cost me about $250 all up.... So kids these days can't buy houses, looks like getting your car legal and engineered in NSW is another thing on the list of things they can't afford. Great. 
    • That makes sense. Thanks!
