The Winter Winton Fun Day is on Sunday 17th July.

This is always a great track. It's still pretty good even in the wet. Great track to learn on and huge run-off area's if you get it wrong. Nice and simple, track is a contant width and although this isn't a factor for you Anthony there are minimal gear changes so you can consentrate on steering and braking.

Mind you on these fun days your biggest risk is other cars. There are heaps on the track at once.

ok, yeah im lazy, and just trying to drum up an indication of sau interest.

i went last december, took a friend with me, who took his brother up early this year. so now the whole posse is interested in going, since it doesnt require licenses and is dirt cheap.

apparently the last fun day had half the people, so less cars on the track, and much more comfortable day. december put me off, with so many cars, and people started getting ****y as the day went on, so rode ya ass into corners too much.

anyway, july it is, prolly head up then. just concerned since no mention of it here; wondeirng if it been overlooked or come and gone.

cheers.

Every time I take my car it's very busy, every time I don't and I go to watch/passenger it's beautiful weather and quiet without fail! I'll be driving this time so expect lines round to the petrol bowsers like the december one!!!

This time of year will make the lines more bearable, not so hot.

Whats too far? There is no such thing:)

These days are so much fun i have never considered the drive to / from nto worthwhile ...even the time i needed a tow back to Melb. A +3hr drive is nothing, its a CD and a half, and if you happen to be in an SAU convoy its seems a lot quicker:)

How is delaying my holidays so i can do 3weeks work in Sydney...real reason was i wanted to go to Eastern Creek, thats just under a 9 hr drive:)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
