Well its on again. Unfortunately my car was not ready for the private track day on the 11/07 but it will certainly be ready for the normal S.A.S. on the 16/07. Can't wait to get out there again and test out the new goodies.

Hopefully we can see some more people there. For all those that can't make the mid-week days here is your chance. The weather is nice and cool, there is no excuses, lets go have some fun! :wassup:

if you to get the track license for $55. Its valid for a year. Then its $95 for 3 sessions on the track or $75 if you prepaid at least one day before the event.

We usually get there around 10am.

Sorry for working full-time and spending all Thursday night fitting a new set of extractors to the mini. Look it up, all the info you need is on the QR Web page, its just an open to the public day not a privately organised day.

But. . . . we usually turn up around 11 ish to try and get one of the undercover pits, I have to renew my 12month license which is about $55 I think and the sprints have gone up from what I have heard, $75 prepaid and $95 on the day????

You need a current license, at least long sleaves and long pants, and a helmut (you can hire them there). And then just get ready to have some fun! :(

NA_R33, it will be interesting to hear your comments on cheaper but wider rubber as last time I bought tyres they convinced me more expensive thinner rubber would give better grip due to the compounds etc.

Ill be sure to let everyone know how good they are after the auto hands it too jason... nah jk's. But yeah was only out there 2 weeks ago with the old yoky's on the rear. Before even hitting the track, the car has never hooked up as hard out of corners with the 265's.

Looks like we're kinda organised. Car is currently in at mechanic (his reaction after seeing the figures from it's current wheel alignment was not good - hence it's staying the night). Should be back fri arvo, and all is set for a sat blasting.

Also bringing out a mates "power cordia" - with special smoke screen function ready for use. Hope the line holds together though, as the cordia is a trailer only job (and finally confirmed that the line does fit on the trailer :) just as well).

See you there JLNewton - can't wait to see how well your GTR peddles.

Hey, Dave. Actually bailing on this now as of yesterday. Have been invited to attend a track day at Darlington park on Sunday. Can't do both days and the Darlington park track is heaps more fun ;):) :)

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
