Ok so how about wakefield. For $80 (+$30 for those without a licence) we can take our pick of the the following dates:

- Thu 20th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Fri 28th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Tue 4th March, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

OR my pick :

- Sat 8th March, No Speed Limit Day - Street Cars Only,

The saturday for those of us that work, plus it gives us time to organise, and for me to install my new goodies.

Super DDDDDOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!! I have to break something now!!!! *bashes head against pillow*

I'll still be more than happy to bring some bread.

Cruise to kangaroo valley? Kiama? How about north? Don't know north too well and would be great to wonder up that way into "enemy" territory :starwars:

Well Guys I'm on now... sorry for the late notice but as Dino has said, this event has been cancelled... and apparently all the moto concepts days at oran park have been cancelled... this leaves them with only one full car day at eastern creek and that is towards the end of the year... november I think tracy said.

I am leaning towards meting at oran park anyway and giving back deposits... then cruising anywhere.

my thoughts were Bells and beach... then I thought bells beach but changed my mind as too far to travel!!!

maybe lunch in Richmond?

If you guys are happy I'll organise a alternative cruise event for the 16th and we can all run with that... let me know.

Sorry,

Dan.

Dan,

No need to apologise - not your fault.....

Let's do a crazy kick arse cruze & BBQ instead......

Maybe the first official SAU NSW club event ?? Dino ??

Yeah guys, I think that a cruise BBQ are a definate goer. Post up your ideas.

I have 2:

1. Meet at Oran park around 10 for a 11am departure. Head across to Richmond for a bite to eat at a nice pub I know of (or we could go to the pool and use their BBQ facilities and swim) and then we have options: 1 putty road. 2 Bells Line of Road. 3 Springwood road (this one doesn't take long though, and gets pretty boring after 10 mins... but if hill climb is your thing then this is the place to be!)

2. Meet Oran park around 8:30 for a 9am departure and head to the beach... set up BBQ and eat sandy bangers over a game of beach cricket/soccer/volley ball.

let me know what you think... but either way I want to meet somewhere and get these deposits back to everyone.

if you want to see about Wakefield then go here

If you want to follow what is happening with moto concepts then go here

Just remember we only have 8 days to get this thing planned... so if no ideas by Wednesday morning I'll talk it over with the missus and make a decision.

Talk to you all soon,

Dan.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

No fair! That sux0rs..

However, must say thanks to dan for organising it and collecting deposits and what not. You put alot of work into it and its a shame it got canceled like this.

Would love to get out on another track at some stage.. Keep us posted.

Hmmm looks like the info on the Motoconcepts calendar is waaaay out of date. They are showing numerous Drive Days at Eastern Creek. :P

How about a cruise to Bobbin Head or Appletree Bay? It is in the National Park (will cost $10/car to enter...) but we can book a picnic spot and there are BBQ facilities. From memory there's enough room to park etc.

Suggested route:

Homebush 6C -> Old Northen Road -> Galston Gorge or Berowra Waters Ferry -> Pacific Highway -> Bobbin Head Road

Another suggestion is to follow the route above with some deviations around the Dural area and end up at Berowra Waters Ferry for a BBQ.

We can have a meeting point somewhere along the route like at Windsor Road and Old Northern Road (basically somewhere there is a big carpark). Someone with local knowledge would know better than I.

:mad:

i realised i had the wrong dyno day

me bad

there is one this saturday 15th at girraween(silvia NSW)

then there is one on sunday at silverwater (performanceforums)

just change your big day out to sat at girraween and then cruise on around then

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
