Any sort of roster for other events or will it be a random friday night every 2 months?

I can't make this one coz my car will be the same as last time so theres no point :P. But I will have a tune up a few days after this event.

I declare that i will beat 1 minute, next time I go :O

Topaz...you would be surprised mate as the best mod to get time off is improvment in driver ability. I went to the same track last year once at the start of the championship and 2nd nearer the end....with no mods to my car I managed to chop 5secs off my first time and all that was down to bigger balls (breaking later, carrying more speed round a corner...)

Hey guys, I thought you might be interested to know what cars to expect on the night. (once again there are still places available if your still interested)

Cam....the ext can be fitted anywhere as long as it can be reached by the driver whilst belted in the drivers seat. Mines against the tunnel in the passenger footwell, however have also seen it mounted behind the drivers seat under the rear seat padding on the vertical section (if that makes sense!!).

R34...if the event is being run as a CAMS sanctioned event then yes the ext is mandatory.

Does the extiguisher need to be of a certain type or can it be one of the one's available at Repco ect?

schedule H of the CAMS competitors guide says that the extinguisher must:

(i) comply with Australian Standard 1841 (This means dry powder)

(ii) Must be of at least 900g capacity (ie 2lb).

(iii) Must be inspected every six months (& tagged) & serviced every three years (ie recharged)

When you buy one there are two things to look for:

It has a metal bracket - try not to get one with a plastic bracket as the scrutineers don;t tend to like them.

It will have a build date stamped on the body near the hadle - get the newest one possible.

To answer your other question - I got mine from Repco.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
