Topaz...deposit is $75 and $75 is due on the night - last I heard.

Thats what it was last time, but this time theres the CAMS thing. I just wanted confimation from INSSSANE that its till $75 deposit and we pay $115 on the night.

Also, I still need to know where and when to get an extinguisher fitted. :

Last time I saw the entry price it was $150 (50% Deposit) + CAMS Licence

CAMS could be;

A current L2S license

OR buy a L2SE for the event only I think it's $40 or $20. Can't remember

OR Jai/Brett were hoping to start a CAMS approved "club" and would be offering 12month L2S license on the night for ~$100. Price pending. Last I heard from Jai they were hoping for CAMS affiliation status on the 8th April

Your best bet for more accurate information would be to email Brett or Jai

Pop into Tenagah for an extinguisher, Abdus will sort ya out

Do you know how much? I think Jai said he can do them for $85 installed. Will it be the same?

Tenagah is right near me, so it would be easier for me to get there.

Sorry for the delay in this night happening guys but i have great news, everything has been sorted out and the track has been booked for Monday the 24th April 2006. The details are still as per the first post, for those who are interested we only have 5 spots available I'll let you know if more become available.

For those who have paid etc please let your mates know that have paid also so we don't miss anyone out. If you haven't already organised your fire extinguisher give Jai a call at Tyrepower Greenwood (9247 1166)

Cheers

Brett

So is a extinguisher mandatory or not?

They weren't at the last no speed limit event.

Had a car burst into flames next to me at Barbagello once.

5 of us emptied our extinguishers into that car to no effect.

Always thought I would just walk away after that incident rather than wait for my eyebrows to grow back.

Not keen on drilling holes in the 35 for an extinguisher

We got away with it last time but yes as of this event they are required by CAMS, I do agree that 1kg of extinguisher might not do much but rules are rules. There were some Ford boys who felt the same way about it, I was going to find out if we can mount them on a bracket which uses the bolts of the seat (cost would go up also due to manufacturing something substantual if it's ok). However i can't garrantee this would be acceptable but i was going to ask anyway.

Just an update as it appears i forgot to mention it. Spectator fee is $5 per person and don't forget that the next day is ANZAC day which means it's a public holiday.

Also this is strictly a NO alcohol event.

$5 to watch a track day thats not a race meet or drifting?

bit rude don't you think..

I mounted my extinguisher using drivers seat retaining bolts. What you need is a length of flat bar (I used stainless steel - about 20mm x 6mm from memory) Match drill the stainless bar to the extinguisher bracket & bolt the two together. Then bend the bar about to allow it to clear all the lumps/bumps in the area. Finally drill another hole for the mounting bolt & attach it. If anyone is interested I can post up a photo tomorrow...

Haven't been knocked back by the scrutineers yet. Be aware though, that if you are short this probably won't work as the seat gets in the way.

This has been discussed on many occasions before, however to you complain about the $11 entry to the motorplex to watch Whoop Ass Wednesdays?? We are a business and we need to cover costs, if you think it's not worth it then that's your opinion and no one is forcing you to come down.

We fit the extinguishers to the passenger side of the vehicle so this mounting method wouldn't bother the seating position of the driver. I haven't asked the question yet, but as long as you can still easily access the clips for the bracket this should be satisfactory. Also aslong as the plate you use isn't too thick and takes up half the thread of the seat bolts.

I put it on the drivers side because the passengers side slides forward easier/further when you need to get people in the back.

By the way - from memory the Collie motorplex charges $5 to go and watch any of their events. On the other hand the Speedeventseries don't.

    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
