just in response to a few PM's i have recieved on the same topic, this event it open to everyone and anyone. you don't have to join the official club or anything

you just have to come on the day, pay the people at the gate, and look for the group of skylines in the carpark or in the waiting area where you line up :D

they had over 250 competitors. 250*36 =9000 then u got the odd 400 spectators 17 * 400 = 6800 so $15,800 is quite the revenue for one night. i doubt they gave a shit bout ppl like myself only getting 1 run in due to letting too many friggen V8s run..

Im disapointed in the amount of runs everyone got... There was one guy in a VS ute I was talking to never even got one run...

I feel sorry or those who only got 2 or 3...

I got 4 in total and the first 3 i got were all within 20 minutes right at the start of the day...

Im out for the 17th sorry guys, too bigger crowd and not enough value. Plus the tin tops will be there for practice...

So basiclly you would be lucky to get 3 runs on the 17th if there is no stops... But I reckon you will be lucky to get 2 runs total...

if u get ther early like col and neol u will have no probs getting 2-3 in...

True...

My advice, and I may still be there, Ill see what Mickey Thompson have to say...

Anyways my advice, aim to be there at 3:45-3:50...

As on Saturdays there is generally private track hire during the day, so the gates are already open. So you will beat the crowd in the gates. Then go straight to the shelter at the end of the staging lanes and get your helmet checked and your stamp applied, number on your car and then line up straight away...

Remember to pick a empty lane to assure you one of the first runs... Then get your time slip and get back around straight away and generally you will get to run again instanlly... Then get back round one more time and you will probablly only have to wait 10-15 minutes...

By the time you have finished this run there will be over 200 cars there and you will be waiting more than an hour for your next run... So now is a good time to take a break, grab an icey cold coke and sit in the stands with your camera and enjoy the event...

Then once the sun goes down and your itchen for another run, go and do it again... You should have time for another 2 runs after 6pm, but be prepaired to wait over an hour and a half for one of these runs...

this is a good idea.. maybe something for the exec to consider as an official club event for later in the year?

for sure mate! If anyone has any knowledge on getting a private session could you forward me any info?

how much is it to get a private session? Boost cruising managed it, maybe we could link with e few clubs to get the numbers?

Yeah looked into it twice now...

2006 price was $7900inc GST for 9am til 4pm - Saturday Only

2007 price is $11500inc GST for 9am til 4pm - Saturday Only

2006 price was $6100 inc GST for 10am til 5pm - Mon, Wed or Thur Only

2007 price is $11500inc GST for 10am til 5pm - Mon, Wed or Thur Only

*$1200inc GST extra is you want traction compound layed down also...

Ill let you do the math... Short story, Impossible...

The exec did discuss the matter at the start of the year after i got pricing for the track hire. The idea was passed to Paul Ruzic to see if "Time Attack" could possiblly run the event, but its double what a track day costs, so you would be looking at $260-$300 per car assuming the same number of cars attend... So based on those figures, its Impossible...

challenging...not impossible

I have mates on the exec in the WRX club between us and them I think we could get 100 people...that would be cheap enough and would also allow enough runs? A bit of friendly competition could bring in a few numbers too

also sponsors may be able to help a little

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
