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

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
