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

Not raining on your parade but do you think you could get 115 cars all to pay $100 each...???

So they might get up to 10 runs each if nothing goes wrong... ie. Track clean up's from dropped oil...

Why would someone not go to a test and tune where there is tops of 150 cars (Wednesday event) and pay $36???

Tnt on a Wednesday you will get up to 6-7 runs if nothing goes wrong... ie. Track clean up's from dropped oil...

Bost cruising did thier day 100 cars for $80 dollars from memory and they did it this year..there is more to this than meets the eye hence the reason I want to look into it

I could get 115 cars but 80% of them would be wrx's because thier members are way more active and far less whingey :happy:

Boost Cruising paid for the event in September last year...

I spoke to Nick about the whole setup before I presented the idea the first time...

EDIT: 80 cars at $85.25 each... Both last November and this April...

They are doing it again this year (90cars at $85each), but with sponcers to lower the cost back to what last years cost...

But still thats $85 per car for a max of 9-10 runs considering no accidents...

If you read into their rain out policy you will see that there are some pot holes you could hit if it rains half way throught the event...

If it rains prior to half way you recieve 30% refund, if it rains after half way you recieve no refund...

Yep sponsors will be our goldmine, victoria has put us on to a few that pay out fairly well for events like this

Yeah so anyways, back to the topic at hand...

Ill probablly be there, however as explained in the other drag thread Im a little worried about this 130mph rule... So ill let you all know as soon as I can clear things up and get my slicks of course...

No one wants to see me doing skids half way down the track again... :happy:

It was fun tho...

I find it hard to believe a sponsor or 3 couldn't kick in $1-2k to help discount a full day to members, considering the advertising and full day's marketing they could receive. It wouldn't even have to be a performance workshop specifically.. it could be autobarn, a tyre-place, etc of this world where that sort of money is a pittance. Just think how much it costs to put a TV ad on for a few seconds.

I am sure the official '$36' test and tunes would be significantly more if not for sponsorship of the companies with their billboards down the track, etc.

also sponsors may be able to help a little

Bring it on!!!

Some rivalries with the REXes, a SAU club day with some bbq and racing for less than $100 will be great fun.

I think I will bring my r32 out nxt Sat. Lets see how much slower the current synchro gearbox will b compare to my previous dogbox.

See you guys there.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
