For anyone interested there will be a 1 hour Sports car race held as part of the AMRS round at Winton on August 25th and 26th. The Intermarque Challenge will be running over the Saturday and Sunday having practice, qualifying and 2 five lap races (one for each driver if two drivers are listed for 1 hour race). On the Sunday the race will be the feature event for the round with the 1 hour "endurance" style race including driver swap if 2 drivers are entered.

The round will get national TV coverage (SBS speed Week) as well as international coverage on pay TV in South East Asia and New Zealand.

All sports cars are welcome (generally 2 door coupes) Skyline GTST, GTR, 200SX, RX7, Supra, NSX and 3000GT's ect. Currently every round of the series has been won buy a Porsche with Maserati, Ferrari and Dodge close behind them. The series administrators are interested in seeing some Japanese cars out competing with the European and American cars. Unlike a few of the other sports cars series turbo cars are not only able to race but are welcomed as the series organizers drive Turbo Porsche's.

payment will not be processed until 14 days prior to the meeting if you request it. Any problem that arises-- as long as we are kept informed -- a 100% refund is guaranteed up to 4 days prior to the meeting

So if anyone has any questions or is interested in coming out to try and stop Porsche from getting a clean sweep of the series PM me or contact John Good via the email address provided above. If not come out and enjoy watching some great cars fight it out on track.

There will also be a sprint round held at Calder in September if anyone is interested please let me know.

I'd Love to race in this series... reminds me of the old GTP/procar days with all types of cars battling it out. I went to watch AMRS Intermarque round 2 at Calder in March and there is some serious cars in this category and i don't consider my car to be at that level.. I don't think I could justify the $550 per round entry costs without a couple of major sponsors.. maybe one day. I know a few damn quick GTR's that would give the leading porsche a run for their money :thumbsup:

the series has different classes in them to make sure you are racing with similar paced cars (forgot to mention that in the first post).

I understand that it can get quite expensive if you are funding your self. Many of the current teams / drivers are self funded so they don't attend every round of the series.

doesnt anyone reply to these things??? u have half the info champ... u should add ALL of it next time

Sorry not getting back to you , at the time i didn't have the entry fees. I know they can vary for us due to the higher track time ect.

If anyone is interested please let me know ASAP as entries are closing in the next few days

This round is really shaping up to be a the best one this year, so if you aren't competing and want to see some great racing head out to Winton :( (I'm just PISSED i won't be making it over there for the round)

      Auto Electrician Workshop Recommendation for Reverse Camera Not Working CKV36 (SYD or WOL)

      By JoVo · Posted

      Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.

      to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
