Show Me Your Racing Machines

dammmmmmmit.

Why did I have to open this thread?

man....I think I might turn my 33 into a full tracky!

Currently she goes well in motokhana's like DECA and some supersprints, just thinking now, tidy a few things up, get some more $$$ and enter some more events, would love to do Dutton but I think my cash flow isnt there

speaking of Dutton....

How do you guys go about it with sponsers???

[giant]

Where are you getting the lexan windows from and approx how much each?

i am getting them made through hi octane, if i havent recieved them yet so i dont have a price.

if you ring hi octane racing in sydney they may line a set up for you, i think they only have a pattern for the door windows so far.

i do know you can buy a gtr lexan kit from ikeya formula.

cheers russ

hi mate

if you have done a few events , you will love having a full track car, just try to make sure you know what you want.!

our car started off as a road car with a bit of weekend fun. now it is basically a registered track car rally car!

cant use it on the roads anymore.

also as others have said if you can do without it during the week it's a lot less stress when something breaks or you have an incident at the track! rather tracking you everday road car.

as far as duttons go, they are great but can get expensive trying to do more than one( but great fun:) )

sprints . hillclimbs, circuit club meets all a blast and fairly cheap.

with sponsors it is hard but some mileage can be had from events like the dutton because of the good media coverage.

results always help too and a good approach toward what you can achieve for the sponsor.

some of the most fun i have had , have also been the cheapest events i have entered.

and met some really good people along the way.

cheers russ

giant,

Thanks for the reply mate - much appreciated

Ive got an R31 gxe as my daily so no problem with not driving the R33 all the time and if anything wrong, Ive still got transport!

I guess Im stuck at what to do now?

well....I know the car is going in for a Z32 AFM and injectors and powerFC retune

I then need a better diff...

other than that?

I guess strip the inside?

Would I benefit with a half rear cage in the car for my level?

[Duncan]

plenty of locals can make lexen windows, pretty much any plastic/perspex place can cut them. Ours are getting done at a place in Castle Hill (don't have details atm) but will be under $500 front, rear and sides.

good luck getting it together Russ, there's nothing like a deadline to motivate

[88silhouette]

duncan does lexan mean it can't be road driven even with race/rally rego?

[Duncan]

umm dunno this is for the other car, wont be road registered (about as legal as russ's one)

[88silhouette]

ahhh got ya

[giant]

what our car is legal!!

it's lightly modded! haha

yeah looks like we will miss wakefield on the 7th as suspension wont get here till the 4/5th! but will will keep the deadline anyway as is it booked in for dyno tune on tuesday.

fineline i hope to have it a QR before japan , i will have to see what's on once it's running(more likely to be a wednesday test at morgan park)

and thanks matty , i will know how much stuff we have to do later this week

cheers russ

gday russ yeah thats correct mate

fatz and i crashed the night in the common room of the wakefield park cabins

that morning we got charged full price accommodation when we tried to drive out unawares..

[9krpm]

Good luck with the project giant, it will be nice to see you guys and the beast again at QR.

I think QR next print day is on Sat the 15th of Sep

Duncan, how much weight did you shave off with the lexen? I don't see why it should be illegal....if anything it will help to cushion the pedestrian head during an accident

[Duncan]

can't really tell....we didn't weigh old v new windows. But the standard glass is *very* heavy. And the poly carb windows are very light.
