Hey fellow Skylines. Is anyone interested in entering power cruise?

DETAILS: http://www.powercruise.net/12/index.php?page=entry_form

WHEN: Feb28 - Mar2

WHERE: Eastern Creek

PRICE: $120 entry before Jan 7 / $180 after Jan 7 / $220 after Feb 22

Dyno Comps additional $30

WHATS INCLUDED: This includes full weekend admission fee for the driver into Powercruise® and entry into the Carline Mufflers Powercruise® cruising sessions, Powerskid™ Comp, Burnout Comp, Off-Street Racing, Drifting Comp and the Show & Shine.

I bought my GTR back in August and have been spending my time going over my car making sure everything is right before I take it to the track. For me this is an entertaining event where I can flog the car a bit on the cruise sessions and off-street racing without being too hard on my car.

I'm seriously considering this and a few additional SAU folk joining in would just push me over the edge. So whattya think?

:thumbsup: GD2ILA

I think I will do it too. I've seen footage on the Ignition DVD (Ep #25 just out). Looks like a lot of fun.

From what I can guess, looks like the "Off Street Races" are simple line up and go. No stagger and doesn't like like it is timed. Basically just a king of the hill race with the all out fastest winning. Folks here will be happy to know that an 8 second R32 GTR won it in Qld.

Cruise sessions look to just be free form open track where you can drive the track (not at full speed) and have some fun shooting down the straight or around a corner before slowing down approaching the other cruisers.

Looks like has some exhibition stuff - jet drag truck in the QLD event, show -n- shine, etc.

I see it as $120 for 3 days is pretty cheap to have some fun.

anyways - hope to see you folks there. Look for my White R33 GTR.

Cheers.

    • New euro in the house for the wifey. Had to make sure it was good enough that I wouldn't mind driving it when needed. Introducing the 2021 JCW flamin mongrelryman. B48 2.0T 225kw 450nm 8spd AWD 0-100 in 5.1. 1/4 mile in the mid to high 13's. Not bad. It's a little animal on take off and zippy AF around town. She loves the thing and secretly so do I. Just got to pray to BMW Jesus that it doesn't do too many BMW things. Previous owner looked after it like a newborn. It's, I mean was absolutely unmarked and spotless.     360mm factory rotors with cooling ducts. Wonder if they'll stand up to track abuse...
    • It will happen, give it time. 🫢
    • Decent result Greg, sounds tuff AF👍   When is the Whipple or procharger getting fitted?😉
    • Oh there's no way in hell I'm doing it to modern cars. This was on some lancer shit box decades ago with silly gauges that started beeping when the voltage was outside of operating range
    • Not just stop start. New modern cars with their stupid "smart" alternators. Even funnier is watching cars when you drop them into eco mode. A lot of them don't crank the alternator up to full charge for very long at all. EVs and how they charge their 12V lead acid battery is even worse! Also, you should never disconnect the battery, on a running car. The voltage spikes can break things. Basically while it's a "battery" it is also considered a "Capacitor" within the charging system, and helps to keep those spikes non existent. Yay for alternators being inductive.
