Me and my mates are gunna go down in a few weeks, But they are just waiting on me to get my car back on the road, So if i get it back before then we should cruise down.

[Jetdat]

thats the same night that i will be down there..

whats with the 7:00pm registration? in the days of old we would get there around 5pm.. but that was like 10 years ago..

[cheez]

i dunno bout 7pm, i just use that as a convienient time to meet there and register out cars. cars have to be registered not later than 9pm to race on the nyt.

[R33silverS2]

Hey Daniel how many runs do you get for the $65?

[R31Nismoid]

7pm can get towards the busy end as thats when most people arrive.

If you get there about 6.30pm - you can usually get out on the track and have 5-7 good runs before many more cars come out

But then Calder isnt as busy anymore due to muppet management, so you might be ok

[SLYNE]

calder is shit dont wast your time

1.shit track

2.pathetic price

3.long waits

Heathcote FTW

Why dont you all go to Heathcote on a Sunday meet up at like 9pm at Kmart in Cambo and depart from there

1 hour to get ther, $45 to run and you can run with a passenger.. Privately owned so no bullshit and is a good environment, and there is no waiting to run...

I believe its worth it

[R31Nismoid]

lol heathcote ftw?

Heathcote is a shocking track, suraface hasnt been touched since it was laid 25-30 years ago.

Only thing going for it is the price.

[Jetdat]

we go to heathcote as a club about twice a year and its a lot of fun in many ways.

however what isnt alot of fun at heathcote is the frustratingly slow times with the track lacking traction.

i want to go to calder a couple of times to get a better indication of what my car does..

[SLYNE]

i run a better time at heathcote then calder

My uncle also ran a better time at Heathcote

Calder - 13.1

Heathcote - 12.7

319rwkw!

[R33silverS2]

Yeh the price is pretty bad, but I'm pretty keen to take my car to the strip whether it be calder or heathcote. My car only ever sees 8:00am and 5:30pm traffic these days

[cheez]

was at calder 2 weeks ago and there were plenty of cars and a reasonable crowd too. if people wanna meet up earlier to run im happy to do that. all i know is that on the 29th ill be running down there, if there are more skylines there then we can all have a ball together and see who gets bragging rights.

SLYNE: your right bout heathcote being a reasonable track tho the moeny you waste in petrol to go there you dont save enought to be worth while. plus calder is close.

R33SilverS2: the longer you stay the better the niht gets, more rubber gets laid down as the night wears on and the air gets cooler. in a good night you might get 10+runs if u stay til the end, on a busy night, 5?

[R33silverS2]

^^ what time did your stock 34 run last time?

[LTHLRB]

id be up for it if i had a twin plate.. having no money sucks balls

[R31Nismoid]

i run a better time at heathcote then calder

My uncle also ran a better time at Heathcote

Calder - 13.1

Heathcote - 12.7

319rwkw!

Doesn't mean a lot to me... especially with 300rwkw... unless your driving a 2tonne beast, 300rwkw is 11's territory

Shows an inconsistent (and slow car) as opposed to the track IMO.

Cant base track condition of a time slip from either track.

Proves nothing of prep level, temperature on the day, prior/current weather conditions etc etc.

Lots to take into account than a ET

[cheez]

^^ what time did your stock 34 run last time?

havent run it yet, but i would think that it would run mid 14's.

Hey guys, long time no see, I see you have a new ride daniel too, good work, looks very nice

but yer since i was last on here the Lil' Zilla has seen a 550hp Walbro intank pump (xmas pressie) and

now a Wolf 3D, it made 200.4 ATWkw's on 17psi, i was pretty happy with that to say the least.

Will try and get some pics of the dyno sheet etc on here sometime soon.

neway back to the point in hand, sounds like this could be a good idea Heathcote or Calder, as long as i can

drive fast and not have to worry bout flashing lights in my rear view mirror, sounds good to me.

i'll see whats happening and get back to ya on whether i'll race.

Good to hear your've had good results with the sr20 . My bro sold his s15, that you would have seen on a few of the cruises, and bought a 32 gtr in gunmetal, I think he was somewhat inspired from your dads car...
