What do you need to do the sprints. Is it the same as the drags, helmet, long sleeve shirt, long pants and enclosed shoes or do you need a race suit and shoes ?

Im pretty keen once I get the car soughted to bring her out for a run.

what you have said is all you need, a race suit is not necessary.

PS how did people go?

I had a freakin fantastic time. I'm really happy with my times, I ran a 68.4, with my pretty standard 34GTT. (fmic, cai, 3" exhaust, tein type RA's, street tyres)

In my first time out there...nervous as hell... I flog it out of the pits hit the first corner at about 120 and pull off a 720 degree spin lol... I was a bit scared of that corner for the next few laps hehe.

I was probably one of the slower cars there, but i still had a great time. It makes me think about spending lots more and grabbing an oil cooler and semi slicks...but I dont think I would be out there enough to make it worth it.

Lakeside was dead set magical. As good a Phillip Island for sheer rush, it just keeps throwing itself at you so fast you have little time to deal with one corner before you need to concentrate for setting up the next. Easily one of the top 2 dedicated tracks in the country. It has been 21 years since I last raced Formula Ford there.....even scarier now I'm old and not bulletproof anymore :whistling:

Be interesting to see how all the lap times compare since the surface tratment on the track. Has anyone done a before and after compare without modifying their car ? I have started new hall of fame for the Time Attack guys so that all records are on the same surface as such.

a mate of mine who runs there all the time and has been stuck in the low 61 for the past few meets, set a new PB of 60.5. so the sealing doesn't seem to have hurt the track at all. he hasn't changed the car, but has lost 12kg himself, which wouldn't hurt but I doubt its responsible for the time improvement.

      Hi and welcome. What are you planning to do to the car or will you keep it stock?

      Fake ARP bolts?

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Heaps of historical info on this, a quick Google gave dates back to 2012, all talk about identification markings, dimples, shapes of mounting surfaces, washers, that are concave or something to match the fasteners mounting surface, which ARP states that if the washer, if it uses a washer in its application, isn't the right way around, it can cause premature failure,  even if it was torqued up correctly with whatever lube is meant to be used There is even talk about getting the bolts Xrayed to check the structure, one was about some builder getting multiple sets of bolts, having them Xrayed, and picking from those results Nowadays identical "looking" fake parts, in identical looking fake packaging are everywhere, with all the markings and stuff, the only way you know they are not legit is Xray or when they fail I assume if you don't want fake parts, and don't have a Xray machine handy, is to get them directly from ARP in the USofA, aftermarket rod and head bolts aren't something to take for granted  Imagine building a big dollar build only to find you lunch it because of an inferior fake fixture let go 😫

      RB gearbox options

      It's in the bloody domain name twice! Yes...the GTR boxen have, for some reason, been cheaper than the RWD boxen for a long time. 10 years ago the GTST box was available here for <AU$3k. 5 years ago the GTT box was available for ~AU$3300. Both retail through 3rd party. Now the GTT box is >4k locally and only available for less if you're willing to jump through some hoops. Apparently they can be ordered from Nissan dealers for $3-3.5k at trade pricing. A friend of mine has a new GTT box sitting on his showroom floor that I keep wanting to hit him up for but I'd somewhat rather he sold it to someone else at his asking price than to me for a mate's rates discount.
