Hi the names Rod,For those who are interested the Pittsworth Sprints are on in September 6th and 7th.

I am unsure of the how one goes about entering the competition but I do believe it is open to everyone.

Addmission to the track is $5 and all the proceeds go to the local hospital,so it is going to a good cause.

For those who don't know where Pittsworth is it is approximately 40km South West of Toowoomba.

The town has plenty of pubs and motels as well as a caravan park so accomodation should be plentifull ,I would suggest you pre book accomodation just to be on the safe side.

I have never been to the event myself but from what I have heard it is a real buzz.

Maybe we could get a few interested in going and make it a cruise to Pittsworth and a cruise back.

Your thoughts on the idea.

Hi Slip if you ring the local council in Pittsworth and speak to someone in regards to the track,or they may be able to put you on to someone who can tell you a bit about it.

I actually went up there for a drive yesterday but was not to sure what constituted the track,but the road we thought might be track wasn't to bad.

I have been told they are timed events so you are actually racing against the clock.

The number is 0746932455

Hi guys pittsworth is just down the road from me and i attended the sprints last year. That track is basically, what you would expect from local street and cordoned off. There were quite a few imports last year and a 33GTR holds the lap record.

I will be spectating this year, hope to see some of you there.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
