Wondering if there are many skylines [or other vehicles of course] heading up to Queensland raceway for the 20th sep saturday afternoon sprints ... wondering what the format is???? was wanting to do a few laps. Can this be done without competing in the sprint series. [dont feel like punishing the poor thing that much yet!] What time does everyone arrive etc, is there a run through of rules and regs etc???

Dont worry bout your lap times. If you're running a new car in Just ask to be put in the slow bracket and go enjoy yourself.

Zennon wont be going saturday but you should have fun.

Make sure you pre-enter as entering on the day is a thing of the past.

Last time I went (27-Aug) was on a Wednesday.

Wednesday's are heaps better because there are less cars and you get to do the clubman and the sprint track.

Anyway there was 4 skylines (including me), 6 porches, 3 rotaries, 4 new minis, and a few others.

Cant even remember what time it is on saturdays.. think briefly is around 12 or something or maybe

Use to have to get there early so get a pit spot but these days they allocate pit spots based on when you enter

(hence fax your entry form in early!)

Remember to wear natural material long pants and long shirt (not plastic thats melt to your body) :)

In the old days it was three sessions which each had 1 warm up lap, 5 hot laps, 1 cool down lap,

and then if they had enough time (didn't pull people out of the kitty litter etc) you get a 4th go..

These days I think it is very rare to get a 4th session in due to amount of people...

Anyway enjoy!

Saturday arvo's are shit Duncan. You are flat out getting a couple of track sessions because of the numbers.

There is far better value in the wednesday sprint and even better value still in the time attack sprint sereis run by Mountain runner on these forums. Its a tad more exy but you will get more than double the track time over the qr events.

You dont have to enter the Time Attack series to go with Mountain Runner, he has groups according to experience and also has a beginner lecture for newbies that gives you a good idea on whats what out there on the track.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
