Bathurst Speed Weekend - December Now Open

[Clappa]

A V8, going down Conrod Straight... So in

[benm]

Pity, i'll need about an extra month to get my rig ready.

[msnismo]

lol, there he is

How about Dave TO4GTR?

Would be great to get a whole stack of GTR's to this

well seeing my car will be at the auto salon aka fashion show.... and dave will be working at OP as its the last round of the V8's..... il volunteer to bring his car

*over Dave's dead body more than likely*

Im allowed to take it by myself to work and stuffs... but to the Bathurst might be pushing it!!

Whats so good about the GTR's? LOL

I'd swap my black bish in a heartbeat for Daves car ... ....its sounds cool...and its sooo hard to drive which makes it all the sweeter

[Clappa]

Spanna..Your car is going to Auto Salon...

Well, if you want someone that pretty fussy to clean the inside, just call me..You've seen my car when its clean. Happy to help ya..

Whats wrong brad?

My car spilt its guts(water only) on the dyno today. Seems to be coming from the water pump area but will know more in a day or two. Still had oil pressure and no loud knocking noise so i got no idea.

[N1GTR]

How much water are we talking about?

Is it an N1 pump? Maybe check the elongated screw hole - you know the one that needs to be filled in as its a bit too long?

Yah... they are going for the kw's angle this time round... so I offered to lend my bish..

Might take you up on that!

BUt looking for a datto so bathurst isn't entirely out yet.... I missed out last year due to a spun bearing.... Just too many things on this one weekend!

[N1GTR]

So.....accomodation for friday and saturday nights?

[Abo Bob]

The Goldpanner was good last year.

[evil_weevil]

yeah basically organise your own accomodation

Unless someone wants to do it?

Last 2 years Ive stayed at a mates place, but see what happens this year.

Im actually heading up friday midday and coming back monday.

[Sinful]

Yeah Goldpanner is good and cheap , stayed there on my last hill climb

Will be in for this but wont put my entry in till after Dutton Rally..which will probably be too late

[N1GTR]

Anyone remember how much it was per night?

Would be nice to stay at that mt panorama resort, but it looks like they're insolvent

[evil_weevil]

Jess,

you could always call someone from blcc after and see if there are any spots left or a reserves list?

Ok i sould be in just picked up the car. Problem was welsh plug .

[S13Deviat]

Rims wrapped with RE55's on the way.... "lock me in eddy"!!!!

Just a few more items to add before hand but cant wait!!!! Especially pwning chubbs & clapa down conrod straight... *so not going to happen*

[NISMO]

Chubbs, and those who have been, does anyone attempt this on street rubber?

The car looks like it should be ready, oil cooler and boost controller tomorrow, with tune next week but now thinking it might be put off till next year, cause there's no way I'll get semis in time (funds and actual time)

I have personally not attempted Bathurst at high speeds (normal driving speed), but have tried both Oran Park and Wakey on streets and semis. Wakey is fine... plenty of room for 'failing', Oran Park on the other hand is quite scary on streets. There is simply a noticable difference between a street tyre and a semi, especially when cornering near walls (such as Bathurst).

This said my street tyres were Federal 595ss which were fine for about 2 laps of Oran GP. With the semis, it can take a lap for them to come up to temp....

So in short LOL.... if you get yourself a decent street tyre/semi... such as Federal 595ss or RT615's (something similar) I think you would have no reason not to attend.... as each event is simply a quick sprint... not consecutive laps...

It comes down how hard you want to drive. A semi will allow you to push the cornering/grip that extra 10-20%, but on a track like Bathurst, you would almost be silly to push it that hard.... I know i wont be!!

Thanks Ando,

Not having long runs was why i was thinking it should be ok.

+1 for not pushing to the limit. More than anything I want to drive Bathurst at a quicker than normal speed limit pace. That's about it. No track records from me :-)

The tires I have atm are Yokohama DNA GP, heaps of tread and handle pretty well.

[N1GTR]

Ill be on street tyres if that helps?

And they'll be worn down to (if not past, like usual) the indicators on the rears. Fronts will be good though

Using this as an excuse to finish off some street tyres ive got here before buying new ones

Will have a good amount of power but as you've both said, im not pushing it 100% either
