I will book there too then, let me know when you book.

I dont know if they will let me have the ext gate? it might be too loud? i took the car out yesterday and it sounds so shit now without it, and i don't really know when to change gears now. I am trying to sort out my CAI and front brake cooling this weekend and i am over it already. I am searching for ideas.

Did you get your harness sorted out?

[Michele]

Guys don't leave helmets etc in cars at night, take them into your room. Had someone tell me their car was smashed into and lost all their helmets, suits etc while they were there.

Before I bought the enclosed trailer, I was still carting my car around on the back of a truck & took daughter to movies there in the middle of the day and didn't even make the walk to the theatre before turning back to find my open wheeler covered in 10-15yo kids. Made me noiiivous.

[evil_weevil]

Ryan - nah havent sorted out the harness. I'll leave it for bathurst.

Oh, we have booked!

so book book book haha

Michele - Always do already!

i cant get hold of the bathurst light car club and i was wondering if should waist my time sending of my sending of my entry

thanks tim

[evil_weevil]

Tim,

Best bet would be to get a phone number off the sup regs, and give them a call tomorrow

Christine Wells is them one to speak with

[Duncan]

just send in the entry, they will let you know if they are full but it is still far enough out I think you will be OK

[evil_weevil]

speaking of entering - how you going Druncan?

team raceworx going to be in attendance?

ok thanks i was calling the number of the site ill tyr the sup reg for a different number

[timsr33]

ive started filling in the form but i dont no if my car is a

type 3 over 3lt

or a sv over 3lt which class do youse run

and does any one no how big the fire extinguisher has to be ive got a 1 kg in my car at the moment is that big enough

thanks tim

[Duncan]

only locally delivered cars are eligible for class 3 so unless its a 32 gtr you are in SV (from your profile looks like 33 gtr?)

capacity for gtr is 2.6 x 1.7 for turbos = 4.42l

[Duncan]

hmm that is a tricky question.

we are 100% in on 2 small conditions

1/ the car is running

2/ there is a spare spot available by then.

I long ago gave up entering events hoping the car will be ready

Engine is finally getting sealed on Wednesday night, it has taken ages because the rules have changed, we even need to get the cams measured, placed in a sealed bag and picked up by the engine sealer. and head cc-ed. and deck and head height measured. all in addition to the old inspection and bore and stroke measurement.

anyway, motor back in the car next weekend. Then run in, tune and a big wheel alignment (all bushes changed since it was last run). As long as all that is done before the event sells out we will be there with bells on.

And if we do make it, it will be the first event running more than stock boost (12psi), we have finally been allowed to run a boost controller to ensure it stays to 12 psi for race events. Which means we can dial in some proper boost for this (say, 36psi?) or maybe just 18-20 lol

[timsr33]

thanks for the help duncan

i just have one more question are you aloud to run semi slicks or do you have to run road tyres

[S13Deviat]

thanks for the help duncan

i just have one more question are you aloud to run semi slicks or do you have to run road tyres

You can run whatever you choose i beileve. Evil Weevil is running street/semis RT615;s, I am running full semi RE55's and I think VZSS is running full slicks or streets.

But this said it has been discussed which way is best to go. Reason being, a semi slick may not get upto temp/pressure in the 'lead up' and actual sprint. Unlike time attack on an actual race track, you dont get a couple of laps to get temp into the tyres.

Depending on how much temp you get into the semis it could be better to go a street version IE RT615's. I am going RE55's cause i dont want to go buy a set of street semis just for this event..... SSOOOOO in short, up to you and what you feel comfortable on...

[Duncan]

yeah you only have about 1min to get everything up to temp. they at least let you do a ful sik burnout to warm the rears but it still wont be enough for medium or hard semis.

i'll be running yoko a048rs too so they might be warm by the end of each run. even cold i think they are better than street tyres, just run a few psi more than normal.

tyres will affect which class you are in 2(road)/3(semis)/4(slicks) if you are not in SV.
