20/12/08 Willowbank Pre-test N Tune Session - 3 Hours


Recommended Posts

Any who wish to stay on for TNT after we finish are welcome to at no extra expense.

The time issue is this;

We originally hired a 3hr window due to the large interest showed at the enquiry stage to members about numbers.

QR set a minimum number of vehicles at 30 for a 2hr slot at a preset track hire rate, addition cost for extra hour/s above initial booking.

We did the math-carried the 5- and worked out an extra 10 cars would cover the next hr and not take time out of peoples runs on the strip from 30 into the 2hrs which was roughly 4 runs each.

When the paid numbers remained so far below the required target we nearly had to cancel the event.

It is with the true kindness that QR have displayed by allowing us to run without 30 cars in the first place that has enabled the Event to continue, however, we were unable to do an extra hour at the rates we have charged.

So, this comes as a request from me to 'you all' to allow us a 'bit of grace' with the changes we have had to make to get the event off the table & you into your cars to post some times, rather than cancel it altogether.

I hope this answers a few questions to any who are interested

$48 from 2pm to 4pm... I thought it was originally 1pm to 4pm??

this price still does not include Test'N'Tune afterwards right? Is there a discount if we stay for Test'N'Tune?

Willowbank set the price, not us.

40 cars - 3 hours. Everyone wanted drags, we gave them drags. Comes time to pay and no one is keen. Anything less then 40 cars is 2 hours (set by willowbank) just like the pricing

cmon ppl pay up and have a crack at the strip, i have paid yet i am unable to go. either way i have paid so if someone wants my spot as a chrissy present and i dont even know you then pm me and ill give you my spot for free. ill then let toddls know of who is taking my place. SOMEONE GO AND SUPPORT THIS DAMN EVENT. FOR FU#KS sake. I dont want QR to not let us have this event again due to lack of support. we are lucky to be going ahead with this at all!!!!

Sad times ehh...........

A previous pre-Test N tune I attended we were allowed to continue at no extra cost, just had to get reissued with a new racing number :P

Who knows, might lucky again.

Hey Guys, question on the spectators??

Is there a cost for extra spectators???

Like if I were to rock up with 5 people for example?

i have a feeling there is an extra cost , but im sure if we stop and organise it just before we get there we can shuffle our mates off to other cars with just a driver and get us all in for free

Edited by l0WRB

Come on. Who doesnt want to spank a glittery R34 down the strip!

Edited by coaster

for the record. im taking my glittery possibly stock turbo standard ecu r34 down the strip. come and prove this thing is slow. i dare you!

Havent confirmed with sau but im sure they wont turn down any of the spot payments??? Come for a squirt against some of the fastest cars on track! Wish i still had my old one.

lol ok...

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
