so what events are avaiable to compete in? I've only been to Easternats once and i know there's an 1/8mile drag and a lap cruise of sandown - what other events are there?

And what requirements do you need to be able to drive in those events?

thanks in advance

yea i be going to easternats doing the ride around the track do i have to fill out a form to go on the track or just the drag and burnout comps??? getting my car prep this week end for it new rear suspension going in next week and doing brakes and general service if i have enough cash maybe get a tune as well :D

You need to enter, tick the box's you want to compete in, even if your only doing the track cruise it will still cost you $200 to enter.

go to whoa, stampede, burnouts, drags and cruising, i think the drags are the only ones that require a helmet.

do they camp at the entrances and get ya on the way in and out? If thats the case then f*k that....i'm staying the hell away from there!!

I went a few years ago and they were watching people enter, leave and drive around the pits, when ever they saw one that was too loud they would write down the rego and you would get an epa notice in a week or two, best bet is to pull off your plates and rego label and trailer it or get there really early on friday and pull them off then leave it in the secure car park for the weekend.

Actually thinking about entering my whale...but if I do you blokes had better come up and say HI! or else....failing that plan ill def be trashed in the crowd somewhere on at least 1 of the days LOL...

if ur goin to enter, dowhat i did. trailer ur car there and back, take plates and rego sticker off b4 u leave home its the safest way. and do not do wat a few guys did last year and park the tow car and trailer out side and drive the car out of the paddock to the trailer... as u will get reemed!!!!! for all they guys that r entering hop u guys have fun and have better luck than i did last year cheers.

hmm so who's going but not entering in the events? u guys gonna convoy down?

I will be going for one day, not entering and not even taking my car there.

I agree.

I had a look at the entry form and they require a photo of the car, the year i entered they didnt have that, had a lot of shitters there in primer and multi colored, bout time they tried to weed out the shitters and upped the quality of cars, after all i think they max out the entries every year dont they, the least they could do is send the shitters to the back of the queue and tell them to come back late on friday, if there is still spots they get in.

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
