I assumed that the day would begin at 5pm (followed the link in this thread, it said 5pm then realized that was for drift)

The Mallala website is useless.

This only information I could find was this flyer:

http://www.mallala.com/startyourengines/PTD%20Brochure.pdf

Which must be about something else as it is $495 per day, but says that the session starts at 8:30am.

So i guess I will call them tomorrow to get all the details, does it start at 8:30 or 5? and why isn't that information readily available on their website?

you'd think you could click on the event you were interested in on the website and it would give you details, or at least that the details would be SOMEWHERE on the site.

Jeez it's late.

Hi All,

Just called mallala, spoke to Pete, asked for some info, he said the session tomorrow starts at 8:30 but he was not sure about cost. I asked him if the prices on the website for 2008 were unchanged (i.e. $100 + $25 for the CAMS license for the day) He said that was probably what it would be.

We both agreed the website was useless.

Clem is the guy with all the info but he won't be there until lunch time, but tomorrow definitely starts at 8:30 am and the cost will be approximately $125.

Will post more info if I end up speaking to Clem later on.

Hope to see some other skylines out there, I'd hate to be representing on my own :P

Since it's an 8:30 start how about BP west Tce at 7:15, head out at 7:30. It takes roughly an hour to get there. If anyone is keen to meet up PM me and we'll exchange details.

The Caltex on Port Wakefield road, Bolivar is a good place to meet, last stop to fill up and get food, etc.

Please don't put Caltex in your car, go across the road to BP. My R32GTR with caltex fuel and 4000rpm = knocking at 82. BP fuel and 7000rpm = knocking at 20.

Hey all,

I was out there today (someone had to represent). Was pleasantly surprised to find a few of our brethren there. RBWARE was there and so was BANNED, Plus another R32 GTR (silver one, forgot the dude's name). There was also one other 33 on the track besides me, Charcoal one with black wheels.

Was good fun, Stock brakes did alright, after 15 mins of hard use they gave up though but there were one hour intervals between runs so they had plenty of time to cool off between runs. They were fine again at the beginning of the next round.

I was sorely dissapoitned in my cheap ass tires. Pirelli's or Toyo's next time.

There was a good mixture of cars, some old school (Datsun 1600 running an FJ turbo, Old escort, old corolla, datsun 240z) some newer (our skylines, evo 7, evo 9) some brand spankers (350z, focus turbo, civic type r, evo 10). There was one R34 GTR track car but that didn't go on at the same time.

My exhaust looked brand new after that's how clean it was, apparently my car was shooting flames occasionally.

Some photos:

My exhaust is sooooooo clean!!

About to get on the track:

Cooling off....

Sadly this thing didn't get out there

These did:

So did this:

If you haven't been before I HIGHLY recommend it, brilliant fun and you don't have to worry about breaking anything, you don't have to go all out, my third run I took it easier but still had a good time. The safety rules make it hard to have an accident and even if you come off the track, you're only in the sand, no damage done. I'd liek to see more of us there next time.

Total cost was $125 for the track and a 1 day CAMS license, plus $50 bucks for a full tank of BP ultimate, I had a quarter of a tank left at the end of the day and I only did 4 out of the 6 rounds.

Good clean fun!

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
