Volunteer! Then stay Saturday night.

Seriously. Volunteering gets you the best seats to watch, plus you can get free spins in peoples cars after the battles are over (bring a helmet, or borrow on the day).

Just so we are clear its free spins as a passenger.

That's a good link mate! I've never been able to allow a proper cure time coz I don't have enough tyres to keep racing on the first day.

+1 for this, I managed this for my re55's and now they stick like s**t.

Use a practice day to get them up to temp, then "practice" the rest of the day on your roadies.

3. Vehicles

• Cars presented to the scrutineer not ready for competition will be denied entry to the event.

• Cars must be considered ‘roadworthy’ and will be subjected to an examination.(Scrutineering)

• Tyres must be roadworthy to enter the road events on the DECA highway circuit.

• Seatbelts must be fitted to the vehicle and must comply with the current Australian Standards.

• All loose objects must be removed from the vehicle

• Tyres other than designated road tyres (Slicks) may be used and times will be recorded but you will not be eligible

for any awards

• All vehicles must be equipped with a minimum 900gram fire extinguisher securely mounted inside the vehicle with a

metal bracket. Extinguishers must comply with the Australian Standard – AS 1841 and not be more than five years

old.

If it is screwed in or cable tied it will not pass. It must be bolted in.

If "loose" objects are defined as anything that is not bolted in, what about items that are in the boot such as a stereo? I have gear that is screwed in, so does that mean this must come out as well? Thanks.

If it's very well mounted it may be ok. I would take it out regardless.

If not done already can you please group us guys.... If it's not too late.

Thanks Russman,

I'll take it out just to be sure. My idea of well mounted may differ from the opinion of the scrutineer's :devil:. My intent was to run the car in full street trim where possible so that I get a realistic idea of how the car handles for once it's back on the road.

Don't worry. A 10kg subwoofer won't drastically upset you're handling. :devil:

Hah, you should see Gary Swift's Soarer. Got enough subs, amps, party speakers and lights in the boot to out weigh the engine.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
