Meh, i would feel like a tool if i had someone drive my car in Clubsprint. It would be a bit like courting a girl for months, spending thousands on dinners, weekends away and gifts. Then when she takes her panties off and says " do nasty things to me..." you jump on the phone and get the Beer Baron in to deflower her for you.

Even if i got it horribly wrong the 8 or 9 times i tried i bet i would still be having more fun then if watching Beer Baron reap rewards for my hard work!

I'm the same, but to each their own I guess! I want to know how fast I can go in my car, not just how fast my car can go.

However if it were a car respresenting my business then I could definitely understand a ring in for the added exposure of doing well, especially if the business has something to do with motorsport.

If it's a shop/business/company that wants good exposure and a good result by having a gun driver brought in, then they can run in Open or Pro class.

Clubsprint class should enforce the rule of matching name on registration paper with driver name. If not so, then you go into Open class.

Thinking about it, I think the essence of this event is more focussed toward the vehicle, as opposed to the vehicle owner's pace.

I can understand if a workshop want to demonstrate the relative pace of their modifications on a road tyred street car to it's best by utilising a good ring in driver, given in most workshop cases there isn't one on staff.

I think trying to police whom is driving what can get very difficult by the time everyone is wearing a helmet.

geez did a 35 driver shit in your cereal or something... your not a fan!

remember its early days with 35 tuning... wait til there's 1000hp monsters 4 wheel powersliding around the track;)

kind of sorta did..

Sounds like this event isn't for you, I'm sure there are heaps of drift events around where you can get your 'fix'.

And far as you having no idea, we won't hold it against you..... :D

1. not at eastern creek theres not

2. i love superlap.. i missed it the first year, i absolutly loved it last year, and cant wait for this year.. i just mean from a spectator, watching people get so close to the limit and really pushing themselves and the car for that very best time is awesome.. i remember last year watching the red r32 gtr, i think it was a rigoli car, lay 2 thick black lines on every exit of the final turn onto the main straight... not smoky, full countersteer, sideways drift... but it was scrabbling for traction and just gently heading for the wall...

and seeing the hi octane r34 with wisps of smoke from the rear tyres coming up and over the hill... he could go no faster and push no harder, 110% effort

the r35s are too clean and clinical... and quiet.

hahahaha... right on... wheres the fun factor for the guys that pay others to do all the work to their car, then get someone else to drive it.... although, on the other hand... im open to taking your money to buy parts and fit them for you, then thrash your car around the track for you... more than happy... hell, ill even drive it for free...

I think trying to police whom is driving what can get very difficult by the time everyone is wearing a helmet.

Yeah, dead right there. I guess people will know and see who's driving the wheels off their car, whether they be a ring in pro or owner driver.

I find at the track if you lay down a good time, people come and find out a bit about you and the car.

I was actually talking shit as always. :( You would be stoopid to give me the keys anyway :(

The only way i could possibly afford it is if my mate calls off the wedding in Scotland which means my June-July trip to Europe with the car gets called off. No way i could afford the airfares back to Aus and event entry only 4 weeks before :D LOl I am actually canvassing mates who want to come on this car trip...but worst case i will pick up a cheap hooker in Amsterdam to keep me company...hell she could be my date for the wedding too :)

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
