*|aunch puts his hand up for Jamboree attendance :D*

Just as an aside, who will be heading out to the Queensland 500? It is on at the Willowbank Motorsport area (basically, same place as the Jamboree), but the week before. The whole show goes from 13-15 of September, with lots of different support races (Formula Ford, Porsche, MGF Trophy, Saloon Cars, Sports Sedans). Should be a good couple of days... I can't wait to see the V8's get out and stretch their legs :D

*Someone Please Explain*

Can I enter the actual event? I know I do not have the quickest car but if its based on ET's times I would be keen on entering.

And yes I read the whole http://www.jamboree.com.au/ Web site but could not work out weather there is a ET class.

I also noticed

quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"7.00 AM- 1.30 PM Drag racing time trials Session (1) (NO race cars permitted)"

And

"2.00 PM Drag Racing time trials Session (2)(No vehicles with treaded drive tyres permitted)"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So is the whole day based on the fastest or ET's?

As mines an Auto I know pretty well what I will do down the quarter.

Regardless I am going.

Would also be a great day to do a Photo Shoot.

Not to mention a good time to have some sort of Flyer/Card/Sticker to entice new members.

MRE Glad to see you haven't written it off yet. I believe the comp is bracket racing but I could be wrong. You can print out an entry form from the Jamboree site I think it was $50 + you pay for the day licence and crew member at the gate. Come join the fun I'm expecting Birty to organise a cheerleader squad. :D

Answer for MRE

If it is like it has been in the past....You will have the morning to see how the car goes and work out a time. Then when the racing starts you will have to nominate your dial in. Then its just a matter beating the other person to the line without going over your dial in.

Don't set the dial in too low or your head start will be slashed against cars that are faster and you will not beat them.

Basically this is about consistancy not outright best time.

      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.
