How long do we have to get entries in? My stanza is off the road getting an L20B but time to finnish screwing it all together is sparse. I'm hoping to have it ready within a couple of months because I have to finnish painting my r31 thats sitting in the shed first. Too many projects, not enough time.

Does the car have to be road registered? Myself and two friends have built a supercharged gemini for motokarna / autocross events. We would like to learn some contol on this vehicle before entering into serious events. Can this vehicle be entered? We can make it appear to be road registered!

Also would like a rough Idea on how this event is filling up? When is the latest I can enter? (Yes I know earlier is better)

Sending my cheque and form tomorrow....

In regards to accomodation: I may be able to offer free squatting to anyone with a tent and sleeping bag on a friends block of land. This is in Merchison 1/2hr drive from Shep. I will be there, but will still hit the 'saloons' of Shep on Sat night with you guys!

Also, I've been to the skidpan/drags but never had the car on the track before. Will there be any form of tuition for beginers (ie instructors giving pointers etc)? And the main concern; is there much of a chance that I could completely fark my car up (not that I plan to go too hard)?

INASNT & riggaP: There are plenty of spots left and you can enter by PM'ing me your e-mail address.

As previously stated, this is NOT a training day. This day is designed to have fun with your car and is NOT a race/track day. But i am sure that if you ask other entrants who are more experienced, like Andrew (snowman), they would be able to give you some basic pointers.

There is always a chance to fark up your car, just like any other cruise. On the GOR you have the armco's (metal barriers) on one side and a cliff face on the other. At Macedon you had trees barely 2 feet from the road, on either side. Not to forget the amount of crap (mud, dirt, loose stones, branches, leaves, etc, etc.) on these roads. But has anyone farked up their cars, no because they drive within their limits. At DECA there are trees near the short track, but you would have to loose it pretty damn hard to hit them. There are other events on the day that utalise the massive skid pan, it is hear that you can go all out without fear of hitting anything.

JUST REMEMBER WE ARE ALL THERE TO ENJOY THE DAY AND HAVE A GREAT TIME.

1. Not sure. Current count is about 40.

2. Not sure what you are asking hear, but the day is planned to be a fun relaxing day for the entrants, with no pressure to become competitive.

3. You wouldn't ask such a question if you had ever run an event as big as this. Venue hire, insurance, flyers, club notifications, time tables, bbq, drinks, track layout, etc....

4. Car with a full tank of fuel, money for accomodation, food, etc., and whatever else you take on a cruise.

  • 3 weeks later...

Finally got my receipt back after 4 weeks. I was getting worried their for a second.

Al, I Was wondering if their would be time to change rear tyres between events. For example I would like to put crap tyres on for the skidpan and good semi comps for the circuit etc.

Let me know.. I should have a small pit crew to help.

Thanks Jarrod, saved me the trouble :)

Sorry about the delay :Oops:, unfortunately i have nothing to do with the financial side of things.

Well i am bringing up my four stockies as i do not wish to wear out my 19's at $500 a corner. :)

So i hope there is time, but alot of people will be doing the same thing, so there should be enough time.

LAST MINUTE ENTRYS ARE STILL GOING TO BE ACCEPTED AT THE GATES. SO IF ANYONE ELSE HAS NOT REPLIED TO THIS POST JUST ENTER AT THE DECA GROUNDS.

I am about to leave, so i will not log on till i come back.

If you wish to contact me just call my mobile: 0427076490.

PS: My company phone is bared from SMS'ing, so i will not be able to respond to any SMS messages.

C YA THERE!

Alan

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
