once again it's been a while since i've been - when i used to go to at EC it was on only once or twice a month.

whats it like out there now its every week? many people from this forum still head out?

I think benm regularly attends to spectate
Sure do -although- last week I actually went to race after spending over an hour in the scrutineering line and then another hour in the line ready to race (whilst moving a whole 3 spots forward) to then watch it piss down.

Which reminds me.... I gotta ring them to find out about my ticket from last week, they said i'd receive something in the mail but I haven't.

If you plan on going to race get there early (ie 4pm).

Well another packed out nite at WSID (I think I need to go to WSID Anonymous). :wassup:

Arrived at 6pm to spectate to discover 160+ competitors waiting out the back. It was a 4 lane carpark all the way past the scrutineering and back to the Pit Entry Lane. A friend waited 2hrs to get his first run to end up with 3 runs from 5pm->10pm. They actually sent competitors home whom arrived late because their was too many to begin with. I think they are going to need to change the starting time to something earlier to cut off the competitors at about 120 :wave:

Didn't see many Skylines there :Oops: Their was a black R33 GTS-t doing 13.5-14.0's all night which looked to be fairly stock. A blue LJ doing low 9's (NOS Assisted), the Hayabusa was doing 9's. Afew pack cars in the 8/9's. Afew Comonwhores with some broken gearbox/clutches :aroused:

Good nite of racing and an excellent crowd (bigger than the "Drag Combat" Event held last Saturday).

Had a guy in a little Corolla trying to drag me the whole way home on the Hwy. Got about 1km from home and realised it was a mate :headspin:

WSID havnt got it right yet in letting people know that it was tickets only last night at the competitors entrance yesterday, i was with my gtr on a trailer waiting for 2 hours to get in the back but security would let anyone in with out a ticket, security almost got bashed by some lebos who has the shi*s, and the line up was rediculous, esspecialy when people bring there stock vk holdens and think they gonna run 10s all night, just a note to all the poeple who take there stock geminis and other stock vehicles," if you havnt moded your car or tuned it for the night dont take it down casue when you gt on the line and pop your cluch and have to be towed away you ruin it for everyone else who has to wait for whours till you get you car towed off the line and have to clean up the mess.

if you havnt moded your car or tuned it for the night dont take it down cause when you get on the line and pop your cluch and have to be towed away you ruin it for everyone else who has to wait for hours till you get you car towed off the line and have to clean up the mess.
In all honesty I seen 3 cars have issues from 6pm->10pm. Each of them took around 3-4mins to be removed, even the quickest car of the nite had an issue (parachute let go after the burnout).

It's the d1ckheads in the Magna's with the shopping trolley wings that do a 150m burnout (with no smoke) that are more to blame of holdups.

yeah thats true, magnas should get banned, esspecially with those stupid shopping trolleys, that dont help to break the 19sec pass

Actually it was doing 15's the same as 300kw HSV's :wassup:

If you wanting to "ban" cars ban the <10sec cars, but then again thats what brings in the crowd.

If I was JR i'd be having 100 cars on Wed nite and 100 cars on Fri nite but just make it 5pm-9pm or something.

yeah well yeah well like i said prepare your self for the track dont just rock up like your going to the movies. have what you need ready and run your time. i mean it in a good way, and hope everyone the best of luck, ill be there next week at midday waiting to get it.

anyone takign their gtr down to the creek next week>?

    • The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.
    • Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine  
    • Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
    • I used to love going to Amaroo to watch the HQ series go for broke (eventually stopped due to lack of spare parts) and also the Porsche series.  It was so cool to back your car up to nearly the edge of the viewing barrier and party with your friends, having a bbq and alcoholic/non drinks. It was such a family/mates atmosphere
