Hey all,

Got a note about this today, would be good to see some more Skylines there;

What : Point to Point, single release sprint over 1000m in a straight line

When : Saturday, 22nd October, 2011

Where : Temora Aviation Museum, Temora Airport, Temora

...

Time : Arrival Time TBA.

DRIVERS BRIEFING AT TBA

Cost : $125 per person (maximum two entrants per car)

Number of Entants : 120

Entries : Entries will be taken from 8am on Wednesday, 1st June, 2011. There are 120 spots/entries available. Entries will be taken in the order they are recieved. PAYMENT MUST BE MADE AT TIME OF ENTRY with reciept number as proof of entry paid.

IMPORTANT POINTS

1) All participants must hold a Level 2 Speed CAMS license at a minimum. This will require you to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club

2) THIS IS NOT A BURNOUT COMP. THERE WILL BE NO TYRE WARMING WHAT SO EVER. IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE IN BURNOUTS, PLEASE ATTEND WSID ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

3) CARS WILL BE CHECKED OVER BY A CAMS SCRUITNEER ON THE DAY. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE REGO'D, BUT DO HAVE TO PASS SCRUITINEERING.

4) There will be a fire/rescue crew onsite

5) There will be no refunds on entries once paid. If for whatever reason you cannot attend once entered, you need to sell your spot to someone

6) We are basing this event as 6+ runs per person

7) ANY DRIVING ON AT THE EVENT, NOT IN THE SPIRIT OF THE DAY, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE. WE WILL BE RUNNING SUCH A TIGHT DAY, THAT WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR PEOPLE BEING IDIOTS. There is a massive difference between having fun, driving well and enjoying yourself and wrecking the day for others because you are wasting time

8) Passangers are no allowed for the events this year.

9) No Motorbikes or Karts

10) Timing will be done with proper point-to-point timing equipment similar to a special stage on a rally

We already have national magazine coverage and are also in discussion with a National TV network and program. Any further media enquires, please contact us via the email address below

Having planned this event for the last 18 months, we are under no illusions that this event will fill very quickly. We have everything from road registered Honda's, toyota's and Commodores to high end, old and new european and us muscle and exotica, with also a good mix of Road and race cars

MORE DETAILS WILL BE PUT UP OVER THE NEXT WEEK, INCLUDING FULL SUP REGS, ACCOMODATION DETAILS, AND SPONSORS

If you have any questions, please free to email [email protected]

Also something else to think about, what sort of trap speed and elapsed time does everyone think a build GTR is likely to reel off?

Here's something as a sort of benchmark;

Im setting a goal of a 21 for myself

I'm interested,,,never drag raced the Radical let alone straight lining her over 1000 metres and Temora's only a 5 to 6 maybe 7 hour tow with breaks.

Think I'll sent an e-mail to them for more info.

Funny there's no website link at all or who's sanctioning it.

Cheers

Neil.

Trap speeds listed seem low?? I admit to know NOTHING about drag racing, having done 1 wednesday night, but I was pulling 170 at 400, I know that does not equate to 570k at 1000, but I would have though even mine would be closer to 240-250 based on our local supersprint... will hopefully find out at Temora... Mate with a 280+rwkw 180 coming as well, should be good fun!

Cool will be good to see some other SAU guys there. What car will you have?

32 V spec II, currently only N1s and the usual pods/exhaust, by then a PFC, maybe injectors.. So will be under 300awkw, but I just love any chance to use the thing properly. Sounds like it might be a popular event..

I might turn up, have to check my work calendar, but I'm not that far away from it [180km]. Would be good to see what my Gtst can do.

When do entries close?

And what do i have to do to have a Level 2 Speed CAMS license? Is it OK for a general pleb like me?

Sounds pretty nice!!!

I'm going to book accommodation soon so if you and your mate want to stay in the same place with some other skyline guys let us know

With 125 entries available I'll be shocked if it doest sell out almost straight away

Entries open next week according to Adam, the only way to get a form is to email them before entries open.

L2S is as simple as joining saunsw and then filling out 2 forms and sending them away. Usual waiting time is 4 weeks, there's forms on the cams website that you can fill out once you're a member of a cams car club (eg saunsw)

If you have a drama filling it out, don't be afraid to ask!

I'm already a fully paid up member of SAU so I guess I'll have to ask someone for the forms.

I'll email the organisers and get a form!

Edit: did anyone post this in the NSW section? ! did it for ACT.

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 😛
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
