Hi Guys

I am organising another day at lakeside for the 30th of August :)

Format of the day will consist of 5 groups of 5 - 6 cars, doing sprints (staggered starts). 1 out lap, 5 hot laps and 1 in lap, with each driver getting about 20 hot laps provided there are no mishaps on the day.

This event is capped at 30 cars maximum.

As per usual, AASA licenses and appropriate head to toe clothing is a must. Towing and Medical will also be available on the day.

The cost is $140, or $150 if paid on the day.

First come first served :) Those who are interested can contact me either here, or on 0400 813 419.

Regards,

Ian

Ian,

Can you give me some info about obtaining the AASA licence please...

Thanks

Mike.

Hey mate. To obtain the licence all you have to do is fill out a form. Day licences are available but they are not economic if you are going to be doing multiple events, in which case a years licence is $55.

Hi everyone

I have finished putting together a small website for this event. It can be found at http://sprintbrisbane.dnsdynamic.com/Sprints.aspx

I have taken advantage of paypals API to provide credit card processing facilities for those who prefer not to do internet banking. It should also be a good place to go for further information about this event.

This event will make an excellent shakedown for anyone who is wanting to test prior to japnats. Cars on the track should be fairly minimal allowing you to get the most from your laps. There should never be any more then 6 cars on the track at a time.

Hey Ian,

I should be able to make the pushed back date. I will call you once I know for sure.

Cheers,

Ben.

No worries mate. Look forward to speaking to you :)

Hey yohoRB26

To obtain an AASA licence, all that is required is for you to fill out a form and to pay a small fee - There are two options available, a day licence which costs $25 and covers you for the day, or an annual fee of $55. I personally recommend people go for the yearly option as it is much better value for money.

The safety requirements are fairly basic. Obviously your vehicle must be in a safe condition, with no fluid leaks, particularly no oil leaks, but otherwise we have no special requirements for makings for battery, tow hook etc. On a personal note, you require a long sleeve shirt, full pants, and covered in shoes, along with a ADR approved helmet - otherwise, there are no requirements. The event is designed to be one which suits street cars, so mostly you just roll up, pay your fee, put on your helmet and on you go.

In regards to spots on the day, we should be able to accommodate you :)

If I can be of any further help, please ring me on 0400 813 419 or contact me via pm :)

Hope helps :)

Regards,

Ian

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
