Hey Guys,

This is your invitation to attend the Sparco Academy - a one day motorsport event being held half way between Gold Coast and Brisbane.

We usually get a few SAU Members out to our days, but this one is pretty special so i figured it was worth a post!

Expect a full day of non-stop action out at the track, with training and events designed to hone your skills, followed by a "top 8" battle at the end of the day, with winners taking home a range of Sparco prizes.

We have Professional V8 Supercar Driver Steve Owen and Exedy Pro Drifter Levi Clarke available on the day for classroom sessions and even one-on-one training on track.

Anyone with a safe and well maintained car that is not silly-loud is eligable, groupings are based on driver skill and overall car power so the big boys can battle it out, while the beginners can practice!

Earlybird Pricing until the 26th is only $190.

After then it goes back to the normal price of $250.

This includes all classroom training, 4+ Sprint Sessions, Unlimited Skidpan, One-on-One drift training, cruise session and more...

$50 extra gets you one-on-one on track driver training with Steve Owen (V8 Supercar Driver)...

The one on one training alone would usually be $500+ minimum.

A few skylines entered so far.... would love to see some more 34's though!

We have over $500 worth of Sparco Prizes, so if you have a fast car, you might get a chance to take home stuff worth more than the entry!

Silly loud = straight through exhausts...

if you have a hotdog & cannon with screamer... it is generally ok...

if it's a massively worked GTR with big cams and just a cannon... probably not...

this event is a one-off since locking in time with a V8 supercar driver can be hard, but we do hold hardtuned track days at the track every 6 months.

there are 40 spots left. Tomorrow is the last day for discounted entry however.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
