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.

    • The interesting part of tests like IM240 is they measure the exhaust output. But they never measure the gases going into the engine... Imagine doing the test in a densely populated city with higher CO2 levels around... Instant disadvantage...
    • I have two German Shepherds that like to bite things that are in places they shouldn't be. Plus the cars/batteries on chargers are inside a locked garage, inside that fully fenced and locked yard. If you can get the car out, you can have it, as I'll be having one hell of a laugh at your expense.
    • Looks like they changed the wording in the manual for the new model. I have a different model. Mine is CC1206. Not CC1206-XLI. Mine doesn't support lithium at all. I can't find the manual for my model online and they don't list the model on the Century website anymore either. In my manual it says what I quoted and that they recommend to not leave it on 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like you'd be fine with this one now.
    • Thanks for actually answering every single point! I noticed the date only after posting. And yes, looks like things have changed a little bit since then. FWIW, looks like Government Gazette No 253 has the current emissions test procedure. Sounds pretty reasonable altogether. One thing I learned from this is that it's possible to check whether a catalyst does any work by measuring the temperature. Catalyst outlet temp is at least 40°C higher than inlet temps if there is a reaction happening. I'd be curious to check this on mine but don't have a thermometer. Because purely going by smell it can't be doing much. Personally I'd be okay to pay for the test as long as it's within reason. My main concern would be to lose my rego because it definitely wouldn't pass the test in its current state. I'll see if I can do a bit more digging and see what's involved in doing this nowadays.   To be fair I don't think it's stopping many people from doing the modifications anyway. It just puts a barrier up to doing things right  
    • Uhhh if anyone sees this - I bought a BRZ years ago, on my fulls soon so back on the market for the R34!
