AMR33 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Good to hear mate. I may be doing the next one. I've never done them before, do you have any advice? I'm guessing it gets dark around those back streets, should I have some sort of spot light setup to help me see better?

bcozican Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Put a light bar on your car is the easiest thing .... its light and easily put on and removed first time out take it easy... lots to things to hit and there for funu not sheep stations brake early, make the corner, good turn in and accelerate out straight and you'll have an awesome time Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449940-mcrae-sprints/#findComment-7425512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMR33 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thanks man, I appreciate the advice. Any idea where to get a light bar from and cost? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449940-mcrae-sprints/#findComment-7425949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcozican Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Prob ebay is cheapest and easiest. Or picked up a 10" 2 row one for 100 from autopro and it did the job awesome Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449940-mcrae-sprints/#findComment-7426006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMR33 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Nice. Are they straight forward to install? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449940-mcrae-sprints/#findComment-7426016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcozican Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yeah man... they are pretty light. We just made an ally braket to run across in between the headlights in the gap between the bonnet and front bar. We run thermo fans on that car and just unhooked one fan for those nights and put it to the lightbar n just turn it on via missile switch Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449940-mcrae-sprints/#findComment-7426177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMR33 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Nice. I dont have your setup so should I run it via the headlights? (Solder the light bar wires onto the head light ones)?

bcozican Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 i wouldnt do that no in your case id run it off a separate switch so it runs on independant to your headlights and then on all the other track days you do just unplug it and take it off your car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449940-mcrae-sprints/#findComment-7427054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMR33 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Yeah your right. Dont want to be driving on the street with bright LEDs, thats asking for trouble. Cheers mate, will look into it and hopefuly be out for the next one.

Wesley James R32GTR Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Did you end up entering the round 2 event this coming Thursday Amir? Come along for a look to see if you like it. There should be at least four 32GTR's at this one looking at the entry list I was sent yesterday. Yes a light bar is a good idea as it is very dark in places. I'll have mine fitted up for Thursday so will be interesting to see how effective it is. I got a 500mm long one that should do the job Come say hi if you make it down.

AMR33 Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hey Wes. I haven't entered and I dont think I will be able to do this one, although I really want to. I went up to barbagallo yesterday for the full day No Limits event. Was heaps of fun. If I sort a light bar in a day or two and still have time to enter then I might. How big is the list so far?

AMR33 Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Booked the 22 Jan event folks. Hope to see you out there. If anyone can share pictures/tips of their light bar installation that would be helpful.

Wesley James R32GTR Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Went well mate, all my times were coming down each run. It's definitely an event where you need to do it a handful of times before you can say your confident with everything as its very dark in some places! I ended up in 18 outright which I was happy with. Plenty of room for improvement Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/449940-mcrae-sprints/#findComment-7440727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
