Howdy, 

From WA where I had a good tune in on what events are on and where. 

Recently moved to QLD and have managed to find the following 

Skid Control events look well run and frequent 

Noosa hill climb 

Targa Great barrier reef 

Roll Racing 

 

Are there any smaller events, or smaller race tracks I am missing out on for grass roots motorsport in QLD? 

Either circuit racing or tarmac rally sprints or similar!

To add to Rob's reply, 

Gold Coast Tweed Motorsporting Club also run regular autocross events.

Gctmc.org.au

 

Brisbane Sporting Car Club also run regular events as I understand.

I believe BSCC does and supports a lot of the Rally stuff in QLD (More dirt than Tarmac is my understanding, though could be wrong :) )

BSCC.asn.au

 

MG Car Club Queensland also owns and runs the Mt Cotton Hill Climb.

mgccq.org.au

Fantastic guys thanks for the response 

 

I am in Kangaroo Point atm, potentially moving up the coast towards noosa early next year so was trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible on QLD motorsport so I can work out my options.

Sunshine coast club looks ideal for the pending move also, where is Doonan racetrack it seems to be secret squirrels? is it someones private property?  

I have the awkward situation where my car is full rego in WA and it would never pass inspection in QLD, so will need to bring it over and trailer it everywhere. 

Doesn't look like any other options?  

Haha I am temporarily in QLD so to get it back on WA plates would be a nightmare it is at a stage of basically rally rego as its not like i drive it on the street that often unless going to an event or workshop or very rarely a early morning cruise. 


I am assuming the problem was with drifters chopping the joint up?

If you're temporarily here, use your WA rego?

 

I know of someone that has been here temporarily for 8 years and still has Vic rego...

Insurance says you got 2 weeks to change it over

You're here "temporarily".
The law actually says you have 2 weeks to change it over, not insurance, however, there's a bunch of reasons around why you legally don't need to, even with being here > 2 weeks.

    • If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok. 
    • Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions 
    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
