Calder Rally Masters

Calder is putting together a little 2 day Road Touring Rally all to be held on the premises at Calder Park on March 11-12.

Basically this will be like a mini Dutton Rally etc in that events will range from track, to drag, to motokhana auto tests. I understand they will utilise the the track, the motorbike training area and even the ThunderDome.

You can enter either as a driver only or as a driver / co-driver team.

Requirements are the usual track day requirements of LS2 or equivalent license, helemt, fire extinguishers and wrist to ankle clothing.

Entry fee is very reasonable at $350pp.

More detail here> http://www.motorsport.com.au/news/rallymastsers.htm

Down side is it is on the same weekend as our Championship Round at Phillip Island. However despite this I am entering into this event.

Cheers.

I emailed calder for a copy of the supp regs for this last week, but haven't had a reply yet.

I could only find the entry form on the website. Do you have any idea where to get the supp regs from?

Hey - it's just been announced over the weekend as part of this event one of the track "layouts" to be used will be the GP Track Layout which incorperates both the main track and the Dome into one lap. This layout has only ever been used once before for the 1989 World Touring Car round - which was won funnily enough by a Skyline!

Here's the layout

It doesn't take very long so you should only need to be there for half an hour max. Gives you a good excuse to take the day off and put the zillion stickers I'm sure they will give us on.

The only oddity compared to a normal track day requirement is 2kgs worth of fire extinguishers instead of 1. (Which is the same requirement for the Dutton). So if you have a 1kg one already you can simply put in another one and that is sufficiant.

So far we could have a nice little SAU contingent attending this! :)

:P

Are you guys doing this event by yourself? I have just put out some feelers for some NSW Co-Drivers. NSW cant lose!

Normally I'd do an event like this with a co-driver but in this case I'm not confident in the life span of my engine so I'm entering as driver only.

Plus - my usual co-driver is convinced that in these types of competitions his car is better so this will be a good test to see if it really is or not.

    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
    • Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.
