Yeh a date would be good. If its in 2 weeks time i will struggle, If its in 6 weeks time, no prob. If its in 4 months time then i mayhave a few extra tricks on my car :rolleyes:

And the one lap thing will help cars i think. I know if its only one lap i will ahve a better chance, as the cars with serious brakes, coolign systems will be able to get a better go at a quicker time. With stockish brakes and coolign system, and std engine, i cna give it 1.4bar for one lap and its will be a good chance of holding together :D

You put your name down Roy?  Woud be good to see you out there again as your silver under dog used to go hard and give a few  R33's and even some GTR's  a hurry up.

Yeh im down...im expecting them to only invite 10-12 cars, and would expect the base lap time to be about 1:09s or better, so doubt i will get a look in.

It would be interesting if there was a "Workshop Car" class, street car class etc. The i may have a chance...but right now if i make it i will just have to lay back and be the village idiot :rolleyes:

Why only 12 cars do you think or have they said this somewhere and if so where? Not much of a show. They would have to have a lot more than that I would think.

Ahh 1 lap would kinda help those who have dropped by before. I think you'll find the serious ricers will find someone to drive the car for them, and I bet the open day before will be full of people practicing.

John, Dunlop DZ02J are the tyres of choice, or some of those purty Pirelli Corsas if you cant get the dunlops big enough

Or if you are really serious and its less than 3 laps at a time, Bridgestone re55s wets would be the go

Ok - apparently I'm in :D

They had 420 entries and they are culling them down to 30 cars. There is 2 classes - race class and street class. So - street registered cars V's full race cars. There was also a huge % of GTR's entered and they want to try and mix up the types of cars as much as possible.

Also they are looking at doing it "mid March" which is the only issue since I'm already committed to doing the Calder Rally Masters on March 11-12. But apparently it will be a 2 day event as well with basically practise sessions given to everyone with lots of cars on the track and multiple laps before they settle down to the day of single timed laps.

OK sounds good and los of GTR's to play with. 420 entries that is huge.

Yep Dunlops good although cost. Depends on time of year if winter maybe the RE55 as sound like softer.

Hey my car was in HPI way back. Only bling on my beast is bonus of function. I know what you mean though some bling cars are slower than stock cars in fact especially with good driver.

Sounding like a good show with some tough cars. Will see when the rubber hits it.

I remember that day at Sandown, Snowie (the Ice Supra pic). The Ricebucket was pissing oil everywhere and it went all up the side of my nice 33 in right of pic :)

No love for 33's Pete, it's not a slider's battle; now where's my sump dammit? :P Maybe Drunken can bring it as cabin luggage next time he's down.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
