Entry list was supposed to be posted last night so I dunno.

There are only 40 entries or so atm. And I also wouldnt be too concered if your credit card hasn't been charged. They used to do this as it makes it easier if you have to cancel. So you can expect to not be charged until after the event has been run.

Why is that porche so slow :) He lifted off on the flipflop!!! A video in your car would be better andrew :)

Hey - anyone who hasnt been to Calder before and wants to see some in-car footage here's a good one of a 911 Carrera Sport 3.2

Lap of Calder - Its pretty big at 7.3MB as a warning.

But it gives you a good feel for the bumps at the end of the straight, the hill and the flip flop.

In all seriousness, can anyone with a spare vid cam pm me if i am able to borrow it on Saturday. I want to get some good footage of the guys competing

No Scotsman or Snowman???

It will be interesting to see how Wayne goes. He was quick in a relatively std car, INAsNT says his new car is quite the weapon

I won't be entering. I got the gtr on the road this w/e and it still needs a few small thing doing. I don't really want to thrash it without driving it for a while. Can't afford to spend more money atm. Looks like the Southern 80 is the go!

Have a great track day guys. Might enter the Calder Rally event but I need to speak to somebody who knows about it first. Is there an agenda listed?

Also - if anyone coming down to watch / have a look and you may be able to flag for part of the day/night please email - [email protected] to express your interest.

As well as helping out, you really get an awesome and up close view from the flag points.

;)

this is a club sprint, there is no requirement on the sup reg to have the tow hook painted red or a tow hook sign. I think some of the tarmac rally there is stricter requirement on this.

from wrx club sup. reg. for the event.

> h) All vehicles must have tow hooks fitted

They recommend having after market tow hooks because they are easy to access and will not damage body kits (if you have a body kit that is). Otherwise the standard toe hooks will get you out of trouble. But like nonalcoholicrwd said they are not a requirement for these track days.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
