Calder Park - no go.

They are not club-friendly.

If you book the side lane you will not get "more" runs than any other friday night. So max of 2-3 runs.

Heathcote pricing is realistic, and far offsets the 1.5hour drive and fuel by $40 runs and $10 spectator.

Calder wants $50 to race, $20 spectate, if you get your own "lane" as i said you will get limited runs.

You wont get 10+ runs like heathcote by any means.

yeah heathcote is good....you get the drag aspect, and a nice cruise up :laugh:

Due to overwhelming demand both here and WRX

I will organise one... but you'll need to be a member Daz :(

Same as this one

This wont be the "formal challenge" as thats only one a year.

But ill think of something to jazz it up with :)

Haha sweet mate, membership is coming. Got to get off my ass and call Adz

another vote for heathcote! was a great atmosphere, good for learners/ first timers, bit more relaxed so you dont feel stupid about doing a bad time or making mistakes...like my 22 sec first run...lol

I should have entered in the most improved class..

from a 22.4 to a 13.4....:(

The one good thing about Calder that its a faster track than Heathcote. Around 0.2 of a second quicker

Depending on the weather/time of day.

I've run faster @ Heathcote than Calder.

Calder is troubled by the water table problems if its had heavy rain the week prior an the track can be very slippery at timesm even after they spary VHT all over the place

Same as Heathcote aswell at times too.

Its very much a weather thing

It did sound a lot more serious than some other cars out there. And I think that more people were cheering you on than any one else [maybe bacause you weren't a threat] I don't know. It certainly highlighted the fun atmosphere and let people know that if you didn't run 11's, you weren't going to get laughed off the track. :P:)

Its more altitude, Heathcote has a higher altitude and Calder is at sea level. I always run quicker at Calder and i know a few quick 10 second cars who are drag heads reckon Calder is good for 0.2 over Heathcote.

I must admit Heathcote has alot more relaxing atmosphere.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
