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:

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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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.
