Yeah, it's been pritty busy. About 2-3 weeks ago they actually started to refuse entries because it was too full.

Do you want me to organise a club night?

Same price ($40), but we'll be put in the "in-field" with the comp cars and probably have more runs than the people lining up in the regular lanes. It will probably be in 3-4 weeks.

What is admission these days?

Al, as far as organising...too much effort and ppl always pull out because of Friday drinks etc. But im in...i need to better 12.9 with the RB20 before BANG!!!

LOL...i dont think the engine will go bang. Im more worried about the gearbox. Its just more an expression that i think all the bugs are about ironed out of my car :D

Just red line it and launch - only way to enjoy yourself :P

The earlier you can get their the better, i got their at like 5:30 last time and got 4 runs in and left at 7pm. I left because there was about 75 cars lining up for a run. About 7:30pm onwards expect only 2 runs if your lucky. $40 to enter, was $55 at one stage last year haha.

If I can get my car retuned in time (and if its actually sorted out this time) I'd probably come down. Club entry sounds good too

careful roy, cops might be camping outside calder aswell - they seem to love legal events these days!

Id like to go to Calder and have a run. I will be disappointed if i get caught up in all the politics that seem to be flying around at the moment. But as far as im concerned, im licenced, the car is regsitered and i have a clean driving history. Not one speeding ticket etc. I take it the tack to have my fun and fingers crossed im allowed to continue to do it. :wave:

I may take the ceffy down for a bust go the RB20 powerhouse.

Brisby - let me run it ill bust an 11 in it for ya! :D

Can two drivers drive the one car?

If ic ant get it right after a few hours i would be interested to throw you the jeys and see if you can get the 60ft times down to what they shoudl be.

Yeah you can just have to let them know at scrutineering.

With the power you have now I dont see why a LOWWWW 12/ high 11 isnt possible.

LOL...it aint possible becase i do 2.3 60ft times. Still std gearbox. Though next time out i wont be so gentle with 1sr and 2nd gear as i havean RB25 box ready to go in.

So fingers crossed with the diff and boost back up i can get a 12.5 and not break anything. Im more interested in mph then anything. I want 115mph :nyaanyaa:

2.3 because ur not harsh enough with it.

Man I run a 20 Box and drift the car savagely - u cant tell me one drag race run is gonna be more stressfull than that.

Nice big clutch slip off the line and dont smash gears and itll be fine!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
