Found this on Ns.com.. Looks like fun, I need more practice at Winton. Just wish it wasn't so far away!

Round 2 of the BP Midland / Pedders No Bull Sprint Series is coming up on April 14th at Winton Motor Raceway. This is an excellent way to get involved in club level motorsport. These events are aimed at the club level enthusiasts or entry level into motorsport, and although there are trophies up for grabs the focus for these events is to have as much fun as possible.

So if you are keen on getting on the track and doing some racing you can get the regulations from HERE

and the Entry Forms are at HERE

The cost is $90 if you pre-enter and $100 on the day.

Anyone know what i can use as a bonnet tie down? How have people mounted the fire extinguishers in their cars?

Is there anything else i need to do before taking my car there. Dont wanna get there and fail scrutineering.

Mike.

I used a non-ratchet tie-down strap, with hooks at both ends and a cam-buckle. 'twas about $16 for a pair at Bunnings, I think. I got the blue-strap "Lion" brand, 1.83metres long. It's way too long tho - I had to run the loose-end back&forth between the hooks at each end. 1m would be plenty! I put 1 hook through a hole under the bonnet's front-edge, and the other down to the tow-hook, past the front chassis rail.

I mounted My extinguisher on aluminium strap (min 4mm thick I think, see CAMS manual online) under the front-seat mounting bolts. Get a blue battery sticker, I'd recommend a 3" harness (e.g. search ebay for a Monza one, $170, dated to 2011) - Legal tread on UR tyres (R-Compound or not)

ummm, Helmet that meets standards (CAMS Manual online again) Cotton/wool long sleeve/legged getup, NO GLOVES req'd?

Bring as much fuel as U can carry - it's $1.75/L at the track! (or 10min drive into town)

Bring an assortment of tools- and misc. bits, like self-tapping screws of various sizes - great for those lil' things that come loose, that U didn't notice on the street. (e.g. wheelhousing liners etc.)

Cable-ties come in very handy as well :P is there nothing a cable tie cant fix! :yes:

What was up with the car Matt?

hehe... had all sorts of issues :) Read about it on ns.com. Car was over boosting in a big way, how does 1.9bar sound? vacuum hose off the solenoid came off, also had part of my AVCR wiring loom melt due to being too close to the exhaust housing.. ABS issues.. the ECU started playing up as well. At least it didn't happen in a wrx points round. It's a shame because the car felt tuff in the morning practice session.. oh well next time.

More power = more trouble... ahhh, the fun of cars!

Nasty man, but you'll have these gremlins sorted out soon enough, then you can just enjoy it.

I've had these high mount dramas before... hence now having a low mount :D Was the ABS issue due to heat from the turbo?

    • 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.
