We went out to this little track in Stanthorpe For a super sprint, which is 4 timed laps. Position is based on the total time for the 4 laps. We got our pit setup as usual for these events and we were free to camp with the cars overnight. (-2 is blimin cold)

Others had big set ups and lots of friends, eg this tranportre is for 2 minis.

There was a wide range of cars there from fairly stock escorts, to 13b turbo sportsedan escorts

There was a very fast VG 30 powered 240K, I was too busy racing to get a shot of the engine bay but it was tower to tower of engine. The vent was so a pod filter could fit

The racing saw 4 cars on track at once, sent off 2 at a time. In my group I was sent off with a sport sedan Mini... a bloody quick mini.

Here is a link to an incar vid, sorry about the quality. Im working on a new mounting position too.

And some on track shots.

By the end of the weekend I had won my class, Sports cars 3L (the capacity has to be multiplied by 1.7 because it is turbo'd) and over and 3rd outright. The super mini came in 4th behind me by 1/2 a second. In front of u was a formula libra and a track preped westfield. The track suited them very well and they were on super soft slick tyres.

Next event is Grafton Hill Climb june10th

Well, maybe a test drive can be arranged. I'm thinking of maybe thinking selling it. It is a huge maybe.

Haha I would love a test drive, be interesting to see how it goes around Baskerville....trouble is I would have no intention of buying it :thumbsup:

no fair....invite us all next time :) looks like fun

OK. the next one is the QLD v NSW Sprint Challenge Oct 27-28! I'll be there in my new track toy - a CA18DET powered Datsun 1200 coupe (got rid of my GTR for something fast!). would be good to have a few GTRs there to beat :P

Going to get into a Toyota hey mate, so you can compete with the fast cars? :)

Keep me informed about the next Carnell day in October. I might be tempted to come join in though it looks pretty short. May end up getting a bit dizzy

Also, you coming along to the next JDM round?

Wow, the things that get posted when ur not looking, any how, keep an eye out on this site for entry details.

There should be something up soon, and yes John you wll get giddy there so no point bringing the chaser.

I got my hands on the sup regs at the pittsworth sprints.

Just a quick question. is it just the sprint challenge or the short circuit touring car that you will be entering? the entry cut off numbers are around 80 for sprint and 30 for short circuit is the short circuit more mulit car racing or something as the classes are diffrent bracket systems to the sprint.

I havn't got the regs with me today but i will be more specific if needed tomorow with regs in hand.

yep, short circuit is head to head racing. I was just going to do the supersprint.

Not entirely sure I'll be out there anymore, I'm doing Grafton Hillclimb 2 weeks before this and want to do the QRCS races at QR 2 weeks after, so I might have to skip this one.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
