For anyone interested there will be a 1 hour Sports car race held as part of the AMRS round at Winton on August 25th and 26th. The Intermarque Challenge will be running over the Saturday and Sunday having practice, qualifying and 2 five lap races (one for each driver if two drivers are listed for 1 hour race). On the Sunday the race will be the feature event for the round with the 1 hour "endurance" style race including driver swap if 2 drivers are entered.

The round will get national TV coverage (SBS speed Week) as well as international coverage on pay TV in South East Asia and New Zealand.

All sports cars are welcome (generally 2 door coupes) Skyline GTST, GTR, 200SX, RX7, Supra, NSX and 3000GT's ect. Currently every round of the series has been won buy a Porsche with Maserati, Ferrari and Dodge close behind them. The series administrators are interested in seeing some Japanese cars out competing with the European and American cars. Unlike a few of the other sports cars series turbo cars are not only able to race but are welcomed as the series organizers drive Turbo Porsche's.

payment will not be processed until 14 days prior to the meeting if you request it. Any problem that arises-- as long as we are kept informed -- a 100% refund is guaranteed up to 4 days prior to the meeting

There will also be a sprint round held at Calder in September if anyone is interested please let me know.

I'd Love to race in this series... reminds me of the old GTP/procar days with all types of cars battling it out. I went to watch AMRS Intermarque round 2 at Calder in March and there is some serious cars in this category and i don't consider my car to be at that level.. I don't think I could justify the $550 per round entry costs without a couple of major sponsors.. maybe one day. I know a few damn quick GTR's that would give the leading porsche a run for their money :thumbsup:

the series has different classes in them to make sure you are racing with similar paced cars (forgot to mention that in the first post).

I understand that it can get quite expensive if you are funding your self. Many of the current teams / drivers are self funded so they don't attend every round of the series.

doesnt anyone reply to these things??? u have half the info champ... u should add ALL of it next time

Sorry not getting back to you , at the time i didn't have the entry fees. I know they can vary for us due to the higher track time ect.

If anyone is interested please let me know ASAP as entries are closing in the next few days

This round is really shaping up to be a the best one this year, so if you aren't competing and want to see some great racing head out to Winton :( (I'm just PISSED i won't be making it over there for the round)

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
