Well Trackcorp have managed to put together a full CAMS L2S sprint weekend at Mt Panorama!

It is officially the worlds most expensive club sprint but is more based upon a full racing experience than a typical day at Winton.

There will be circuit orientation, driver training (headed up by Alex Davidson), non-timed practise followed by basically 1.5 days of sprints.

Costs are:

Pay before July 25th - $4,900.00

Pay before Oct 25th - $5,180.00

Pay before Nov 25th - $5,600.00

(As I said - worlds most expensive track day)

You need to have completed at least 8 club sprint days to be eligable and even then it will be an acceptance by application and invitation only.

Full details can be found at: http://www.drivebathurst.com/\

Cheers

Ah so thats just after the speed weekend (conrod sprint and hill climb)

I obviously wont be entering this event posted - but I'll be there on the saturday to check it out for sure!

Wish them all the best, if they make a success of it we may see it available more often.

Not for me for that price, but I'm sure they will find people with the cash to give it a shot.

BTW, almost on topic, both the saloon cars and production cars are racing at Bathurst next February at the 12 hour meet. If you have $5k spare you can probably buy a drive in one or the other instead

yeah exactly. the next historic race we are entering with the alfa costs $400 to enter....

I would love to do this. and would probably even shell out $500 or even $1000 to enter, but $5000 is taking the piss.

well I always had to pay damage bills, but I never did more than 8k damage in a single race :)

Bathurst 12 hour race entry was $6k, between 4 drivers that is $1500ea for 3 hours racing. Thats probably the best comparison to the supersprint price

lol i didn't really think if that.

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, who was speaking about the cost of organizing a Bathurst event.

are they expecting 200 people?Usually TV coverage helps to draw bigger fields in. it will be interesting to see how popular it will be

ahh, ok, I just took a stab in the dark at 200 drivers. I would have thought 200 was manageable considering only half are doing the supersprint and half a doing the 'drive bathurst' event. but yeah, if it costs $450K and the max they can take it $540K then it will be pretty tight by the time they pay for all the extras.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
