We paid $5,000 for Targa Tas entry - although to be fair it cost a lot more than just the entry fee.

v s p e c it is a very specific amount, thats what some people think a bathurst trak day is worth.

But lets do this properly with Brendans idea.

Option 1/

Take your car to bathurst for a supersprint

Option 2/

Cab to airport $50

Fly to Frankfurt $1080 (royal brunei via fligh centre)

3 day Car hire $1k/day $3,000

2 days at the nurburgring e345/dy $1100

3 day accomodation e100/night Tiergarten hotel $480

Fly back to Aus

Cab back home $50

total 5760.

$160 over budget but I think Ill take option 2.

I'd either go with the nurburgring idea or I'd take the $5600 with me next time I'm in japan. I'd buy a cheap-ish silvia or something at around 200,000-250,000 jpy (around $2K-$2.5K), then I'd get my fuji speedway licence and do some fuji laps. then I'd go to mobara and do some drift. then go to tsukuba and do some tsukuba laps. with the money left over I'd take it to a wrecker and have it chopped in half and sent over here as parts. then sell them. get my $5600 back and go with marks idea.

outstanding idea richard!

I've had an even better idea! Take the $5600, buy a cheap non registered silvia, or like a series 4 RX7. drive myself up to bathurst on a quiet evening. do some hot laps round the mountain. either crash out in a blaze of glory at the chase, or get if caught I should have enough dough left from the $5600 to make bail, and still have a few bucks to get drunk and make outrageous claims about my lap times.

can only dream of taking a drive on the Ring, but hope my missus will understand when we go on a honeymoon that i need a day for "me" time to go for a sprint lol hahaha wouldnt mind paying that lady who's the faster driver on that track to take me for a spin in her cab and see how that is lol probs more fun just being in the passenger seat than wetting my pants in the drivers seat doin high speed cornering :)

when i seen you counting the money at the end of the day.i never thought you would be on here trauling for ideas on how to spend the money.and then have the tounge to lie and say that a sponsor gave it to you.:)

option 2 sounds the go.

well not really a once in a lifetime experience, bathurst is very do-able all you need is a NC license and some cash to buy a drive with a ute or similar.

I reckon if you do the supersprint you will be held up by a bunch of CEOs in their vw golfs.

put it all on red.

you'll turn your 5.6k into 11.2k.

the choice is simple.

i say put it on evens...

i'd :

fix my car so it stops this damn stupid boost cut.

fuel pump, clutch

-install my turbo sittin in the garage

-passenger bride seat + harness

-cage

-rear spoiler

-fix rear left coilover

-any money left goes to retune :P

-oh and a HKS gold insert bov :dry: (flutta type)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
