I dont even get what this thread is about.....

It doesnt take a genius to figure out what "when, where and how much?" would mean? I cant believe you actually need me to explain the title.

is he asking if there are any time attacks within 100km of sydney?? :S

Yes

as in sprints or hillclimbs

That would be great too, but i was thinking more circuit time attacks like oran park, wakefield or eastern creek. I was just wondering if there are any events coming up that the public can participate in.

on crack much?

No, can you speak english? "On crack much" doesn't make sense.

yeah....the m2-m7 time attack...

Haha, very funny.

harbour tunnel time attack

redhot

You and lingeringsoul should date each other.

So why not just ask that? I usually find if you take the time to articulate what you do know (or what you suspect to be the case) then properly phrase your question you'll get fewer spankers taking the piss out of your post.

Try the kindly folk at SAU NSW as there are a number of them who participate in track days and sprints/time attacks (The latter is just the Japanese term for the former. It is mostly used by 16 year olds & may explain the nonsense in this thread).

Beyond that have a look at the websites belonging to the circuits - specifically their calenders & try some of the larger performance shops who run track days..

Time attack...curse those BMI DVDs for having all new comers calling circuit sprints "Time attacks" :)

Look up the ARDC/Eastern Creek Calender for their next Friday L2S practice day and go have a blast. You will need a CAMS L2S licence which means you will have to join SAU-NSW to get the licence (Other clubs can do it, but you do own a Skyline :ph34r: )

Oran Park is not so easy to get on , but soon you will have your L2S licence which means you can attend any number of multi car club sprints at Oran Park. So look up various clubs websites and look at their calenders.

Next, there is Wakefield, they have plenty of open days you can attend, just look at their website for their calender.

AND, you would have been able to work all this out if you had of just looked at the website of any of the circuits you mentioned :wave:

Ahh, so its called circuit sprint in Oz, i did look on the track sites but i just couldn't find time attack or time trial.. bugger me. Thanks for that. HAHA BMI, yeah those damn dvd's got me really hyped up... especially anything that had the mine's gt-r in it... *dreams of owning that car*

I absolutely cant wait to get my hands on a cams license... soon, very soon.

I thought he was referring to Volk Racing Time Attack rims at first.

So yeah, say what you mean. We're not mind readers.

Oh, and just go do Wakefield. Easiest track to get onto in NSW (although it is 200km from Sydney), in terms of availability and licensing.

Fark. You keep starting dumb threads (re: I want a quiet exhaust should I buy a stagea will cops pull me over in a stagea) and wonder why you get flamed.

Also I doubt you will get a CAMS license "soon..very soon".

Now to your 'question' go attend a Wakefield track day...factor in costs for new brake fluid, possibly brake pads, maybe need to machine discs, oil change, helmet. A couple of laps at a track will rape your car so make sure it is properly maintained/prepared.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
