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.

      It's the same ABS unit from the old shell.  It was all just lifted and shifted.  I am looking at the BMW MK60 ABS unit as a budget upgrade, as I'm not keen on handing over 15k for a Bosch unit.

      Bear in mind RBs tend to be pretty terrible for fuel economy and it heavily depends on driving style. In my experience with a heavy-ass turbo Stagea the 10l/100km is really just ideal conditions highway driving. Start-stop in the city is killer and it ends up being 16-19l/100km easily. I keep track of it every time I get fuel and it is never pretty. There are a few topics in the forums where people share their fuel economy if you want to get some ideas of what it can be like. I don't think it is worth that much to compare though because it depends so much on the driving.

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
