I heard the prices were going up.

$25 for a spectator is a fkn joke and $65 to race is way too expensive!

No wonder people street race, with prices like that who can afford to compete every week.

LOL. And they wonder why people street race. I dont understand some of these people that run these type of events. It makes far more sense to reduce the costs to enter etc and draw more people in to race and watch. They will bump the price up to $70 before long i recon. I was thinking of giving it a go out there sometime but looking far too expensive. $65 entry, $100 fuel there and back, $500 for tires. Dam thats one expensive outting.

I'm sure they'll soon realize the crowd is fading. Having lesser cars and crowd there will be a sign for them. Was just there about 3 weeks ago. Had about 30 cars i reckon. Had the chance to do 20 runs :( But yeah $65 is just too much.

The manager and some other staff who worked for Calder just recently quit or got the sack.

These people really pushed to make it allot better this year.

I guess where just going to see what happens next year.

That's right!

The people that gave a shit about the place and tried to push to make it better got sacked or was pushed to resign. All because Bob has lost the plot and is listening to the one lying bitch that is going to fark up the place big time.

My mate (Malcolm, for those who know him) was in charge of "track hire", he had managed to book Calder out every weekend in 2008 and most weekdays, with a few major events that would not have happened without his and Russel's (previous manager) hard work. One bitch wanted the top job and took down anyone that wasn't on her side. Well she now has the top job, but all i hear from current staff and Calder clients, is that the place is a mess with a massive lack of planning/organization/etc.

Hell even the manager at Adelaide International Raceway (AIR) resigned, due to Bob listening to this bitch.

calder park drifting.. $90 to compete!! and u end up stacking ur car because the barriers are pretty much ON THE FREAKING TRACK!! but its mad fun.. better than going straight..

dragging is a joke there.. pay that money, wait all night, and have 3 runs..

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
