So you think doing the back track in rwd would be better?

No, the grip is essential on the back track, its just in keiths case, when boost is on at 5500, you would bog down in second gear in the slalom's. Idealy, he should go back to 1st gear, but thats alot of hassle and if your gearbox is a little tender, 1st gear synchro wont like you.

Just looking into this. My cars worthy (ie moves under it's own volition lol) now. I have the license you get when you do a track day at Wakefield ("Clubcomp License". Is that good enough for this? I don't have a helmet though :|

Just watched the vids with the cones. I GARANTEE I will get lost on that course hahaha

If my license is OK, and I can get a helmet from somewhere + pay in time, I'm up for this. Someone lemme know asap!

OH by the way, do they let more than one car at a time onto that track up the top of the driving facility? Cos that's where I did the safety training thing, and they let about 10 inexperienced drivers on there at once... with all the blind corners n stuff its asking for trouble IMO. A soarer nearly got rear ended by a Daihatsu locking it up coming into the last downhill bend before the straight..... EEP. Only one car at a time on there, yeah?

I think the more recent Wakefield licences are AASA and might just pass - Does it have AASA on it anywhere?

Q about licenses was answered in another thread for me :) $90/yr for the AASA one.

BTW, this would be another great place to try out my new car cam, assuming internal suction cups ones are OK.

yep only one car at a time, and we will have cones set up to slow everyone down in certain parts. It is not designed to be a high speed event. We'll be having even more cones this year & set up better (you learn these things after running the event before...)

I dont believe we have any restrictions on the helmet?? As long as its Aust Safety Standards approved?? I would assume wakie would be the same?

Cool@ bike helmets. Cheers!

Yeah must have haha, I just meant to edit the part about the camera, cos I realised a camera inside the car for obstacle event maybe silly - outside footage is probably more fun/useful? I dunno. If ppl think it'd be useful, I'll have it handy anyway. Just don't want someone runnin off with it haha

You may be crazy anyway tho :cheers:

Seriously? AASA is up to $90 now? if so, my advice (and I like what AASA stand for) is to go CAMS L2S for no other reason than so you can run other CAMS events... such as... the hillclimb, Oran Park, EC etc

I thought AASA was around $50?

Well that's what someone on another forum posted as the price for 1 year. I don't think I have time for sending away stuff etc etc if they can take 2-3 weeks to process a CAMS application like ppl have said. I'm most likely to use the license to go to Wakefield and this event over the next year... maaaybe hillclimb or something if I have a look and like it...

Sounds like CAMS is more official and that you can't just rock up and buy one on the day, like you can with AASA?

Yes, you can usually fill out the CAMS form on the day with CAMS affiliated clubs and keep the 30 day tear off (SAU is with CAMS)

Shell should be able to confirm if SAU have someone coming from NSW who has the delegation to sign off the CAMS form.

If you would prefer to organise in advance, phone CAMS and they can fast-track the process and fax an interim 30 day licence. You should be able to fax your form and receive something back fairly quickly until your real one comes through.

Or (just to confuse matter more LOL) you could come along to the SDMA hillclimb and join CAMS this Sunday, on the spot. Best to do before 9am though (while they are still in the office).

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      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.
