don;t worry the pits at wakie are nice and flat, not like oran park. no chocks required there

just park the car with handbrake off and out of gear when you finish. And take it easy on the cooldown lap, and do a lap or 2 of the pits if you think they are still too hot

Here's the list for scruitineering:

-No loose items in the cabin

-No fluid leaks

-Brake lights working

-Some tread left on tyres

-Secure panels

-no loose seats, seatbelts

-checking fire extingushers if there is any.

-checking helmets

-checking apparel if there are any

-wheelnuts

-cabin is fully sealed off

Guys is easier to fix any issues now, rather than on the day

Just another newbie question regarding the definition of loose items. Are items such as laptops, dataloggers and thermocouple readers etc allowed??..

I am assuming yes as long as they are strapped or tapped down and not free to move around the car??? I was going to make some brackets and use velcro straps, cable ties or gaffa tape???

Nope, sorry not allowed.

Anything that isn't welded, or screwed in is prohibited.

Edit: Unless you want to keep your dataloggers in the glove box (must be shut), that I will allow.

If it is bolted does it need to be bolted to car body or will bolting to the console do??

Also with the Wakie license I take it we get that from Wakefiled admin people first thing in the morning before scruitineering??

Wakie license yes at the admin office. You might want to go through scrutineering first as you will be in one of the first groups and there will be a line.

As in bolting to the centre console?

If you could make a steal bracket and bolt it to a structural point that would be fine.

But it would be hard for me to say yes over the net for something I haven't seen. If you want we can talk about this over PM or if you come down to mikes the night before I can try and help you figure something out.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
