Thanks Duncan. It shaping up for a great weekend.

My MR2 is in pieces and will not be ready till later this year so Im leasing a drive for the race.

We are planning a 300km race for Eastern Creek next year so you wont have to wait till November for a 300km enduro. We were also looking at Winton but its very hard to organise as the track is already booked out for next year.

Good luck with the build up and hope to see it on the track soon.

Cheers

Steve

Yes leasing is a great option.

Im looking into a future racer for the weekend.

Its $4000 for the weekend for the car,pit crew and team manager.

With 3 drivers it works out OK.

Even with two its ok based on the fact you arrive and drive. No set ups, endless hours prepping the car, towing it to the track, pit crew plus plenty more.

I show up, jump in a car with a pit crew ready including team manager and go racing.

Anyone seriously interested in joining in??

The Wakefield 300 turned out to be a great race.

I managed some footage which is available on my youtube site. The link is http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=CViGljv2H1k

It would have been great to see a gtr,silvia, subaru,evo and mr2 battling it out with the top teams over the weekend

MAybe next year..

We will have a dedicated site up and runnig inthe near future for those interested in being involved at any level in Australia's only 300km enduro for everyone

cheers

skylines are not eligible for bathurst 12 hours or the national production car series - the car has to be within 5 years from new and sold in Aus (unless its a holden in which case the rules will be changed for it).

skylines are welcome in the NSW state production car series though

I was referring to the camry comment, not the GTR.

I well aware of what can and cannot run at Bathurst 12hr/Production car series. You can run R33/R34 skylines in Production Sports. I had a conversation with the president of Production sports a few years ago when I was toying with the idea of building one for racing. Instead of the R33 Im building a MR2 turbo atm to run in Production Sports which will be an experience.I dont expect to all that competitive but gives a me a chance to run with a great class of cars and have some fun. Its also aimed at the W300 for next year.

I heard a rumour there may be a 300km race at EC on the same format as the W300 for next year. If I hear more on it I will let you know.

Cheers

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
