Hi all

On behalf of the ACT Supra Club I am trying to gauge who might be interested in coming to a private track day at Western Sydney International Dragway (WSID) for a Supra v Skyline event held by the ACT Supra Club. We will try and have this event sometime this year (at the worst, early next year) with the prospect of running it as an Annual Event.

At a minimum we will require at least 40 cars to keep the cost down to $200 per entrant. We are trying to keep this to 20 cars of each model. A deposit will be required to reserve your spot for the event within 8 weeks of the event start date. The full amount is required by no later than 4 weeks of the event start date and is non refundable. If you are unable to attend the event after you have paid the full amount then you will have to find a replacement car of the same model car as your own.

What I would like to get from you all is if there is a minimum of 20 Skyline’s here that may be interested in participating in this event. It would be great if we could get 10 from NSW and 10 from the ACT.

As stated earlier, this is a private track day and it is limited to the following access for drivers, crew and spectators:

1 driver will be allowed two crew members and 3 guests/spectators. Basically, each driver can have no more that 5 people excluding themselves, therefore limiting the day to a possible 240 people.

In line with the mandatory rules of WSID, some of the other rules we have been thinking of are:

1. This event is restricted to Supra's and Skyline's only, sorry no exceptions!!

2. All cars must be street registered.

3. All cars are limited to no more than semi-slick tyres.

If there is a car that does not comply with any of the above additional rules but intends on joining us for the day then this car will be excluded from all prizes.

Depending on sponsor availability, there will be prizes available.

Some additional details of the proposed day are:

When: Sunday Date to be finalised

Where: Western Sydney International Dragway

Start time: 8:00 am to 10:00 am for scrutineering

Finish time: 4:00 pm for drivers briefing

Cheers

Ross

<<Reserved for interested participants>>

I don't think you can edit posts now Ross.

Anyway I always said I would be in on this and I know some cheap local accommodation.

So long as the money is guaranteed to be returned if the event does not go ahead or you have to change dates unexpectedly and we can not make the new date (we had some trouble with paintball). Yes I'm in.

Please let us know of any requirements for the car (Fire extinguisher etc).

Hope you posted in NSW section

I totally understand that the price is a little on the expensive side, but please note that this is for a full day of drag racing for up to 40 vehicles. So if your car is totally unbreakable you can expect a bucket load of runs. I went to WSID a couple of months ago for Wicket Wednesday and only got 4 runs for my $50 and that was no where near enough for me.

I'm in the process of obtaining sponsors to assist with reducing the cost of the day and also prizes for specific classess. eg Naturally Aspirated, standard turbo, aftermarket turbo, burnout, top Supra & Skyline etc....

If 40 cars cannot be obtained then the cost will blow out, that's why I need an indication of who might be interested and if you budget $200 just for racing and if we can be assured of 40 cars, then the price will only get cheaper.

I now have two dates that are available for this year.

Sunday 16 November

Sunday 21 December

The December date might be too hot for the turbo cars, so I would rather doing this in November if possible.

I'll put a post in the NSW section now.

Cheers

Ross

To give you guys who dont like the price it cost $50 on a Wednesday you get 3-4 runs max. I have been with Rotary/SAUNSW drag day and seen people get up 30+ runs so for the number of runs you get the price is cheap plus there will be like minded people there to help you get your times down.

Hi guys,

Just a quick update for you.

So far from what I can see is that from the NSW Skyline owners, there are 9 interested people pending date. In the ACT we have 1 (John) and 2 that are not happy about the price.........

Looks like this event might be NSW Skyline's v ACT Supra's as I'm having the same problems with the NSW Supra Owner's.......

Guys/gals, I've done the hard work so far, all you need to do is say you're in or out.......

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
