Wondering if there are many skylines [or other vehicles of course] heading up to Queensland raceway for the 20th sep saturday afternoon sprints ... wondering what the format is???? was wanting to do a few laps. Can this be done without competing in the sprint series. [dont feel like punishing the poor thing that much yet!] What time does everyone arrive etc, is there a run through of rules and regs etc???

I cant till my car is back on the road dunc, Zenon is a regular there, Not too many others from these boards.

Dont worry bout your lap times. If you're running a new car in Just ask to be put in the slow bracket and go enjoy yourself.

Hope she's back on the road soon for you.. cheers

Zennon wont be going saturday but you should have fun.

Make sure you pre-enter as entering on the day is a thing of the past.

Last time I went (27-Aug) was on a Wednesday.

Wednesday's are heaps better because there are less cars and you get to do the clubman and the sprint track.

Anyway there was 4 skylines (including me), 6 porches, 3 rotaries, 4 new minis, and a few others.

Cant even remember what time it is on saturdays.. think briefly is around 12 or something or maybe

Use to have to get there early so get a pit spot but these days they allocate pit spots based on when you enter

(hence fax your entry form in early!)

Remember to wear natural material long pants and long shirt (not plastic thats melt to your body) :)

In the old days it was three sessions which each had 1 warm up lap, 5 hot laps, 1 cool down lap,

and then if they had enough time (didn't pull people out of the kitty litter etc) you get a 4th go..

These days I think it is very rare to get a 4th session in due to amount of people...

Anyway enjoy!

Saturday arvo's are shit Duncan. You are flat out getting a couple of track sessions because of the numbers.

There is far better value in the wednesday sprint and even better value still in the time attack sprint sereis run by Mountain runner on these forums. Its a tad more exy but you will get more than double the track time over the qr events.

You dont have to enter the Time Attack series to go with Mountain Runner, he has groups according to experience and also has a beginner lecture for newbies that gives you a good idea on whats what out there on the track.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
