Ryan,

try these

Ando Chris and I are staying here

http://www.bathurstexplorersmotel.com/

Oh Ryan - PLEASE have ext gate for conrod!! haha

I will book there too then, let me know when you book.

I dont know if they will let me have the ext gate? it might be too loud? i took the car out yesterday and it sounds so shit now without it, and i don't really know when to change gears now. :O I am trying to sort out my CAI and front brake cooling this weekend and i am over it already. I am searching for ideas.

Did you get your harness sorted out?

Guys don't leave helmets etc in cars at night, take them into your room. Had someone tell me their car was smashed into and lost all their helmets, suits etc while they were there.

Before I bought the enclosed trailer, I was still carting my car around on the back of a truck & took daughter to movies there in the middle of the day and didn't even make the walk to the theatre before turning back to find my open wheeler covered in 10-15yo kids. Made me noiiivous.

Ryan - nah havent sorted out the harness. I'll leave it for bathurst.

Oh, we have booked!

so book book book haha

Michele - Always do already!

got a confirming email for supersprint on saturday ..... :P

thanks aza for giving me an idea ..... so i'll send the entry form for hillclimb tomorrow

and i will ba a turtle climbing up hill on sunday ...... LOL

Well i will be the whale coming down on Sat lol.

i was just wondering if any one new if there was any spots left eighter the hill climb or the super sprint

i cant get hold of the bathurst light car club and i was wondering if should waist my time sending of my sending of my entry

thanks tim

Tim,

Best bet would be to get a phone number off the sup regs, and give them a call tomorrow :banana:

Christine Wells is them one to speak with :)

ok thanks i was calling the number of the site ill tyr the sup reg for a different number

ive started filling in the form but i dont no if my car is a

type 3 over 3lt

or a sv over 3lt which class do youse run

and does any one no how big the fire extinguisher has to be ive got a 1 kg in my car at the moment is that big enough

thanks tim

only locally delivered cars are eligible for class 3 so unless its a 32 gtr you are in SV (from your profile looks like 33 gtr?)

capacity for gtr is 2.6 x 1.7 for turbos = 4.42l

hmm that is a tricky question.

we are 100% in on 2 small conditions

1/ the car is running

2/ there is a spare spot available by then.

I long ago gave up entering events hoping the car will be ready :banana:

Engine is finally getting sealed on Wednesday night, it has taken ages because the rules have changed, we even need to get the cams measured, placed in a sealed bag and picked up by the engine sealer. and head cc-ed. and deck and head height measured. all in addition to the old inspection and bore and stroke measurement.

anyway, motor back in the car next weekend. Then run in, tune and a big wheel alignment (all bushes changed since it was last run). As long as all that is done before the event sells out we will be there with bells on.

And if we do make it, it will be the first event running more than stock boost (12psi), we have finally been allowed to run a boost controller to ensure it stays to 12 psi for race events. Which means we can dial in some proper boost for this (say, 36psi?) or maybe just 18-20 lol

thanks for the help duncan

i just have one more question are you aloud to run semi slicks or do you have to run road tyres

You can run whatever you choose i beileve. Evil Weevil is running street/semis RT615;s, I am running full semi RE55's and I think VZSS is running full slicks or streets.

But this said it has been discussed which way is best to go. Reason being, a semi slick may not get upto temp/pressure in the 'lead up' and actual sprint. Unlike time attack on an actual race track, you dont get a couple of laps to get temp into the tyres.

Depending on how much temp you get into the semis it could be better to go a street version IE RT615's. I am going RE55's cause i dont want to go buy a set of street semis just for this event..... SSOOOOO in short, up to you and what you feel comfortable on... :banana:

yeah you only have about 1min to get everything up to temp. they at least let you do a ful sik burnout to warm the rears but it still wont be enough for medium or hard semis.

i'll be running yoko a048rs too so they might be warm by the end of each run. even cold i think they are better than street tyres, just run a few psi more than normal.

tyres will affect which class you are in 2(road)/3(semis)/4(slicks) if you are not in SV.

    • 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.
