What happens if more than 30 people want to go? I guess it'd be a waste casue there wouldnt be enough time to get many runs in. Also do you pay at the gate or is it pre paid

We will organize payments closer to the date. At this stage it’ll be payments deposited into the SAU QLD bank account to lock in your spot on the list.

We want to keep it to 30 cars so everyone gets plenty of runs!!

In so far:

2) Wagamama

So how many runs would you normally get at a TnT??

If you got there at gates open and you kept returning to the line and lining up again on a normal night maybe 5 or 6 runs...

It all depends on how many people damage the track (oil spils etc)... Also depends on how many are there...

But all factors considered 5 or 6 would be a average...

So this event with 3 hours and 30 cars could be like 20 runs at least... Given you return to line up again straight away and no one drops oil...

Given a normal night costs $38 for 5 or 6 runs and this is $48 for heaps more, I cant pass up this sorta value... :)

I've had as little as 3 runs and as many as 15 at a test and tune. Depends on the numbers.

30 cars is not may. You will be surprised how quickly they run through. Budget for about 2 cars a minute once its up and rolling. It will be bloody hot so the more cool down time between runs the better.

I would say you could comfortably handle up to 50 cars and every body will get more than enough runs to keep them happy.

I was thinking the same thing Noel, 30 cars will mean there'll be gaps of time where there's no-one on the track, cos you do want your car to have a bit of a rest period in between. We definitely need to open up another 10 spots IMHO.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
