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:

1) Bunta

2) Wagamama

3) toddlls

4) Pear

5) DAS KAMU

6) and3_3

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.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
