Just read though the regs and have some questions if anyone can help?

- 1.7.4 All drivers must provide evidence of the last 3 motor racing events they have competed in. It will

be the discretion of the organising committee to accept drivers to compete. How do you do this when they're track days?

- Be fitted with a return spring on each throttle in the event of the throttle linkage becoming

detached. What's this???

- Bonnet Catches: Cars must be fitted with at least 2 independent fastening systems, of

adequate strength and limited extensibility, which simultaneously hold the bonnet or panels

closed. Does this mean just 1 additional fastener as the stock bonnet latch is ok?

Cheers

I believe that is correct. The bonnet catch is one. If you have bonnet pins then you are fine (being a 2nd) and not relying on any part of the bonnet catch. I have also seen a nylon rope or strap used as a secondary fastening system from the radiator support panel to underneath the bonnet

At most events now, you actually need another one.

So the normal bonnet release system and then a strap or something.

Its becoming more common now for sprints and stuff, superlap they required it, and some drift days too

Your car has the linkages already bobby :D

I have my team entered now, Team number 1 - well first team entered anyway. I am planning on running my R33 GTS-T as long as everything goes to plan.

I hope you guys and girls put at least one team in, it should be a great event!!

Can you tell me how many cars will be on the track at any one time??

I know under Cams L2S its a maximun of like 8 cars can be on the track at any one time..some of my team mates are bit concerned about the 36 teams all having up to 6 drivers. Thats alot of cars that you need to get through to do there laps.

If there is 20 teams entered there is only 20 cars on track.

In practice you can still only go on the track if you have the sash, one car per team on track at any one time.

:(

Hey Adam,

But does that also mean 36 cars on the track if there are 36 teams?

I'm an unbelievable skillfull driver, but I think when they see fatz on the track the rest of the field will pit and therefor fatz' team will win :)

Seriously though, 36 teams on teh track at once on Wakefield, made up of weekend racers could get a little hairy. What happens if it's wet?

Thats correct, its not that bad really. I have seen 40 Formula Vees on the track there at once. At the Winton 6 Hour last year there were 43 teams, and not one car to car contact. It is not racing for sheep stations, everyone has to watch their mirrors and pass without embarrassment.

Well if its wet that means there is water on the track. :)

Seriously though, if it is raining then it is the same for everyone. Drive responsibly and everything is ok.

This is exactly my concern as well.

I have seen Wakie with 32 cars on the track at one time and they were racing and it was hairy :(

So what happens in Wakefields eyes if there was an " incident" (rubbing) on the track? Warnings given, sort it out yourselfs?

I just need to reassure my Team mates and hope there still willing to particpate..We are used to the same crowd at our super sprints and everyone knows their boundrarys and there is a level of curtosy...

I guess one way of putting it is" a really big super sprint/track day with just excessive traffic more than what we are used too" ;)

    • 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.
