Long sleeve shirt

Ooo tempting.. I needed something just like this to prompt me to get my car track ready for winter :sweat:

Do you know how many cars will be allowed matt?

No idea, I'll phone up EC tomorrow and ask.

$120 for EC on a saturday, that can't be right!

The Eastern Creek website doesn't mention different prices for mid week and weekend private practice sessions. When I phone EC tomorrow I'll confirm price.

hey can i come and follow you guys!

non turbo ftw!

If you have everything that is needed, feel free! Don't worry about no having as much power as the rest of the cars, believe me a stock R33 isn't blisteringly quick around the track, especially with me hitting the speed limiter every lap :P

Just got off the phone with EC.

They said costs for Saturday private practice are:

ARDC members = $85

Non-ARDC members = $120

2% credit card surcharge

No limit on cars, sign up/pay on the day

I do admit this will probably mean it will be crowded and limit track time, but I don't care. It will be my birthday and I'm going regardless! :)

I think Taleb tyres still sell some of the parallel import Toyo R888's for cheap if you're interested.. Last time i bought them they were $170 or so for 215 R16's.. Really soft tyres but they heat up quickly and grip like buggery. Ask chubbs about Taleb if you're interested. I think he knows them fairly well.

Thanks mate, I have spoken to them before, but will need them in 18"

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
