*|aunch puts his hand up for Jamboree attendance :D*

Just as an aside, who will be heading out to the Queensland 500? It is on at the Willowbank Motorsport area (basically, same place as the Jamboree), but the week before. The whole show goes from 13-15 of September, with lots of different support races (Formula Ford, Porsche, MGF Trophy, Saloon Cars, Sports Sedans). Should be a good couple of days... I can't wait to see the V8's get out and stretch their legs :D

*Someone Please Explain*

Can I enter the actual event? I know I do not have the quickest car but if its based on ET's times I would be keen on entering.

And yes I read the whole http://www.jamboree.com.au/ Web site but could not work out weather there is a ET class.

I also noticed

quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"7.00 AM- 1.30 PM Drag racing time trials Session (1) (NO race cars permitted)"

And

"2.00 PM Drag Racing time trials Session (2)(No vehicles with treaded drive tyres permitted)"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So is the whole day based on the fastest or ET's?

As mines an Auto I know pretty well what I will do down the quarter.

Regardless I am going.

Would also be a great day to do a Photo Shoot.

Not to mention a good time to have some sort of Flyer/Card/Sticker to entice new members.

MRE Glad to see you haven't written it off yet. I believe the comp is bracket racing but I could be wrong. You can print out an entry form from the Jamboree site I think it was $50 + you pay for the day licence and crew member at the gate. Come join the fun I'm expecting Birty to organise a cheerleader squad. :D

Answer for MRE

If it is like it has been in the past....You will have the morning to see how the car goes and work out a time. Then when the racing starts you will have to nominate your dial in. Then its just a matter beating the other person to the line without going over your dial in.

Don't set the dial in too low or your head start will be slashed against cars that are faster and you will not beat them.

Basically this is about consistancy not outright best time.

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
