*|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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
