I won't be going to the 1st "guest list only" event as I already promised to visit my friend this Sunday... beside it's likely too late already by now.

But I'd be up for that 20th March event... Do we just be a spectator or can we have a run as well? Will there be different levels like beginners, intermediate, pro? It's not funny for a beginner to compete against pro and getting smashed up trying some fast corners dedicated for pros only... I'm sure many ppl still like to drive their cars back home in 1 pc.

It's on the track.

not in the dome.

There was a demo day there 2-3 months ago to get approval to have these types of events covered by insurance etc

I dont know much more about it than that at the moment. I aint spoken to anyone for a while.

As for participation... i am 'told' now this is not gospel, that it will be invite only.

that's just what i was 'told'

Reasoning for that was they are mainly just getting the interest for Vic-Drift flowing hot etc.

Then other days will follow.

Again, this is what i was told by a few acquaintances at various stages late last year. Dont hold me to it

Hi,

Adam from Full Lock here. Just thought ids clarify a few things for you guys.

Do we just be a spectator or can we have a run as well? Will there be different levels like beginners, intermediate, pro? It's not funny for a beginner to compete against pro and getting smashed up trying some fast corners dedicated for pros only...

You can go as a spectator or you can go as a competitor. There will be two divisions. Factory tuned division and an amateur division. Factory tuned is invite only. This class will have some of Australia’s hottest drift cars and driver’s competing head to head on a challenging track layout. The amateur division is designed for anyone to compete and give it a go on a safe and easy track layout.

I am 'told' now this is not gospel, that it will be invite only.

Only the factory tuned will be invite only. Amateur will be open for everyone.

What part of Calder will be used for drifting, flat track or inside the dome?

The flat track will be used. In particular the last chicane and right hand sweeper. The factory tuned cars will uses the part of the straight and possibly the short corse right hand sweeper.

Hope this helps.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
