Any chance of another entrants list update? It would be nice to see my name on the list. It also might help push people to enter if they see less spots available.

Done :blink:

There are a few more then what is listed as people have promised to enter and asked that spots be reserved etc, but NO ONE gets on the list without getting a form in.

...what's your full name?

EDIT: re-check the list, I did another update.

If you entered with a second driver but you don't see the second persons name on the list, please let me know.

Not long to go now.

I'm bringing my Silvia up instead of a RB powered car. Hopefully it won't break down but reliability has been pretty poor :P.

How much track time do you normally have at one of these as I am only planning to bring 1 pair of brand newies....

1 pair of new rears should be fine. Really its just the people who loop it and keep the foot in that go through tyres (and they're the minority anyway as its not the fastest way to finish a course).

I put a new set of rears on my Supra last year and take it to the DECA motokhanas which are much harder on tyres (not to mention the 1700k round trip), i keep the foot in when spinning etc and they're still above half treadwear

Although, if your new set are something super soft, thats another story.

Ive never timed anyone throughout the day for a total driving time. Generally by 3pm most people have had enough and are exhausted so that should give you an idea. The line moves at a pretty constant rate and each run goes for under a minute, there are also two groups on the day.

The other ACT guys surely could give you advice based on how you drive if your mates with them etc :P

I generally destroy 1 tyre per texi as my vicious LSD is awesome at peg legging... though you need to factor in that I am using really shit rubber in really shit condition and I take the fact that texi is held on a SKIDpan seriously.

Looking at my most recent texi experience it would seem what is hardest on the tyres is the handbrake... my tyres get pretty flat spotted by the end of the day :P

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
