How long do we have to get entries in? My stanza is off the road getting an L20B but time to finnish screwing it all together is sparse. I'm hoping to have it ready within a couple of months because I have to finnish painting my r31 thats sitting in the shed first. Too many projects, not enough time.

Does the car have to be road registered? Myself and two friends have built a supercharged gemini for motokarna / autocross events. We would like to learn some contol on this vehicle before entering into serious events. Can this vehicle be entered? We can make it appear to be road registered!

Also would like a rough Idea on how this event is filling up? When is the latest I can enter? (Yes I know earlier is better)

Sending my cheque and form tomorrow....

In regards to accomodation: I may be able to offer free squatting to anyone with a tent and sleeping bag on a friends block of land. This is in Merchison 1/2hr drive from Shep. I will be there, but will still hit the 'saloons' of Shep on Sat night with you guys!

Also, I've been to the skidpan/drags but never had the car on the track before. Will there be any form of tuition for beginers (ie instructors giving pointers etc)? And the main concern; is there much of a chance that I could completely fark my car up (not that I plan to go too hard)?

INASNT & riggaP: There are plenty of spots left and you can enter by PM'ing me your e-mail address.

As previously stated, this is NOT a training day. This day is designed to have fun with your car and is NOT a race/track day. But i am sure that if you ask other entrants who are more experienced, like Andrew (snowman), they would be able to give you some basic pointers.

There is always a chance to fark up your car, just like any other cruise. On the GOR you have the armco's (metal barriers) on one side and a cliff face on the other. At Macedon you had trees barely 2 feet from the road, on either side. Not to forget the amount of crap (mud, dirt, loose stones, branches, leaves, etc, etc.) on these roads. But has anyone farked up their cars, no because they drive within their limits. At DECA there are trees near the short track, but you would have to loose it pretty damn hard to hit them. There are other events on the day that utalise the massive skid pan, it is hear that you can go all out without fear of hitting anything.

JUST REMEMBER WE ARE ALL THERE TO ENJOY THE DAY AND HAVE A GREAT TIME.

1. Not sure. Current count is about 40.

2. Not sure what you are asking hear, but the day is planned to be a fun relaxing day for the entrants, with no pressure to become competitive.

3. You wouldn't ask such a question if you had ever run an event as big as this. Venue hire, insurance, flyers, club notifications, time tables, bbq, drinks, track layout, etc....

4. Car with a full tank of fuel, money for accomodation, food, etc., and whatever else you take on a cruise.

  • 3 weeks later...

Finally got my receipt back after 4 weeks. I was getting worried their for a second.

Al, I Was wondering if their would be time to change rear tyres between events. For example I would like to put crap tyres on for the skidpan and good semi comps for the circuit etc.

Let me know.. I should have a small pit crew to help.

Thanks Jarrod, saved me the trouble :)

Sorry about the delay :Oops:, unfortunately i have nothing to do with the financial side of things.

Well i am bringing up my four stockies as i do not wish to wear out my 19's at $500 a corner. :)

So i hope there is time, but alot of people will be doing the same thing, so there should be enough time.

LAST MINUTE ENTRYS ARE STILL GOING TO BE ACCEPTED AT THE GATES. SO IF ANYONE ELSE HAS NOT REPLIED TO THIS POST JUST ENTER AT THE DECA GROUNDS.

I am about to leave, so i will not log on till i come back.

If you wish to contact me just call my mobile: 0427076490.

PS: My company phone is bared from SMS'ing, so i will not be able to respond to any SMS messages.

C YA THERE!

Alan

    • haha this shit box doesn't drink coolant, for now       Let me guess, they make heaps of power, use the car for straight line driving and don't care about noise
    • They’re so great that I know of someone pulling one out to go back to a sequential 
    • Hello everyone. I've recently started the research into R34 GTR front bits and running into eye watering prices. On the plus site it looks like some places make 'replacement' fender liners for these cars. At eye-watering-but-less than stock prices. I also noticed there's plenty of diffuser options available too. What I would like to know is if my following assumptions are correct. 1) The OEM guard liners are actually only 'half' the liner. They go together with the OEM brake vents which are a separate item which looks to be quite a large 'panel' that is part of the liner. The GTR bumper has bolt holes along the front. I assume the ones in the vent correspond to the ones the OEM liner does not have (circled?)   2) The V-Spec front diffuser supplants the brake ducts in the above item. I am assuming these still work with the guard liners as there's no alternate part that I'm aware of. I don't see how they go together, so I'm making the assumption that they have to, somehow. I know the center splash guard is different on the V-Spec (and is the price of the damn diffuser alone). How does the liner interact with this? 3) There's alternate front diffusers that do away with it all. Annoyingly, a lot of the clones and CF different ones... have no brake ducts on them. I like the idea of them though. My brakes get hot on the track. These alternate diffusers are a lot cheaper than plastic splash guards. I'm assuming you don't have to/aren't supposed to remove guard liners to run a diffuser. I suspect that quite a few people actually do not run the guard liner because with a front undertray you're getting a lot of 'splash' guarding anyway, and most people remove liners given they're probably running a pretty aggressive setup with a diffuser at the front. It would also be nice to know if anyone has ever run the 'reproduction' guard liners and know whether the fitment is OEM quality or "OEM Quality". Example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/356254671561 https://carbonetics.net/products/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-plastic-front-wheel-arch-set Is this knowledge still around?
    • Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done...   And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right?  
    • And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car.   Because race car, and wanting the lightness.  At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards
