Just thought someone posted on here a while back about Dirt circuit racing so i was wondering if anyone had heard about it or knew of who it was that made the tread? I had a guy and his son come in to work and said they were buiding a car so I looked into it a lil and it looks like some fun. If anyone knows anything or someone I could chat with about it, please let me know.

yep know all about it mate ive been helping build the track the last 12 months what do ya want to know ? pm me ya ph number i can fill ya in cheers dean

From what ive heard is that the NA r33 gts4 with the AWD gets the power down a lot easier on the dirt. Where the big powered cars just will spin. Ive been offered a drive to check this sport out. Sounds like fun. I just have to make time for a look.

Here's a couple of videos from last season at Truro & district raceway. The in car footage is from an xf falcon.

It's going to be a big 2011 season with 8 race meetings in total, starting in April and finishing in November, this includes a grand opening in May. There are alot of new cars being built ready for this season, including a couple of gtr's (converted to RWD).

dirt circuit family membership is about 30 bucks a yr and anyone in the family can use the car . so on the day the same car could be used in juniors race and if ya mrs wants a race she can use it in the ladies race and you can drive it in whatever class you built it for .

ive seen the same cars run almost non stop all day lol .cost 10 bucks on the day too race ...all ya need is a crash helmet a pair of king gee overalls and leather boots as a minimun to go racing .

no cams lincense or huge entry fee's good family fun

cheapest motor sport around . i myself have a full space frame car with a quickchange sprintcar diff and coilovers all round with a ve commy body and 308 and owes my less than the average rb motor rebuild cost lol .

just make sure the roll cage in that 808 meets our specs or you could run into strife

cheers dean

Minibats,

I'll pm you a link to the pdf version of the rule book / build specs. You will need a hard copy to race ($10) but we are waiting for another batch of books.

Just for interest sake here is an approx break down of the costs for my build (street stock). I have a lot of bits and pieces from previous cars so it will actually cost approx $750- $800 with the extra parts. But starting from scratch this is what you would be up for.

XF falcon (carby version) $150

Rollcage steel $350

protective body bar work $150

second hand race seat $50

new g force 5 point harness $100

fire extinguisher $25

second hand jerry can fuel tank $20

gearbox, clutch for manual conversion (second hand) $50

front window mesh $20

side window net (second hand ) $25

Cheap gauge set $30

sheet metal for covering holes (lights, fire wall etc) $50

mud flaps $20

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

Total $1040

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

Extra parts if budget permits (second hand)

350cfm holley $100

extractors $50

cam shaft $50

valve springs (new) $100

* also need a second set of spare tyres.

I think Dean would agree with me, the secret to building a cheap dirtcircuit car is not rushing out and buying all the parts at once, but take you time sourcing cheap parts and you could save your self 50% of the build cost. Also getting together with a mate and sharing the car is a great way to save on build, maintainance & traveling costs. The racing is set up so there is 8 races per class during a meeting but all drivers can only compete in 4, so sharing a car does not mean you will miss out on any races.

Cheers Matt

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
