Hey Guys,

i thought I'd post this up here because some people have been asking about it.

Can one of the mods make this sticky perhaps?

Events for Feb

6th Feb - Come and try day @ Baskerville.

12th Feb - Motorkahna @ Symmons Plains

12th Feb - Oonah Road Hill Climb

13th Feb - Tas Super Series Round 1 @ Baskerville

19th Feb - Drift Practice Day @ Baskerville

20th Feb - State series Motorkahna round 1 @ Kempton

27th Feb - LCCT Club Day @ Symmons Plains

I got all the details from http://www.cams.com....0125&to=&page=1

For most of these events all you need on your car is:

- 900g or larger fire extinguisher secured in a metal bracket with bolts through metal with large washers on them. Needs with withstand a force of 25g.

- Tail shaft strap, to prevent the drive shaft from hitting the ground if it breaks. (You don't need this if your car is registered)

- Secondary means of securing the bonnet. eg. bonnet pins or strap. (I've seen people use dog collars and belts and all sorts, just as long as it stops the bonnet from opening should the stock latch fail) (Again, you don't need this if your car is registered)

- Clear contact over the headlights (Only if there are multiple cars on the track at once.)

- A blue triangle on your bonnet (or boot) where you battery is. (Or a white triangle if your car is blue, I made mine from electrical tape)

- Coolant overflow can't just go on to the ground, I just re-routed mine into a drink bottle. If you use powerade you get an extra 15kW

Normally you'd want to get there at like 8:30-9, scrutineering closes at 9:30 and racing starts at 10.

You can usually join a club and get a CAMS licence on the day, cost's a bit though, can't remember exactly but I'd take at least $250 cash with you your first time.

If anyone has anything more to add just post here and I'll add it to the OP. I'll try my best to keep this up to date.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread over the next year or so, looks very helpful :)

I was looking for some details on the 'Come & Try Day' at Baskerville, but it appears that the CAMS site hates the link (probably to do with the use of '&' in the query string, which normally denotes separate parameters, but anyway..) so I keep getting 'Bad Request'. This sounds like the perfect kind of first day for newbies like me, but since I can't get to the information I was wondering if anyone knew some basic details about it? (start times, usual crowd, prices etc) I realise time is running pretty short and I'm not certain the car is up for it yet, but will have to give it a go to find out :)

Thanks,

Jay

Yeah I know, their website is fkT, but what do you expect.

If you want more info on the come and try day try calling Dick on 6224 4134 hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on the situation. Post up here if you find out anything as I'm sure there are other people in the same boat.

Bump,

Motorkahna at symonds and Hill climb at oonah.

I strongly recommended the Hill climb, it's a tonne of fun :D

Unfortunately I wont be going :( Skyline isn't quite finished yet.

Also I forgot this in the OP

    • 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
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
