They said the cone was there for safety, as we were bringing grass into the track....There was no grip there anyway, so a little grass on the track wasn't going to do any harm.

It really was all about drifting russ. Only about a dozen time attack cars turned up but there were shitloads of crab cars there.

Its difficult to put a finger on why the noms were so low for the time attack but I'll offer my opinion and share my experience from the weekend.

On the saturday after bucketloads of rain the night before i headed out for a look and was quite surprised at the setup. No spectators allowed in the pit parking area, They directed us around the back of the track where I paid 25 bucks for a ticket, quite reasonable I thought. I then tried to drive around to the designated spectator area and promptly gave up, It was a Lousianna swamp. I am getting around with the aid of a walking stick atm so no way was I going back out to the main sealed park and then walking all the way around to the back of the track so I went home.

Sunday I persisted and tried again, I spoke to the organiser and explained my dillema and they promptly allowed me to park in the pit area, I was extremely grateful for their willingness to accomodate me, Thank you again to the organisers.

This then highlighted what I felt was wrong with the event, They had set the spec area up out the back because thats where the crabs were doing there thing so it made sense from that perspective but to those like me who were interested in the time attack it was pretty flat. As to why entrys were so low in the time attack I am not sure, Perhaps its because we qlders have time attack laid on by the bucket load and couldnt see the value in what they were asking to participate. I and a lot like me are not trying to win anything when we go to track, We do it for the enjoyment. Besides, competing in the whole track battle deal is way beyond the wherewithall of the average tracker with the other 2 events in Melbourne and perth. It would take some fancy folding and time away to follow the full circuit.

From what I did see the event was well run with plenty of personel on the ground and everything running to a good tight schedule. The mudcrabs looked like they were really enjoying themselves and given they were the majority by a wide margin thats a good thing.

If it were me running the event (and it isnt) I would somehow try and do what other succesful events at qr do. Put everything on the pit side of the track, throw it open to all and create some atmosphere.

Congrats to the promoters for having the balls to have a go and i hope it grows to bigger and better things for you.

Once again a personal thank you for sparing me the journey on foot to the far extremes of the circuit.

I heard a CAN of Coke was $4.50..... what a f**king rort!

You found a can of coke for sale! :w00t: All I could find was bloody draino (pepsi)

It was a rip too but you get used to that at the raceways. :ermm:

i was considering entering but could tell that the time attack side of things was gunna be a waste of time.. who can be stuffed getting the car all prepped just to drive around bumpy ass QR with no incentives on offer.

also heard entry fee was something stupid like 400+? surely not

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
