Hi guys.

Just something I've been thinking about, I couldnt really squeeze time off this time round to go to superlap this year. could have but family business, its in my own interest to knuclke down and make mullah.

So, next year I'm planning to go. But rather than just fly up and watch, I think I'll organise a trailer and tow my car up and have a crack. Would be a fantastic experience.

obvioulsy I'll be putting some more work, time and money into the car but the aim is to go up, have fun and hopefully come back in one piece. would be a great learning experience, still get to see some of the worlds fastest cars in action and get to steer at EC.

would either enter street tyre class or Open (semi's)

probably going to have a spend min 5k between now and then, but thats fine.

and without the car itself, fuel in the tow car, accommodation etc and meals and entry plus ferry, i'd guess 3-4k. thats allowing 1k for fuel 2k for ferry.

I have family in syd, not too far away, maybe 45 minutes from EC, plus I think I can nab myself a trailer for nix.

so if anyone was thinking of having ago and would be keen on a roadtrip, something to think about anyways. :cheers:

HSCC are working towards hopefully running Tasmania's first time attack event either later this year or early 2012.

Discussions have been underway for a little while as to the best event format for the first event.

If it all ends up going ahead as planned you will all have plenty of notice :).

I was about to say, we should have our own Time attack here in Tassie! With Black jack! and hookers!

Every driver that has a fit Mrs, sister or mother has to submit them as promo girls that can walk around. All the not so attractive ones can just go be flag marshals.

Two Classes, Street and Open.

Streets have to be road legal and registered, can't go faster than 63?

Open is what ever. Need a cage and all that fun stuff.

Sounds great, exactly what the tas motorsport scene needs. I'm sure it will be very popular, I'm keen!

Don't get me wrong, i think 'timeattack' is good will get more people in. I have wondered why one of the clubs didn't rename their supersprints to timeattack to entice more young people.

Because old people that hate young people organize it :P

marketing marketing marketing! tis important.

I think it will take off, its something that seems to be growing well world wide. And I think because it will put all different types of cars in the mix, it will be healthy for the local motorpsort scene.

it shouldnt be as hard on cars or equipment as drifting and should be less than super series I guess.

I do hope it takes off, would be great to see half a dozen or so events held each year. combine that with the hill climbs, drifting and super series etc bit going on.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
