Kumho Lap Battle Championship Round 3 - Date & Location Change


Recommended Posts

Hi gregor, just confirming there are still spots available? Also, my car has a halfcage and is not registered, will there be any dramas passing scrutineering? Not sure which Type my car falls under according to the following:

Yep there are still spots available, although for obvious reasons the sooner people enter the less chance of missing out. I'll post up when its almost full.

If you are serious about entering but waiting on the car to be ready you can get your form through and pay a little bit later. It wont reserve your spot but the organiser can contact you if it's filling up and your cash still isnt in yet.

Edit: Don't stress too much about the type. If you arent sure get your entry in and we can figure that out later. Also dont forget you'll need a CAMS license, please get it arranged early to avoid hassles :cheers:

Im just waiting on getting my car back before I commit funds at this stage, BUT, I picked up 2 x KUMHO V700 235/40 17 from FSPORT which was my prize from the last track day, ( I think it was for spilling the most oil........sorry)

They should fit nice on the front of the boat

Im super happy.

Thankyou KUMHO and John from FSPORT.

good to hear, thanks for giving John the shoutout he deserves for supporting club level guys like us.

That's right. maximum 100 entrants. Likely numbers will be somewhere between 80 and 100, looking for around 20-25 per manufacturer.

That might sound like a lot but it's a bigger track than wakefield and with the cost of EC you need a fair few entrants. I dont think anyone will go home unhappy with the amount of track time they get.

Yes, it is a slightly longer track, meaning to keep the same space as 48 vehicles at wakie, you only want 80 cars at EC. But as noted, the cost to hire is extravagent... And knowing the cost of hiring, from my quick sums, the WRX club will basically be losing money with 100 entrants... Unless someone is sponsoring them... Quite a cheap day for EC...

Eastern Creek is awesome, I've done days with the WRX club there, there is lots of space as most people don't go out every session, I'll get the paperwork work done ASAP then.

The passenger discussion is probably a bit of a detour as far as this event is concerned. Probably best to PM an exec if that needs to be followed up.

Now I've got a list of entrants as of Tuesday and we are still looking to fill a bunch of Nissan spots. If the spots arent filled very soon the opportunity will be opened and promoted to other clubs to fill the numbers. If you want SAU to get the chance to be invited to a full track Eastern Creek day in future the best thing you can do is support it by entering.

Remember you will need a CAMS license, if you dont have one get your paper work in ASAP.

The cumulative score is very close. i went back and reviewed every time (a substantial job) after some errors were discovered and im putting them together. You should see a post tomorrow or on the weekend at latest.

I wont post up the entry list as not everyone from there is on SAU or may not want to be listed on a public forum. But if anyone wants to know if they are confirmed in they can PM me. I know thats different to the way SAU normally does things.

Cumulative results posted. Sorry it's a few days after I said it would be. Plenty to do lately and never enough time. <BR><BR>Also the WRX club is close to opening this up to other clubs to ensure they fill numbers. I really thought there would be more SAU guys jumping on the chance to go to Eastern Creek. If you are holding off get those entries in soon before other clubs snap up the spare spots.

Crap, forgot about entering, been thinking about the day but forgot I havent entered, I actually filled them out but I have no idea what happened to them, LOL, will RE-download forms and pay asap.

Sorry.

EDIT; Just paid at the WRX web site, see you there.

The little white "EVO" will be there, I look forward to renewing the battle with the two big bad R34's (or one it appears... :(..)...

I also have improved the car from dead stock last time out at Wakefield... Althou, I'm concerned about the R34's outright straight line speed and the main straight of Eastern Creek... tehehehehe...

Bring it on Skyline Boys... Looking forward to it.

There is still spots left. Looking over the entrants list there are a few GTRs including one new one, a bunch of silvias and a couple of 300/350s too.

There's also 3 hondas on the list too, there might be a few more if the Nissan guys don't get some entries in.

That would have been 1 big bad R34 and one mostly stock R33 (now upgraded but not attending). I wouldn't worry about the straight as long as you can hold the 1st corner :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
