It is what it is. They could probably double the price and still fill the field.

Its just capitalism at work.

As a spectacle it worth every cent. The best collection of wild imports in the southern hemisphere on display make it a not to be missed event on my calender.

They should line them up for a 5 lap race! That would be a spectacle. The Superlap thing can be quali :)

But agree, with regards to entry the event certainly isnt for everyone. But as a punter it will be a good weekend/spectacle. I just hope the local lads can get some meaningful kms on their cars during the year and take it to the blow ins :)

$1200 is pretty damn expensive for 2 days but it's the spectical and atmosphere (hype) that makes it so good. Better start saving my pennies and keep the development happening! It's not that far away!

You entering Boxhead?

Club Sprint.

It's an expencive weekend though from Vic.

Sure is but so worth it!

So entry, tyres, fuel, accom etc or another OS car holiday? Hmmmm, I doubt my car would make it throught he fashion police requirement anyway :)

I have only attended the first Oran Park event so would love to spectate and barrack for Russ in his cheater spec GTSt :thumbsup:

What do yo mean cheater spec??? haha It's the same as your car only wider!

Don't you go just for the drifting Noel?

BAHAHAHAHA :rofl::rofl:

The price increase was inline with something about more track time wasn't it?

Yet the schedule/timing looks exactly the same... :mellow:

Yeh, more track time...but same number of sessions?!? errrrr?

Less cars on the track....was that a real issue last year?

Don't understandy, I'll be there in some capacity anyway. If I'm going to lay down 3-4 track days entry for a single event is something

to be seen.

i am surprised noone has jumped on the bandwagon about the entry date and conditions of entry that have been posted up yesterday?

Its an improvement, but I don't think it goes far enough. They should be accepting entries based on how fast their car is, not on how fast their entry form is.

Some sort of pre qualifier? Based on natsoft times?

I can see the merit for Pro. But Open and Club...not sure.

based on natsoft times done in the last 12 months... It wouldn't be too hard to work out what reasonably fast times are for interstate tracks. Particularly now that we've had a couple of WTAC events - you can easily compare who did what at EC WTAC to what they do at their home tracks...

People are paying to get in to watch this event, and there's more demand than supply for positions. Why shouldn't we see the fastest cars. Who wants to pay to watch a 2min Clubsprint car, or mid 50's Open Class cars when faster cars miss out just because they didn't get their entry form in within an hour of entries opening?

100% agree, for open class and club, its not even worth paying to watch if its just another supersprint, it should be the best of the best, therr are plenty of fast cars and fast drivers out there, it would be a pity for them to miss out because a average car and driver kept them out because their entry fee was in before them.

I hope the T shirts are better than the last 2 years, my 2009 one is still good but the 2010 one lasted about a week before the print fell off, I couldn't find any for 2011.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
