Hi guys,

I know most of you despise or don't really like most of the people that hang around boostcruising, but Chris (boostedS15) has organised an exclusive dragracing day at Willowbank.

Please refer to here http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....opic=36990&st=0 for more details.

All you have to be is a member of the site to be able to register. It would be nice to see a big contingent of skyline members out there again :cheers:

I'm in! Who else?

Hrm second thoughts, Andrew had informed me that Aussie Auto will be embarking on the same venture which MIGHT be cheaper. I won't be attending this one, as we are kinda helping to organise the Aussie Auto one and I'm not that rich :D

I'll upgate you further when I know more details.

ummm....wouldn't that be QLD raceway, not Willowbank?
I was thinking the same thing. Might take a while to complete 300ks in 400m increments.

Heres the spill from the organiser himself

"Due to QLD 300 (v8 supercars) being on at willowbank on the SAME date as proposed track hire,(even willowbank forgot as the raceway is seperate), is OCTOBER okay?? simple yes/no. A long way away i know but more mods can be planned at least!"

Erin you might be able to answer this:

it says the costs is $4400 to hire the track. 60 competitors. $73.50 each is fair enough.

But the willowbank guy says that spectators should be charged $15 to offset this price.

So correct me if i am wrong... but with $60 competitors paying their $73.50 to make the $4400... that would mean that every single spectator after contributing $15 for no reason.

Maybe i am missing something, But charging people extra money for a track that has been booked and paid for in full...

that is one thought, my other thought is that spectators just pay to enter the private property, if this is the case, the $4400 track fee is paid by competitors, then i think the spectator fee should be lowered.

And having said all that i would be keen to participate if my car is complete :D... time to take down some r33's

EDIT: *** This post was not intended as starting a shit fight or bagging boostcruising or the people involved in hosting the event. I infact applaud the people responsible for such an opportunity. Just asking some questions to satisfy my over working brain ***

Dave I agree. Obviously the extra money would be going into someones pocket. As Andrew said, why would you pay $73 to race when you could go to willowbank on a wednesday night (the last few have been pretty bare) and get like 10 + races for $30. Or another alternative, cap the numbers off at 120 and have them pay $30 for 10 runs each... :S

I've thought of all that myself :D

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
