yes, however if you look at i think the singapore track for example.

My fried has taken his son twice there. Each time he buys a ticket whilst there and gets it for pretty much half the price on the website. So just wondering what the cost is, regardless of costs on websites.

Hey Guys,

My little boy is 18 months and being a doting dad my dream is to take him to Melb one day and watch the formula 1 with him, perhaps when he is 5.

Which has me thinking, currently what are the prices for tickets eg general? Vip? Gold class? any prices would be great so i can start saving $$$

Thanks all!

My boy is 8 and I'm taking him this year, prices were $400 for me and $99 for the boy for the 4 day weekend in the Prost stand.

Well thanks to the scumbag crooks that tried to steal my car the other week I am now not able to do the full speed laps around the Albert Park circuit and it appears I have pissed my money into the wind ... oh well. That is life with cars I guess. :(

I bet Webber sux balls this weekend just to rub salt into my wounds. Kimi will probably blow up and Roamin take out Dan in the first lap.

Thanks rb26zed. Thats the info I am after. Going to start saving now.

You recon 8 years old is perfect age or could you have taken him earlier?

P.S. thanks BenM checking out that site now. Looks good!

Dezz- general admin seats normally ok?

Really depends on the kid. I would have taken him earlier but this is my first time aswell, as I live in Brisbane.

I've taken my boy to various motorsport events including drifts, sprints and drags and he enjoyed them all. I started with the Winternationals when he was about 2. He loved the top fuel cars.

It's not really what the event is that matters so much for the age to take them, it's more about at what age you would feel comfortable taking him somewhere that you have be there for the whole day or days and keep the kid entertained enough throughout. Kids vary greatly in that regard.

I think from 4 onwards would be a good age for most kids who have a bit of an interest in motorsports and have been to a few shorter local events beforehand.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
