I was talking to a guy at work the other day and they were up there friday night too. apparrently you just ring them during the day to check if its on.

i could be keen to come down if there are a few people going

dezzus i just got my alignment all set up earlier today. zero'd out the camber on the rear because it was squatting like a frog. Things good to go.

Flyingfridge - im going 100%, its been way too long since iv run a number and ive never run it since i did all this work.

I was just spectating on the Friday gone, it was a pretty good turnout, lots or Skylines running and some pretty decent numbers too.

Btw Calder is traditionally shocking at cancelling stuff at the last minute (we hiked up the other week for nothing), so make sure you call to confirm on the day, the number and other info here: http://www.calderparkdragracing.com.au/

Have been planning on going soon as well, been getting ready for a few weeks, just need to buy a full face helmet. Someone should organize an event :)

Anyone know anywhere to get a cheap/decent helmet that meets the standards? Gonna try local Suzuki bike dealer, although heard they're pricey...

I got mine from http://www.amxsuperstores.com.au/ $100 full face helmet. If I was getting into some more high speed track work, I'd be going for a more expensive higher quality one though.

You'll need a proper snell approved helmet. It is protecting your melon after all. I use my dirt bike helmet which seems to keep them happy.

Hopefully next week it stays dry and is a little on the crisp side at night. Should be awesome.

according to that site no street meet until the 7th.....

Im planning to race my r33 on a friday night up at calder. Is it still like the old days you just roll up pay and run or do i haveto book online and all that jazz? any help appreciated.

Make sure you have cash on you as they don't take cash. I ran on Friday for the 1st time in 2 years and didn't realize. Had to run to the servo to get cash out. $65 to enter and $25 to spectate.

Phillis, mates mate went the other night, pretty sure he didn't book or anything, but he got knocked back for excessive camber (drift car), and they didn't let him run..

I was next to that bloke getting scrutineered. They didn't let him run cos his tyres were basically rubbing on his guards and he was being a wanker.

Whyd you haveto pay 25 to spectate though?

Because it's a fun night out with hours of entertainment and they need a little thing called money to pay bills and keep the lights on (literally).

Fun night out with hours of entertainment that requires a little thing called money? Sounds like a night with your sister :)

Gtrjet: if I enter my car its just entry fee for me and spectators fee for anybody else yes? Or enter the car and pay that 25 fee ontop?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
