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?

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
