An interesting event has come up via Honda Car Club - on 30/11 - 1/12 there is a hillclimb at Bathurst.

Mount Panorama (The Esses)

4km from Bathurst

run by Bathurst Light Car Club

Record: 22.68 secs - Peter Gumley (SCV) - 13th February 2000

Start is on Mountain Straight and finish at McPhillamy Park.

This is a one-car at a time, timed event up the hill. You can still crash, but it won't be because someone else hit you.....

What you need:

1. CAMS L2S or higher license - you only need to join a club to qualify for this

2. non-flammable long pants, long sleeves, & shoes.

3. helmet

What the car needs:

1. secondary bonnet tie down, eg belt

2. blue triangle located on the bodywork above where the battery lives, eg blue electrical tape

4. fire extinguisher. Should be securely mounted within reach of the driver.

Kelly and I will be going up there for the weekend, anyone else interesting in competing/watching?

The supplementary Regulations are here on the Bathurst light car club site: http://www.blcc.com.au/November.htm#speedweek

Richard Colley at HCC is our contact 0410 664 140, I'm going to try and sign up myself in the next few days.

Do you have a fire extinguisher or any suggestion on who to speak to to get hold of one?

oh god yes! how much fun would it be having a fang around bathurst!!

but due to having a stockers car, crap tyres, brake pads that are due to be replaced, no helmet, no fire extinguisher, and no CAMS L2S licence...I'll have to say no :D

oh, and i've never raced my car anywhere before and would look like a slow-arsed idiot :mad: there's another reason :P

According to the regs, there's no closing date for entries.

And Shell, the only hard bit is the extinguisher - Kelly and I are both doing our first hillclimb here. (and our car's stock too). None of the skylines will be the fastest, hillclimbs are pretty open in classes, and some crazy open wheeler ex-f1 car will be a long way ahead of us.

Just going to have fun, and the chance to race at Oz's best track.

For those who don't mind going fast, there's also a timed sprint down conrod straight on the Saturday. Hope the speed limiter is gone:crazy:

Any estimates for speed before braking for the chase?

C'mon all, we need more than 2 skylines to take on the crowd at Bathurst.  Anyone else interested?

I am very interested Duncan, however my employer is also interested in me being at work then. :D

Maybe next time...:uh-huh:

I already have my license, but Kelly is hunting one down now, I think she's going to join Honda Car Club - I have their details if you like.

I think entries are closing this week, so you'll need to be quick!

Fatz, Kel and myself are going so far.

Well, despite a few skyline drop outs (looks darkly at Kelly and Pete), it was a great weekend at the mountain.

I came second in my class (lightly modified over 3L) behind a big hp senator in both the hillclimb and the sprint. Apparently that bloke could steer a bit too, he's an ex-group A racer so its not as embarasing as it could be to be beaten by a commodore. :Oops:

And there's always next year:D

Red, they're at the top of the page, just wave your mouse over them. Not too exciting though.

Silver-Arrowz, its at least an annual event, so I'll try and rustle up a bigger crowd next time. Top fun!

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
