Apparantly its cheaper to buy a three day pass than to buy a Saturday and Sunday pass seperate, whats your opinion in regards to seating or general tickets still not to sure.

Out of curiosity is anyone going out to the octagon round, its on Sunday I think but not sure what time.

Also welcome back guys just home from holidays. How was the Autosalon and congrats to platinum, didn't think Tassies quality of cars was as good as it seems.

Cheers Lavers

cheers mate, MAS was excellent, put together really well.

Grandstand would probably be better but its personal preference, And grandstand have only just been built so who knows how good it'll be....

Might go out to octagon, went out last meet and didnt even get to see my mate's rx3 in action got there just as he did a gearbox.

Yeah octagon is free on Sunday only thing is I'm unsure what time it starts.

Also on 20 November Tarmak dragway is holding one of the new sport compact meets. Apparantly their is large interest amoung mainlanders such as PAC performance etc.

Will be nice to finally meet you all out there.

Cheers Lavers

Couldn't believe how many skylines I saw yesterday compared to how many people we actually have as members on here. Saw at least a dozen skylines and plenty of other imports. Overall I thought the racing was pretty poor but everyone is claiming that the new surface is heaps quicker.

See ya all soon Lavers

wasn't too bad, mate's rx3 did another gearbox in qualifying round, bit dissapointed. Octagon is getting more and more interest each round. crowds getting pretty big. Anyone know what happened with the silver 33 GTR? Last few laps it did it only putted around and didnt sound healthy...

I want to know the same thing, it was the only one and it sounded a bit sick and also was behind a couple of R32 GTSt's atone point!!! It wasn't right.

Was that a Dassun 200B with a turbo motor that killed its class? It was awesomely fast.

Some nice cars in the crowd I agree.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
