i remember reading, from a while back, the guidelines for the eastern creek off street drags.

one of the clauses stated that the car has to be registered in your own name. my car is a fleet car and as such registered in my company's name. any off street action my car is going to see will have to be accompanied by a letter from my company.

do the ppl at eastern creek really crack down on this rule? or are they abit "lax" about it? or do they even still have it!?

cheers,

Yes they check this every time make sure you have the correct paper work otherwise they won't let you race. I have seen them turn away a few people.

I would call them up before you go and get the exact details of what they need from your work as i remember they have some regulations about this stuff.

Make sure you tell us when you go i'm keen to see what the yellow beast runs :D

My car is like that as well in joint names with myself and my mum.

The first time i had a letter written by my mum (Merli) saying i had permision to race it. As long as the letter is in different hand writting to yours they don't really have a way of checking wether its real or not :D

The 2nd time i had a letter but they said they didn't need it this time because my name was on the rego papers as well.

Remember to wear long pants (jeans) and long sleve shirt otherwise they won't let you race.

Not sure mate your better of giving them a ring but i doubt it would be a problem as cars come from interstate to race for big events etc.

They don't give a crap.

I went in once and handed over the rego papers of my silver skyline. It was put in my dad's name for insurance purposes, and I didn't get a note from him...

The chick behind the desk said: "Is your father here?"

Me: "No..."

Chick: "Is.... Your.... Father.... Here?"

Me: "errrrr... Yeah... He's outside"

Chick: "Good... Go get him to write a note giving you permission to race the car"

Me: "No worries" :D

Went outside, got someone (Kabab?) to write the note for me, and went back... The chick nodded and accepted the note without even looking at it.

Easy. They don't give a crap :rolleyes:

heheh..thanks for the info guys.

i guess if you were to bring a car from another state and rego papers to say its in your name it should be fine ... i can't see how it could be a problem.

looks like i'll *get* a letter from work then :D

I don't think i wrote that one seeing as my hand writting looks like a 12 year olds but i think you wrote my permision slip first time we went :(

Hi Franks,

I'm in the same situation, and went to the drags 2 weeks ago. Had a note on company letterhead saying it was OK to run the car (that's what their website required), and had no problems. Of course it helps that it's my company anyway:p . If you can get one it could be worth saving the hassle.

One other thing, it helps if you can get there early, I had two runs in a hour before 5, but it was more like 1.5hrs between once everyone had arrived.

so not being able to create a simple letter is the reason why you choose to endanger yourself, others around you, possible confiscation of your car, loss of license and even imprisonment when you street race?

thats pretty silly dude!?!?!?

I didn't actually spin out... Just went off-roading for a while :(

And it was only 201km/h... Apparently they had a Porsche GT2 that did 210km/h down the straight of Oran South Circuit :eek: :eek: That's some *MAJOR* speed for that little straight!!!!

Glad you enjoyed yourself MIZ.33T :P

      Another BK R32 GTR money pit...

      By BK · Posted

      Have I not posted since 2022 ? wow... Yes, it's pretty much finished mechanically. I'll probably sell it soon as the old man is 80 in November, so 99% he won't ever drive it again. I don't really need 3 GT-R's and I haven't driven any of them since September last year - correction, drove my 33 earlier this year on Australia day. All of them have been like this since then.

      So, after talking to Tyson at Auto Tech Engineering about my "cunning plan", he suggested to "not piss money away on stuff that the car probably doesn't need" (the max IAT at the end of the 1/4 ever only seen around 30°C, which is in no way a issue, and as such, for what I use the car for I really don't need colder IAT anyway The whole point of the "upgrades" that I thought about doing was that my IAT started creeping up from 25°C to 30°C when cruising, then drop back down, then raise back up, rinsing and repeating, it has never done that before, so after talking to FI interchillers they assumed that it was the Bosch pump starting to fail, and if I was going to replace the pump....... I would do my usual thing of "while where in there" But, Tyson said he has seen similar things happen to IAT with failing or leaking AC compressors on other cars with interchillers, and as the AC compressor is 22 years old it is probably well on the way out anyway, and if a electric water pump fails it stays failed and doesn't just speed up and slow dow, but if a AC compressor starts to fail or is leaking, it will fluctuate and give a typical result to the IAT He said he could test the compressor and see how it is functioning and pressure test the whole system, but, as I do, I've just got them to order a new compressor to install to start with, and do a AC service and see if that fixes the issue That way, if it is the compressor, I wouldn't be spending lots of coin on something that wasn't the issue, and not actually needed, as the stage 2 kit, and pump, comes in at around $2k in parts alone, not including the plumbing and other parts that will be required or labour  And apparently the Bosch pump I have is really reliable and well up to task for the flow/pressure requirements that I need to keep my intercooler and massive amounts of boost heat (7 psi LOL) under control giving a nice and cold IAT A big shout out to Tyson for this, not many people will talk a idiot out of wasting money on car modifications, and the saved car budget funding can be wasted elsewhere on things that I may, or may not, need, like a nice new leather SS interior with red stitching......maybe I can convince the Minister for War and Finances into a nice trip down to Victoria for a week away to see the sights (I'll explain that I will need a hire car once we're down there so we don't have to worry about the Commodore being parked up on the streets at night, and it just so happens there's a joint that I can store it during that time) $1680 for all of the interior trims, + installation cost (I'll ask for a quote to install the trim if the new compressor fixes the issue)   https://leatherseats.com.au/products/leather-seats-trim-skins-kit-to-fit-vt-vx-vy-ser1-ss-green-black-diy-install

      Google tells me that's a Japanese Rat Snake... 2m long? Man I think Australia has traumatised me to think all snakes are dangerous unless they're pythons. Also... "16 years later..." is that a record on SAU @PranK?
