I would like to get into hill climbs and sprint days round symmonds. But it seems you need a cage in your car for most things here. And my car wasn't ready when the LCCT had there street car shoot out :)

Yep hire the track for a day is $99 per person if your not a member of a club.

Motorsport Tas are amazed at the turnout and hope to hold more events soon, and while its still hot on the press (next 6 weeks). they are also talking about making the track a bit safer to run in reverse.. ie make pit entry safer so you don't get what happened to Adams car on sunday.

gonna be sick!!! time to work 24/7 on my car!

do you need a harness? And where do I get info on events and what not?

I've only checked the LCCT and it said that you need a cage

no harness just an international standard seat belt.

read close and you'll see it only says the cage is recommended, not compulsory! its worded this way for insurance.

send me an e-mail and i'll forward you some info on events and stuff - [email protected]

Hopefully without sounding like a wet blanket... if you intend doing speed events like hillclimbs etc with any regularity, and especially if you're going to try for every last tenth, I'd strongly recommend a cage and at least basic safety gear. I know that for many it seems impractical or expensive but when things go wrong (and unfortunately things do sometimes) it's too late to change your mind.

It's about more than rules and reg's.

If you don't have the safety gear just take it easy and treat it as fun not competition. Racetracks, cars, speed etc should be treated with respect not blind optimism.

I encourage people to take it to the track, but keep things in perspective and use common sense.

Stuart,

Whats the cost involved for a CAMS licence? ive been told $450, i already have officiating licence for F4 Flag Marshall, S4 Scrutineer, V4 Rally/Offroad, J4 Specialist and U4 Gen Comp Area.. i dunno what i can use them for tho as atm i only do targa, but i know a drivers licence is different tho

Yeah very interested in getting my CAMS as well so i can get into racing maybe??? Although after the weekend maybe have to get into drifting instead!!!

An L2S (Supersprints, hillclimbs etc) licence is $66 from memory. That’s for a year, but to participate you also need to be a member of a CAMS Car Club - TDRC, LCCT, HSCC, NWCC etc. TDRC membership is $40 I think.

For the state and national circuit races and series you need what’s called a National Circuit licence, I just got my renewal (and lost the paperwork already!) for this and it is about $400 + medical ($100) + Car club membership.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
