Motorsport is dangerous. You or your car could get hurt etc etc etc

There are walls to hit, it's no Wakefield park. The only place where the wall is at the edge of the track is on the last turn. Everywhere else it is either open or kitty litter before the wall. They are no closer than EC's walls, and there's no fast 180kph turns....

If it's on a weekend I can probably come along (not as an participant, but as a photographer)

I will bring my new Digital SLR and lenses along..

I should be right for about 350 photos on the 1Gb Drive

Hey Jason,

I have a 6gb X-Drive you can off-load the photo's onto if need be and I am there on the day :)

Which DigiSLR do you have your paws on? :eek:

silver-arrowz- yeah thought so, i was just curious, might join in for the track day though.

prank- i actually just missed out on getting that car in my avatar, it was an already prepared drift car, the bid went too high. but i picked up a 95 model 180sx instead at the auctions, i should have the keys in my hands by next wednesday. ill probably sell it soon though, and then order another 180...this time ill make sure i have a 97 model, i absolutely love em, they look awsome and they are rare in sydeny and oz......but another 5 gees ontop of a 95 model 180.

yours looks preety good aswell man, black looks the best.

i just checked the motoconcepts website and it says the entry fee is $200 for this day?? i am not willing to spend $200 + petrol for one day...

but if we r getting some sort of group discount i am interested in participating... :P

$200 less discount sounds about right, it was 140 for last full day at EC but that was a weekday - fair bit more on the weekend.

Most fun you'll ever have for $200......

My whale did 1.11. Its another great track, both wakefield and oran park own EC.

We'll have to do a day down there when it cools down a bit, they have cheap open practice days pretty regularly

how much did it cost u last time u went to wakefield? i am thinking $80 (entrance fee) + $30 (licence fee, i'm first timer) + $60 (return trip petrol cost) + $80-90 (petrol spent on track..) = $250-260 (+ lunch) ?? am i on the right track?? ^_^ thanks

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
