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

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
