Sauwa Motorplex Night 11th January 2006

[Pulp]

Hi guys

someone can take my place - i will be selling Niz hopefully early this year so will resist the urge to thrash. She's at the shops today getting new tyres, new suspension and a few other bits n pieces as it is.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Oh no! are you upgrading or moving to somthing different?

[Nizmo]

not really place to discuss but will just answer your question quickly: I plan to do a little bit of both - upgrade with something a little different (don't worry still a nissan) its a project i've been itching to do for the past 18months. Won't be upgrading straight after the sale of Niz - will take me about 6 months later to get the funds together.

No i won't be selling the plates either

sry guyz n girlz, looks like after waiting so long for this event to arrive, i wont be able to join ya's. car is unfortunately out of action for a couple of wks. clutch has started to slip a bit, so decided to replace and upgrade whilst im fixing it. might try come down and watch, but if i cant have a great night.

Whats the verdict.. group buy on octane booster?

Does it actually make a difference?

[Pulp]

I was going to put some in tomorrow or Tuesday. I think it would make a difference.

[Topaz]

quick question, where do competitors enter on this map?. I would assume the entrance in the middle of this capture......right?!

[damono]

A few questions..

1. What would you say would be a good tyre pressure for 18x265x35 tyres on a R33 GTST

2. Does octane booster really make a difference?

3. I have a fat head, does anybody have a spare helmet I could borrow?

4. How much petrol should be have in our tanks.. 1/4 tank before the night, i dont want to carry too much cos of the weight, but i wouldnt want to run out.

Cheers

Topaz - the entrance is VERY obvious. You drive in off Anketell Rd and there are BIG signs saying 'competitor entry'. You go through the gates there and pay the person in the booth So as you turn into the motorplex rd off anketell, its your first right turn into the gates.

[dan_the_man]

1/4 of a tank would be fine.

For the octane booster question refer to these threads

ok cheers Liz , Ive been only once before when I was about 14-15 or something....

Wheres the closest petrol station? . I should have about 1/4 of a tank on the night as well

[damono]

Theres a 'better choice' servo just around the corner on rockingham rd towards perth direction but they sell poor ass fuel, theres definately no ultimate 98 or vortex. Actually.. come to think of it.. theres a Caltex just across the road from that one.

[Twista]

Hey Im thinking of comin down wit an white R33 skyline gtst - it'll be my first time racing so hopefully it will be good.

Also to see a group of skylines at the plex should be awesome for the spectators. : )

[Topaz]

I just heard this morning that Cyclone Claire will be ruining the weather for us from Wednesday evening on to about Friday

[dan_the_man]

From Bom:

Wednesday : Rain developing later. Min: 17 Max: 32

Drags are still on. Hopefully it will be ok

I'll keep in contact with the motorplex. If the drags are called of it will be posted here.

The nearest BP is on Gilmore ave, which runs off thomas road. From Anketell you would go back to the roundabout (Abercrombie) and turn right, follow to end and turn left onto Thomas, right at the traffic lights onto Gilmore and follow to the BP. It's not very far from the plex, probably 2 or 3 km's....

[thrtytwo]

I'm gunna come down with a few mates so i can see all the skylines, my mates love em too so yeh, what time are you guys running ?

[dan_the_man]

There is no set time for us to run. Its just from when they open the gates until they finish

[PSI_GTSII]

For people coming from NOR down the freeway i'd suggest a fillup at BP THOMPSONS LAKE (Gateways Shopping centre).

Exit the freeway at Beeliar / Armadale Rd just on RH Side of Bridge is BP

Then Jump back on Freeway

BTW, IMHO Octane Boosters are waste of time unless you are planning to run more boost, Advance your timing or you basically think you are going to get Detonation on the night, putting Octane booster into your 10psi Boosted Skyline will do nothing

[PSI_GTSII]

Also, I know they dont normally allow Specatators in the Competitors entry but can 'Skyline' driving Spectators park with the competitors on the night....?
