What can I say, the situation sucks, but there's no point fighting with each other about it. If you're going to be angry towards anyone it should be towards the WSID execs showing the awful attitude towards us, the import community that supports them.

I hope that a resolution can be made and look forward to hopefully attending the rescheduled meeting next year.

I agree that starting fresh next year is the best option. There's way too much on between now and Christmas to try and organise another day at WSID.

For those that still want to race, there's always the Sport Compact meet at WSID on December 17th ($110 to compete) or good ol Wed nights at WSID.

I've never had a go at any of these Sport Compact meets before, but since there's no SAU drag day and i've still got the bug to race, i've decided to turn a negative into a positive and have decided to enter. I personally think it would be awesome if we could get a heap of Skylines out there and make a day of it :)

Adam, excellent work on organising the refund from WSID.

Look forward to the drag day next year :D

Still think I will be away but if I'm in town I'll be out there to cheer you on ;)

I will be directly depositing from tomorrow. I've had to wait for the WSID cheque to clear in the SAU account then a cheque to be written to me, deposited and cleared in my account before I can start depositing to the entrants accounts.

Some of it is directed at us. At least they finally spelled out the rules for us but of course no admission that they have been lax in providing those rules to us previously.

"To be fair, this may simply occur through a lack of understanding on the part of the hirer" This was the closest they came.

hmmm i have to shake hands with minster tomorrow maybe i sould pull him aside and tell him what i think lol

ahh well all 11.0 and below racers, may as well sell the car and drive a stocker. To say we are dissapointed would be an understatement....were gutted!

Thats a crock of shit Adam...did you read the last paragraph...they dont even have a hiring agreement drawn up...they are only doing it now...can't wait till Canberra opens...we have a international grade track in the pipeline up here..Motorplex is behind it....they are having a blue with the RTA about constructing an overpass....a 3.5klm race circuit too.

WSID never had any form of written agreement? On what basis was the track being hired out? Whatever rules they felt like making up at the time? What a disgrace. Alot of double standards there. They won't allow sub-11 second cars at private track days, but only allow SS and higher to hire the track with a maximum of 8 vehiclles @$550 each? So if, say, the owner of a (street-registered and driven) sub-11 ET vehicle wants to race then they either (a) must be ANDRA licenced and can only use the track hire with a maximum of 8 cars @$550 each; or ( B) they can attend a Wednesday night street meet. However, they can't attend club private days.

Doesn't seem fair or reasonable to me. The same car can attend a Wednesday night street meet, but cannot attend a private (street) car club meet, but 11.00+ cars can attend both.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
