Well if you feel you must charge but I think it's a bit rude to pay to watch a bunch of amateurs in street cars run timed laps.

I would be too embarrassed to expect my friends to pay to watch me so if there is going to be a charge can you let me know so I can tell them not to bother.

If the 20 entrants are covering the costs why charge spectators?

MC Motorsport days and Sprint series is free to watch and more entertaining.

Sorry , but I really feel you will kill this event this way.

hello my name is jai and i am the organiser of this event, brett who you

have been speaking to, works for me. now i have silently sat back and

watched as you abuse the night that we have spent hours working on.

but now i feel that it is going to far. for starters you go on like your

racing? but who are you? and have i seen your money? i dont think so.

the night is about people having fun and learing to race their own car

around a very challenging track at night. it gives them the opertunity to

see how they compare against similar cars, older cars and newer cars.

they may be new to racing or have done it for years, it is unfair to call

them amatuers, they are enthusiasts.

i dont believe it is rude to charge an entry fee. and only $5 i might add.

not $10 like the drifting. or $15 like wed night drags. 20 people DOES NOT

cover costs. 30 people DOES NOT cover costs.

clearly you have no idea and are clearly dreaming. people like you will sit

on forums all day long and bag out events like this because you dont have

the balls to stand up and participate. honestly i dont want you there with

that attitude. but im more than happy to invite YOUR friends to come and

watch.

Regards

Sorry Jai, I dont think R34 was abusing the night (and neither was I), it was just about the fact that spectators we may have told or invited have to pay.... which I'm sure wouldn't be an issue for them, maybe slightly unexpected though.

Also, I spose we wouldn't know the cost of the night in total, but if 20 people paying $150 doesn't cover charges we are grateful the rest of the cost has been made up or sacrificed

:)

I have been informed that track hire and insurance is $4000 alone just to give you some idea.

I do hope everyone turns up for this event as it is looking to be a top night with the selection of cars that we have on our list.

As a reminder, there will be a bbq food and cold drinks available on the night and that alcohol is not permitted...

Thanks for the clarification Brett.

I was under the impression that 20 people were required to break even. Now I know that not to be the case I stand corrected and apologise.

I did defend your fees early on in this post as others were complaining about the charge whereas I was appreciative of the work involved in making this work.

My issue was the costs charged to spectators but if this is factored in to break even then that is fine by me.

And now to answer Mr Jai <_<

That's ok, we aren't out to pissoff the car community. We're just trying to give them an opportunity to use their vehicles in the manner that they were meant to be used, but legally.

OK Jai

Firstly your not even a member of this forum to be handing out insults such as your uninformed ramblings above.

So Pull your head in and calm down.

Secondly let me state that you have $75 of mine sitting in your account.

So yes you should "think so".

Secondly I only just received my car from Japan and am not really ready to track it yet but when the event was in danger of not going ahead I made a promise to you that if you got to 19 entrants I would be the 20th. When you emailed me the money was in your account within 10 minutes even though I may not enter the event.

But I will pay the balance anyway...why?? because I gave you my word and that is of great importance to me.

I am dissappointed that you chose to grandstand on these forums rather than contact me directly and discuss my concerns like adults.

Now if me and my attitude are not the suitable I shall comply with your request and not come should an apology from you not be forthcoming.

Oh and finally on not having the balls to stand up and compete?

Who am I ?

I have

-Competed at state level in Rallying for 13 seasons

-Nationally seeded driver

-Nissan/Datsun club champion

-CAMS appointed official

-Autocross winner

-State motorkana class champion for 4 consecutive years

-Winner of numerous Hillclimbs

-Competitor in the Wanneroo 5 hour.

-Competitor in several Tarmac events

-Podium finish first ever Navigation Rally (as the Navigator)

-Still a self confessed amature.

And heaps of other events I haven't got time to list as I do not sit on the internet all day.

But I will post a pic of my trophy cabinet tonight as well if you like.

The remainder of my entry fee has now be transfered to your account but as I type this I'm just getting angrier.

I'm paid up but don't know if I will turn up if this is typical of your attitude. I'm there for fun and the love of the sport. If there is bad blood it ceases to be fun.

Wow...

Hope my Credentials are OK for the event as all I have is a 25metre Breast stoke swimming certificate from Primary school :) :lol:

Anyway....If its only the short track, I wonder whether its worth disconnecting the ECU 180kmh Speed limiter?

I still think it will hit it..... :P

any more info as this event is tomorrow and i havent received much about it.

do we pay the remainder at the gate? to someone inside (if its someone inside then do we also get charged entry fee? )

aaaaaaand such n such.

thanks

Shaun

Crap!! Hitting 180kph on the short track ?

You guys have got me running scared now :D

I have the limiter in place too but never gave it a thought as there is no way my poor NA will get to those speeds

Look forward to seeing you there :D

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
