hey Neil, your steering wheel is not round. how do you expect to do sick drifting? any progress this weekend?

and that car is bloody fast

hahah yeah I have 3 log books for my race car for the same reason. at least AASA accept CAMS licenses

BTW to further answer on wet performance, 2 weeks ago at Eastern Creek....bob pearson on dunlop dz03 1.58. duncan on falken fz201 2.14.....

pipster11 did you get the manual OK?

Ben....we need to know before the sale, not after! Neil..... also, speaking of torque wrenches I bought these the other day....1/4" and 3/8". Will still use the 1/2" beam style for important stuff like motors.

i used a set of generic thule racks, they are to fit a range of cars, ironically including volvo v70

moved to DIY section, great post!

BTW performance on the new setup is excellent

hahah I managed to do this with my stagea too! road dropped down and to the left

thanks emails are perfect

thanks mate

yeah I have exactly the same issue with the title of the email notifications - unfortunately it makes it impossible to manage the duplicate emails now. The old format was OK! Otherwise the upgrade looks great, and has been way smoother than other times over the years. Great work Christian!

Yay! People can now post without thinking first from anywhere

Thanks Damo really appreciate that. Obviously a major part of this problem for me is I don't know how to wire it all up myself, so its good to know it looks reasonable for a commercial package. Pretty much everyone retails the vertex radios (here and OS) for $1000+ for the pair so I figured it was in the ballpark. Re capacitor....you mean in the main 12v supply to the intercom? Can you link me to the sort of capaciter you mean from jaycar or similar?

lol ryan beat me!

SAU stickers come with SAU NSW club membership http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sa...p-F-t44115.html

we have asked the producers for a copy and the OK to distribute...will let you know if it's OK.

subscribed, looking for tips too

yeah mate, is coming with an aerial "to suit". we have talked about the car, roof type, and tracks it will be used at. I don't want the mic but suspect it will come in the radio box, and what bloody use is din fit when the are already gauges there..hope you have your mounting thinking cap on. and yeah a little under 1500 which seems ok considering all the bits. will post up how it goes next year

lol I thought this thread was about running slicks with no cage? And FWIW when I said Time Attack I was thinking "World Time Attack Challenge". QLD has a particular issue since Morgan Park is the only CAMS track left...... One other thing I'd like to know....a couple of people have made a distinction about "Race" cars as though they are inherantly faster than a street car. In my experience a log booked race car is likely to be less modified and heavier (cage etc) than the average road car that turns up to a sprint - so why make the distinction? Common regs should be common regs. A car should not be allowed more (or less) mods because it happens to have a number plate.

actually....I think time attack should adopt the CAMS supersprint regs - afterall it is a cams supersprint! These regs allow for type 5 already for cars which are above sports sedan spec like Duncan's R35. Protecting existing entrants is about the best way to become irrelevent as your potential entrants change. AASA are havnig a field day with this in racing and no doubt that will reflect on sprints in the future too. BTW while we are changing rules - I reckon the sooner NSW adopts the QLD distinction between "sprint" (ie best timed lap) and "supersprint" (best total time for 3 laps from a standing start) the better. It is indeed an excellent step between sprinting and racing, and would reduce the incidence of cars being developed for single flying laps only, allowing them to be more versitile and encouraging their owners to enter other types of events.

omg it's tj! I bet you aren't missing us with some of the tracks you can play on over there. Or are they really 99% ovals afterall? Thanks for that link it is excellent. Couple of things I have learned researching this: 1/ Stilo have lost my business. I spoke to all of the oz based online retailers and none could explain anything more than the blurb I could read from their website. Spoke to Stilo in Italy and they were very slow and didn't seem familiar with wanting both in car and car to pit in 1 system. 2/ All of the serious packages use Vertex radios. Mocomm are. The Sampson kit TJ linked are, and the ones I've decided to buy are. Which brings me to the way I am going. http://www.pmdraceproducts.com/racecommunications.html These guys are local and make their own intercom and looms, and resell the vertex radios. Still expensive but no worse than the US guys (unlike MoComm who are 100% more but no in car comms). I am getting VX2200 hard wired in the car so I don't need to deal with recharging etc. Their kit also comes with prewired loom and push to talk button. Not sure where to mount that yet because my steering wheel is detachable and the boss only allows for a horn button. Might just convert the horn to use as PTT and put the horn on the dash somewhere. Also comes with their inhouse "Enduro" intercom. Found a couple of people who have happily used them for years, and no-one who is unhappy with them. Will need an adapter for Stilo helmet. Then this for the pit side of the comms. vertex handheld + noise cancelling earphones.
