The greater Sydney area really needs a racetrack with a few loooong straights and big, open, sweeping corners so the mega HP cars can really stick it to the 'light atmo car' boys....Fatz :pwned::(

:D

Get cracking on it then :)

Yogi,

Im not sure, he id run one about 3 months ago, but he lost $5-8K so I dont know how many more he will be running. I dont think he has booked any more days at this stage. I guess if he does not get enough support for these events moving forward he will have to stop running them AKA Moto concepts.

Just wondering guys, down the back straight will I be hitting 180+?

I've got my speed limiter still on but I don't want it affecting my times.

My car is a 190rwkw gtst. :mrt:

definately not! there is no back straight at OP. well there is a short one between turns 3 and 4 but you will be lucky to hit 120 there.

depends how good your entry is onto the pit straight as to whether or not you hit 180. plus in my experience mostly the limiters wont cut in until an indicated 190-195. i wouldnt worry about it mate. it should be the least concern if this is your first track day.

i wouldnt worry about it mate. it should be the least concern if this is your first track day.

He will worry about if its his first track day... You will be hitting about 180 right when you need to hit the first kink/turn and if your not expecting to hit the rev limiter you can shit your pants and at that speed you want to aleast be aware of it.

When your times look shit, its also an excellent excuse as to why you times are poor... Just go with the story that you hit the speed limiter half way down the straight and that you should be 3-4 seconds quicker :P

yeah true, but i dont know that an auto 33 will even hit 180, and being first time out he will be hard on the brakes bro! on the brakes! at the kink :P

good point though, just be aware of it wink, but dont let it stop you.

    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
    • Can we unpin a bunch of dead / irrelevant threads from: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/8-engines-forced-induction/ New players at home will scroll and think this forum is dead.
    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
