Great news everyone. RENEW have just confirmed that we have 30 spots all up.

They will be running the day a bit different to previous days. It will be a bit more like supersprints. Apparently there is a back entry onto the track a little before the start of the straight. We will be going on there. Timing starts once we hit the start/finish line. We then race on for 3 hot laps after which we head around and off again.

I'm told that this is a much more efficient use of the track and that we will all get heaps of track time.

Those that have put your hand up for the reserve list put in your $100 now, anyone else that wants to be in don't think that we wont sell out despite doubling the spots. Get in quick.

Awesome... $100 going in next week!

And yeah, I have done a day that uses the layout you talk of Adam, for super sprints it is a much more efficient use of the track... the way I think is being proposed is enter not far before turn 10, gives you 10,11,12 to get on it, be careful through 1 on the first lap, then after your allotted laps, cool down through turn 1,2,3 exit at 4 and back to the pits... if everyone is not being dumb it works a treat, saves nearly 6 kms of warm up and warm down.

See you all on the track! (tomorrow)

Dan.

Adam I would be more than happy to be one of the flag marshalls on the day. Let me know!

:D

Yeah, that is the way it works.

A couple of us have been out to EC to observe and help some other clubs run their supersprints, and the process described above seems to work really well. It cuts down on heaps of time, compared to if entrants are doing both a full warm-up and cool down laps.

We're glad that we have been able to make a heap more spots available.

Abo & Renew,

It would still be good to do some free tracktime for some of the new people to get used to it before we send them out in super sprints. I personally would still like some open track time just to push some laps out.

Also how do you deal with fools like me with slicks that need 3 laps to get some heat into them.

Thanks

Oz you need to do the old fashioned tyre warming exercises like weaving on the warm up part it is still a fair bit of track if you take it slower and weave enough.

But I agree would be nice for first session or 2 to allow passengers from a learning point of view, then get into the timed laps mid morning....still leaves plenty of time for good laps :)

I have 3 people who would like to attend now there are additional spots.

Steve (White WRX)

Ralph (Silver Silvia now an R33)

Shane (the part owner of my R33 track bitch) are in.

Deposits will be done soon.

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
