im not quite sure where exactly i remember seeing this but i do remember.

its about 4 dyno's along side each other with big projector screens infront

and you race.its a mix between the multilink daytona's and that golf game

that used to be at intensity in parramatta westfields.

i doubt it catered for wheel spin so wouldnt be 100% accurate

but still abit of fun when the weathers like it is.

it also has tracks you can race around(on screen)

anyone???

Sounds :weird: ... It'd be very noisy if indoors..

Imagine the car not strapped properly and BAM uh oh! :thumbsup:

a little slow...i thought it would be much faster then normal...less resistance....

That's what I thought... :thumbsup:

Maybe it's the acceraton and wheelspining/jumping causing less grip? I mean the wheels are on the rollers, and arent they like metal or steel?

Links, I didn't drive my car to Melbourne to race at Drag Tag ;) I used one of their 32 GTST's and the PWR blown 6L Crewman. The times are very accurate to real life with that 10.1 second blown Chev running within hundredths of his usual quarter mile ET. It's an awesome concept and well worth checking out. If you want to go for a look and get behind the scenes, email me at adrian@extrememagazine.com.au and I'll arrange it.

Yeah but your opinion doesnt count:

1 - 'cause you're gay!

2 - 'cause you have a vested interest in promoting it!

;)

1/ Ummm.....granted. Damnit!

2/ What the? Absolutely no vested interest in it at all. I'm simply speaking from the perspective of someone that has done it numerous times and has more of an insight into the idea than someone guessing or theorising about what it's probably like.

but for a GTR say, can you dial up 7000rpm and step off the clutch? what happens?

Same thing that normally happens to GTR's. BANG!!! You can do it though, BB and it will get you off the line much harder than driving off the line. Just like reallife.

So how does the whole wheelspin thing work? Dont higher powered cars wheelspin heaps more? Do the brackets pull the car down onto the rollers?

Brackets are fitted to your car and operator guided hooks grab these brackets and pull your car down onto the dyno with 8bar of pneumatic pressure. Bear in mind that it is a simulator and not a replacement for the real thing. It was created primarily as a driver training resource but the racing side of it has taken off as well. The computing power and super-nurdz behind it boggle the mind with their talents.

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
