Location is not too far away, within 15-20 mins drive from Melbourne CBD, as we will normally do this on Saturday or Sunday.

For public liability insurance purpose, exact location will only be disclosed to paying members as no spectators are allowed. If a bunch of ppl hanging around the place to try to see what's happening, soon or later we will be denied usage to the facility. So this is for everyone's sake.

Thank you.

inark,

the instructor will sit with you in the car, if you listen to what he said you'll be fine....

the only thing that can go wrong is people try to be hero when they start to get into trouble e.g. spinning out, instead of hitting the brakes they try to save the day by trying too hard.. ending up understeering all the way to the bank

I know inark... I can understand how you feel.

I've got a type-m frontbar & sideskirts that I wanna put on my car too, as currently my car has no optional bodykit at all. Dunno if I got the chance to put it on b4 the 15th Nov, as currently my car is being looked at for a weird misfiring problem (doesn't even reach 140rwkw now :() but the engine should b ready by Nov.

Good thing is the factory bar is not that low. Depending what bar you have, you DO wanna stay away from getting too close to the edge. But don't worry, the instructor will take care of you. You won't be going too fast as well, maybe 30-40km/h in 2nd gear...

Anthony, I've replied your pm....

Ni, is your bar lower than Gordo's? As he only clipped the edge. Gordo was the only person to come close/hit the edge, during the whole day. Really there is alot off room, but i can not see why Kev would object to you taking off your bar. He may just ask you to put the intrusion bar back on (just unclips off the plastic bar, with the 33's).

Scott (Cam's Friend) has been added to the list.

Anthony, I've put you in as well...

We now have 12 people (2 groups).. keep watching this space as I will update with further info...

Ni, I'll post these details to everyone listed here asap :-)

Cam, if you read this, I'd suppose you and your three friends wanna stay together - in Sunday group?

If that's ok let me know....

I can squeeze 7 people max in a group, but we all have to start 1 hour earlier, like 12pm to 5pm instead of 1pm to 5pm.

If that is ok for everyone.... so a maximum of 2 more places available for these two groups...

Otherwise, since ApacheX and skylyn (2) are interested,

if you guys found another 3 people, how about make it the next weekend, or any day if you guys can get off work or holiday from uni?

Or maybe even the saturday morning or sunday morning...

so one of the day will be running two sessions... Can't promise you anything yet now but will try to organise so everyone is a winner...

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
