Yeah you dont need to practice for the events, we are not racing for sheep-stations, 99% of the guys are just out there for the fun of it... in reality the whole series is just a heap of practice days leading up to the state and national champs each year, thats about the only time we get really serious - and even then your only racing for a $10 trophy.

We regularly get people out there that have never driven a car before, no one is going to make you feel un-welcome if you don't do complete a perfect handbrake turn every time (or even one in the whole day), we also don't care if you stuff up the course - you just have to be seen to be trying to complete it to the best of your ability. If you get lost half way round just head for the finish gate - as long as you dont do a series of donuts on the spot between when you get lost and when you get to the finish gate you wont be spoken to by the officials.

Your better off doing your learning at an event, guys will be there to help you out if your having trouble with your technique (or car set up, simple things like tyre pressure make a big difference), and at most events you can ride shotgun with one of the regulars, or ask one of them to jump in with you for some pointers.

wooot!!

been discussing with the missus bout the possibility of me building a track car for motorkahnas and drift pracs

to my amazement she is pretty supportive!

so, my hunt begins for a manual 31

my mate rocco, the owner of skyline city imports also offered to help me in the build in return for some

panel spaces..

just gotta watch my budget

I must say Chad man you got some skill. Good work.

What gear where you using? 1st or 2nd?

Cheers mate :blink: I think we both did pretty well for our first time out. Cant wait to get out there again :P

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
