Wow, well an update;

That debriefing session was massive (4 hours)...

I thought I went alright based on how many cars I over took, however my time needs much improvement to get anywhere near the front...

I set the forth fastest lap of the day, but only did it once... I need to be more consistent to get up near the front...

Most of my laps were 3 or more seconds off the front runners, only pulled 2 laps close to the front runners consistent times...

I also torched the car pretty bad apparently, tires wreaked, steering arm bent, rev'ed the engine way too hard and was un-kind on the brakes...

Today shows me that racing is not all about smashing every bit of HP out but more about technique and driving lines...

As I said I have much to learn... Driving into those blind corners is scary, very scary actually...

All you see is a concrete wall and you know what the corn looks like on the other side but then there is 6 or 7 other cars around you...

Popping exhausts & skidding the wheels under brakes across the shiny surface...

Its hard work too, my arms, hips & neck are so sore... The experience is priceless and im loving it but its taken more than I expected...

Aussie race cars were described to me as a fast go-kart, im yet to put words together that describes it accurately...

PS> Having a ball tho :wub:

So how does a general smo ( i.e me ) get to have a crack at what your doing ?

With about 70k for a season...

Or get sponsorship and make someone else pay the 70k per season...

I got a ride at QR through a mate, they liked my lap times and were desperate for a driver for two rounds this season... My story i a bit different...

I will most likely never drive again after this weekend, it was more about right place right time for me...

The regular driver will be back next round to take his spot back... :wub:

That sounds so awesome. Any video footage? So this is proper door to door stuff right? Are the cars a step below V8 supercars or same regs n specs?

Scarnon mangs?

Windscreen chips getting fixed today. Indicator canceller is fixed and the rest of the S13 stuff might be in by this arvo :laugh:

They are a half scale car powered by a motorcycle engine and transmission (geared to the changes)...

Yes its door to door racing, more touch's than the utes most sessions...

Its tight and particularly scary in a concrete jungle...

It has become very popular with up to 40 cars on track at once, it costs a 1/10 what a supercar costs to own and run...

Here is video from clipsal 500 eariler in the year...

      R32 GTR Park lights issue

      By Djdannyr32 · Posted

      Being this happened about 4 years ago, i honestly forget exactly what is was, but I wound bringing to Simon at SR Werks when he was here in NY. He was able to properly diagnose and repair. I believe it had to do with the harness behind my dash.

      It's because the air comes in over #3 & #4. The two "dead" ends of the plenum are at #6 & #1, with #6 being a little more "compromised" (Sorry about all the quote marks) than #1, due to the shape. So you get the dead end effect at #6 & #1 where dynamic pressure converts to static pressure, likely causing the air flow to be highest for these. The others are then just working in from the ends to the centre. 6 -> 1 is only valid for FFPs.

      2004 Subaru Forester X Under Cover craziness!

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      Cut back on the attitude champ, no one is obligated to help you. The chances of Forester owners on here are quite low, considering this forum is called Skylines Australia. https://www.subarupartsdeal.com/parts/subaru-under-cover-front~56410sa000.html ^ that picture looks wrong, because if you see the diagram, 56410SA070 looks correct. You can always check where the mounting holes are on your car, and compare them to the pictures.

      Hey Duncan, I've always set them up from 6 -> 1. Due to slightly higher EGT's, I also add a small amount of fuel to cylinder 6 & 5. I understand why you start at 6 but curious as to why you then continue somewhat based on firing order? Thanks
