I think my coilovers would suit that course well. There fairly soft even on there hardest setting which is what i have them on all the time and that leaves me with 5 adjustments on my shocks to go softer. I'll def go up there one day and give it a go.

Would be there with bells on if only family wasn't over from Interstate. :thumbsup:

Can't wait for next year's come and try. The teins I run are setup fairly soft but not sure how it would handle some of those dips. :S

Out of the 49 cars today, 5 broke into the 30's which were 3x WRXs, #26 (listed as Nissan Skyline owned by a Luke) and myself in my 32 GTR.

I've got the sheets here for all 6 runs by everyone if anyone wants their times (even section times).

Awesome day. I posted a 46.48 on my first run, 43.88 on second, 43.45 on third, 42.97 on 4th run, 46.04 on 5th run (it was raining hard, track was a river and a awd launch that wouldn't stop spinning the wheels all the way to the 1st timing line) and finished with a 39.85 with some advice from Evil34 about launches

2 WRX's actually, that red monster had two drivers :bunny: The other WRX that did the 39.7 was my stock turbo'd bugeye.

Was a great day, kinda wish I still had my GTR though :)

39.7 is amazing for a first run, whats up with the 79.23 time though, sight seeing or go off the track and miss the final timing strip?

I *may* have broken into a bit of an impromptu ballet demonstration for the crowd on the hill... Just came in way too hot into "The Wall" and the rear decided it wanted to lead the show so managed to brake hard on a greasy patch and around she went!

Would have loved the chance for a dry run but with two 40's in the pissing rain I'm happy enough to wait for the June event :(

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
