Quite a well organised event and had a heap of fun. Even with the early morning rain and late afternoon wind it didnt seem to effect the fun. Knew my little car wouldn't be suited to this type of event but just wanted to see how it would react and the result was predictable.

Lots of other cars were great fun to watch, some people were big on handbraking every single cone, others liked to throw the back end around and some just drove it as quickly as they could.

If anything I think the only downside of the day was not enough time to actually watch other people compete. Maybe next time instead of having 2 groups on 2 different courses have 1 group at a time and get a set amount of laps then swap to the other group or something I dunno.

If anyone has pics of the little blue car as seen in my avatar please post them up or pm me for my email address.

Good job guys see you at the next event.

OK, thanks to EVERYONE for coming to this event either to participate, volunteer or even just spectate!

To the participants, I'm glad everyone had a good time, and as far as I saw, there were minimum casualties as far as dead or dying cars go. Luckily for everyone who was out there, tyres were the only things to suffer in a major way! This is PROOF that these kinds of days are reasonably easy on your cars.

To the volunteers - "Xmetal" Ian for photos and cone picker-uppering, "~Jay~" Jason, "Oz GTR32V" Paul (and his wife) for help with the BBQ and entertaining us in the Ford "Terrible-tory", Doof's girfriend Anna (and Tegan) for helping with timing, Charles and Clinton, and anyone else who I may have missed - our many thanks for helping out with the running of this event.

To the SAU-NSW Executive crew and support team - Neil, "Abo BOb" Adam, "Sl!m" Sam, "N1GTR" Steve-O, "DRD-00F" Steven, "Ando," Duncan and Kel, and "FloydWestwood" Dave, you all did amazing work to run this day!

Oh, and thanks also to Duncan for taking me out for a run in the Zed in the morning on Course 1 and the Go-to-Woah, and Zane for an afternoon run through the slaloms!

A big big thankyou to all the organisers and everyone who helped out on the day. It was soooo much fun and I can't wait to do it again. Only thing that broke on my car were two brake light globes which is pretty good (Thanks to everyone that let me know) Can't wait for the next one :) I'll try and get some pics up as soon as I can.

Looked like a great day! I was very disappointed when I couldn't get my car back together in time. I had two sets of tyres ready and a keen interest to destroy them.

Glad to see someone picked up my entry on the day, #34. Whoever it was, drop me a pm so we can chat.

    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.   
    • Here's the torque curves from the car I ramped boost up later in the rpm to allow a slightly wider useful power curve - the power curve is a bit weird shaped also thanks to the TVIS (or whatever they call it with the 4EFTE in this Starlet) which changes the volume of the intake manifold throughout the rpm range, but you can see that the green power curve actually holds later on with the extra boost... but looks almost more like the kind of thing you'd expect from a cam or exhaust change
