Sau Nsw Oran Park South Track Driver Training Day


Recommended Posts

haha good stuff. you'll really notice the different running on semis too.

I think the biggest difference will be getting rid of that "knock knock knock" noise... ROFL

The fun starts tomorrow...

Rip old motor out and get the head setup off it...

Then I gotta wait till I can pick the block up mid week... Then put it back together...

Then see if it runs... Then rip a skid... See if it'll still run... Then see if it goes on the day of race day... ROFL

17 day dead line to replace a motor... And the only thing I've got at the moment is a dead motor... ROFL

Nope, you don't need to be a member of any club, but membership to SAU-NSW can bring you cheaper entry into future events we hold, if you're keen, so it is worth your while!

Just being a part of the club is worth while, not just for cheaper events.

Mind you, the cheapened Merch is also well worth it... :O

damn it....

Weekend before Bathurst so we don't know if Dave is working all weekend or not :)

Annnnnnnd I am about to put my car up for sale, so really shouldn't be taking it too the track .... should I ?

But all in for helping on the day guys :down:

^^ knowing my luck.. Dave and I will manage to break the unbreakable... lol

Il think about it though... Il more than likely cave and at least enter for one of us to drive it :)

Yes, yes you should be taking it to the track.

It's your car until money is exchanged and signatures put on rego transfer! Take it and have some fun... Rip an epic skid, and show Steve how much he can't drive your car... ROFL

no, the pic isn't old, but your epic fails are

I agree, so far I have driven home from all of my track days. My fails aren't epic enough :)

EDIT

and now that I have said that, my car is going to die at this track day :ninja:

Come on kiddies get in for an awesome day!

If all the moons and stars align in my favour i should be there in the Failvia running full slicks for a giggle.... BUT time will tell :D

As for all you others, DO IT!

ahahhahaha

I'd love to come to this, but I've got skirmish the day before and i'll probably be too buggered to drive all day... :P

Nah man, you'll be fine the next day.

Skirmish doesn't tire you (Well me anyway) as much as people say

    • 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.
