I was all set to enter Bathurst but NSW State Supersprints start on the 17th January at Oran Park G/P so I'll be flat out getting all the changes done that I need to do.

What you guys really need to do is register for the NSW hillclimbs and do Bathursts 2 day state champs. Sundays mountain straight climb is without a doubt the best and fastest climb ever.

Neil.

can we get some dates for some of these upcoming events.....Bathurst hillclimb would be brilliant.

have to get this cams 2s liscence sorted....

The License is easy,,,just go to the cams site and upload it,,,you are already a member of our club,,,so half the work is done.

Log booking your car would be a great idea as well.

Farking insane is all I can say, so so so good, really drives like a big horsepower kart, so easy to drive.

Second that!

Mick, have you finished the rebuild yet?

I met you back in 08 @QR in my 34 gtr.

think you will back for Nov 24th?

I have been enjoying a r32 Gtr and Evo of late.

Hopefully we can have a run together soon.

Cheers

and where is willo? Kept thinking you guys would be up there..

Hey mate,

Yeah i've been looking at the pics and results from the days. missing it. Look like your going awesome in the evo!

i'm getting married 14th nov and car is getting closer to ready. I doubt I will make it in time to be honest. If I can, I will be there will bells on though.

I think Willo is a bigger chance of getting back for that day???

+10 bonus points for marlin getting a drive of the machine!!!!

Hope the wedding goes well mate.

The Evo is a brilliant car, very std at the moment. But none the less very capable.

The GTR is a handful, but brilliantly fun. We ran low boost and even lower boost due to

a small crack in an intercooler pipe and still did a 58.2 on sprint first time out in it.

We will be running high boost on the 24th so hope for some significantly better times again.

Hope to see you up there soon mate.

Im happy to give you guys some of the Vic events, but we are in the same boat as QLD.

Our motorsport doesnt really start up again until the start of Feb, and we dont tend to get any dates till mid December.

A word of warning.... if you come to Vic in Feb - chances are its going to be very hot. Might be better to make it slightly later (ie March/April) and hope for some cooler weather. The SAU drivers usually attend the PI track day run by the WRX Club (usually March) as its part of our motorsport championship.

If you want help with Vic events, just keep reminding me as it nears the end of the year :banana:

in the process of logbooking car as we speak, having it inspected on saturday.

im not fussy on where we go as long as everyone is happy. would love to do bathurst feb/march.

Stumbled across Skyline Nationals 2010 Thread, Shown shine, cruise and track day at Mallala Adelaid. This could be cool, its later in the year though, Sep 10. Posted in National Events Section.......any thoughts.

    • Ok cool, because I do have some OEM BMW options for light(er) wheels. 17x8.5 M Sport wheels are 11kg and I could put 255's on them. Maybe that's an initial test.
    • So, in the effort of pulling apart airboxes and testing enclosures to see if this aids in MAP loss at WOT I noticed: 1) The ducts up the OEM intercooler holes from the front bar help IAT drastically, whether the pod is shielded from the engine bay by an airbox missing a lid, or an airbox WITH a lid. Plus you get more induction sound without the lid. Having half the airbox (with no lid) acting as a barrier to the headers seems to help. 2) For shits and giggles I checked the TB. This was full pedal travel. This is actually full travel of the TB. Photos aren't perfect, but there was definitely an amount of play in it and it wasn't against the stop. After much swearing and adjusting the pedal, I realised that the cable is actually too long for the skyline pedal travel to fully articulate it. Having the pedal adjusted so WOT was actually hard open on WOT resulted in an idle of 3500rpm. As an aside, this was also the TPS registering at 3.1%. I removed the above to give the pedal enough travel to actually fully open the TB. I now get a satisfying 'thonk' on full open and full closed which you can hear pumping the pedal as it hits the TB stops (with the bonnet open and intake back on). Luckily for me, the screw screws into a raised metal boss under this plastic piece that is now acting as the new throttle stop. I've gained about 20mm (ish) of pedal travel and I can move it maybe a mm or two post open-thonk before it's hard against the stop. After all of this I did a bit of road tuning because a 102MM throttle is sensitive. The difference between holding an 950rpm idle and instantly stalling is about 0.4% of TPS movement. Will that help? I suppose it can't hurt. I set 'closed' point back to where it was, I can definitely feel the extra pedal travel that is needed to actually open the TB fully. But this morning I dropped the car off at Paint Jail again, so who knows when this will re-eventuate out to see if it helps with the top of the dyno hitting a ceiling.
    • Take heart that everyone else seems to have found a way. The OEM S1 indicators do slot in pretty firmly. It may simply be a case of having them sit slightly looser and nobody actually ever noticed this when attempting to remove a indicator from a JSAI bar :p
    • If the original NA ECU has a separate TCU then you are going to need to reroute wires that used to run between the trans and the TCU to the appropriate (1 to 1 equivalent) pins on the ECU. Other than that, it should work. Look up posts by @Kinkstaah on the subject.
