just wondering, if we are taking tools/wheels etc. with us, can we drop it at out garage before Scruitineering or do we just go through with all our stuff in the back and explain it wont be in the vechicle whilst driving around the track ?

Just a thought.. But should it be going..

5 - 4 - 2 - 1 - 3

OR

4 - 5 - 2 - 1 - 3

Only reasoning is that the n00b groups might get a better chance to watch the faster group? That way, not only can they get a more experenced driver in with them, but they can also watch the racing lines..?

Just a thought? Might be a crap one.. but it is a driver trainer day right..?

Im not sure about others, but I think the best way is to get to the track early, setup your shed and car, THEN go to scrutineering.

Thats what ill be doing.. Setting up the garage, getting the car off the trailer, then taking it over to scrutineering..

You must unload every single loose item and have the car track ready when you present at scruit. That includes if you want to run semi slicks or slicks, they should be bolted on.

As to the person asking about turning upto scruit at 7:30. Feel free to start the line. The Scruitineers will be there at 8am.

I advise being prepared for scruitineering at 8am. Ie don't arrive at the track at 8am, arrive at scruit at 8am once you've unpacked...

+1

and getting there early means you get dibs on a garage =P

Hello,

Finally registered my own account (was previously using my friends account, akajonz).

I'm really looking forward to this! and have been edging to go for weeks now.

I'll be driving a honda, so please be gentle on the straights. 120kw ftl :)

play around with turismo on the track, you should be similar if not his a little faster on the straights

I've only got 100fwkw, so we should have some fun in group 1 :whistling: DC5 should be faster than me on the straights, so you wont be the only "slow" car in the top group

Dah, I wanted to go head to head with Reece. If my times come down I'll see if I can move to group 1 on the day.

Will see what we can do, but I won't be in the 32 so you will have triple my power

this one time, at band camp, he beat us all with a starlet.

If you don't have me in grumble bee, I will be very dissapointed in you :whistling:

Dude i'm happy to swap with you if you've got a bit of a rivalry going?

Nothing real :-) but if I get to the point that I'm lapping everyone I'd love a go in the faster group. We will see on the day and as the organisors say they will move people if they see a need to redo the groups.

I'll be instructing anyway for the first couple sessions.

Now thats just getting too logical Alex :D I think that would just lead to confusion champ, the simpler things are, the easier it is for all parties, the smoother it will run.

Thanks for helping out with instructing!

I may have missed something, but you're in group 2, and in accordance with your time so not sure why you feel 'out of place'. I can certainly review on the day if you truley are 'lapping' the rest of your group.

Cheers!

wow all this talk of being fast etcand having no power and heaps of power! ARGH!

who cares!!! just get out there and have fun!!

if you want to compare your lap times do a supersprint and see how you go

this is a fun day :D

Hey,

Just wondering if spectators were welcome and if so is there an entry fee?

i have a few friends that are wanting to come along and have a look but thought i should ask before we made the trip.

Thanks Blake

    • How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
    • So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)
    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
