Late as usual...

What are my chances of getting in Ryan/Bec?

Is the list very up to date? Any people pulling out just yet?

Don't be soft and just enter Dan :) , all 5 reserves + others made it in last DECA

Also just like to add Campbell's car is rubbish and will once again not be making DECA, (sorry Leon :D ) head gasket had had enough :D

He will be entering in my 180

Nah haven't forgotten, just been a bit snowed under with the house, unexpected redundancy, now working in Melbourne temporarily, etc. Haven't had time to work on or drive the car, DECA could be a good chance to blow out some cobwebs and see what breaks :)

I'll forward through a form today Ryan.

EDIT: In filling out the form I just noticed my licenses are expired, I'll have to sort that first - Joy :banana:

Still send the form in and advise Bec/Ryan of your licence details when it is renewed.

Awwww shit, I'm on the list.

I even lashed out and ordered a mega cheap set ($52 for the lot) of normal brake pads so I can actually stop at this DECA as the I couldn't get any heat into the pads last time.

Rear spoiler is already removed and the street tyres are already on, I'm starting to get a bit excited...

We'll just have to see if the turbo holds on :D

The clamps were fine, it was the silicon joiner that let go. Looks like it'd been rubbed, I've moved things accordingly.

If you were at that DECA why didn't you come and say hello, or did you and I've forgotten...

Another upgrade from that DECA is that I replaced the drivers seat that I snapped in half that day, Should be easier to drive now that I dont have to hang off the wheel :huh:

Okie dokie, here is the Event Sched. the map 'mega slide' should be a bit of a RWD pleaser as its the biggest slide we have had... if you drive a FWD it will probably be the biggest lot of understeer you have ever had :huh:

 

READ THE THING (and not when you are 2 cars from the start line!)

 

EVENT SCHEDULE

 

Also, here is the Championship Standings as of Round 2.

 

CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS

 

We will work on updating the Round Results and also Champ Results on the SAUVic website after this round.

Nice layout to break in the new LSD. I predict much spinning out on my part.

My supra needs a new LSD aswel :huh:

Where did you get yours from if you don't mind me asking?

What brand is it?

1.5 way? 2 way?

Cheers :D

2-way TRD LSD.

Got it from MVP motorsports in the US. Was $1,100 (USD), plus I had to get a $200 conversion kit to make it fit the NA diff housing.

Edit: Sorry, it's less than $1000 USD, but $1,100 AUD.

Yeah well I bought this car so I could learn how to drive it, so that once I'm off my P's I can step into a more powerful car and not kill myself/make better use of its power. I couldn't really learn much about car control or behavior with an open diff. Just need to get some better brake pads and she should be circuit ready too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
