While you'll never get another chance to come to the debut meeting (:D ) the next one is at EC on 1-2 May, same date as the AGM, maybe everyone should drop by afterwards :)

Anyone else coming along?

Sadly no coverage of the state champs on TV, although there will be a special section in Motorsport news after each round.

The team's also entering Targa Tas (1 car) and NSW Dutton (2 cars) this year, there will be coverage of both, we'll keep you all posted :D

well, the weekend......finished better than it started.

A little impatience at the start meant that Mark had a drive throught penalty on the first lap (ahh, so you have to wait until the light goes out!), and of course when doing the drive through he sped....meaning he copped a second drive through. Despite the fact teh GTR can nevah be beaten he came in last :)

Second race, started from 17th made a good start and was running 10th when they came to turn 8. A slightly overambitious move from a bommodore saw mark smacked off the track on a small cross country excursion! He recovered, rejoined and worked his way beack to 10th when an intercooler hose blew off...leading to retirement from the race. DNF

Third race, started from 17th (again), and proceeded to zoom through the field eventually running 4th on the 7th lap when the race was red flagged.

And, I can't wait to get my car out there :)

hi Duncan,

Good stuff with getting the GTR trackside. Just one thing, are you aware there is already a "team raceworx"? Simon Evans races for them (rally team). I was just looking for some info on your cars and typed "raceworx" into the search engine and got heaps of their stuff.

Hope it's not a problem mate.

Just thought I should let you know...

lol, you've got the crazy bit right.

Thanks for mentioning the rally team Richard, but they forgot one small issue, registering the name :( We own it but have decided not to sue at this stage

our website is at www.teamraceworx.com, but its still an early draft

Also forgot to mention, keeping things rolling, Raceworx next meet is the HPI Drift Nationals at Calder Park next weekend.

A certain lunatic in a slivia is going down to show them how to do it :D

Next round at EC 1-2 May? Doesn't that clash with Fatz's Drift Day?

Do you guys have a timetable of events on both days? Just wondering which would be more interesting to goto...

Actually, Raceworx is going to be *very* spread out that weekend, coz our third car will be down competing at Targa Tas :D

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
