Hi,

For those of you who have been to a few track days, you'll know that it’s pretty much the best fun you can have in a car.

I enjoyed the Skyline days so much that I've signed up for a real racing series, the MoPro Cup.

Unfortunately, I'm not racing a Skyline. Instead the series is for identical Daewoo Lanos (or should that be Lanii?), and we've just finished the first round at Oran Park. As all the cars are identical, results come down to driver ability, and this creates incredibly close racing.

The reason I am posting this is that I'm looking for assistance in the form of sponsorship for the series.

The cost of this sponsorship is $200 per round, that's just $1000 for the rest of the series.

Your $1000 will get you:

* Coverage on my car for the next 5 rounds.

* My support of your product whenever possible (eg. after race speeches, distributing information at races, racing apparel and any other opportunities you can think of)

* Free entry to the remaining 5 rounds (the next round is Eastern Creek on 22-23 June)

* 100% tax deductibility for your company (claim it on your next BAS!)

* Hot laps at Sponsor drive days (the first is next Saturday, 25th May at Oran Park)

Of course, we are willing to discuss other packages, dependent on your business's budget.

Specific opportunities

* If you sell import cars, the crowds and competitors at these events are (not surprisingly) interested in performance cars. I saw 2x Skylines, 2x 180SXs, and a 22B WRX among the crowds (not to mention the Pulsar GTI-Rs, FTOs, Familias and WRXs racing in various groups.)

* If you have a performance or motoring related business, the spectators are obviously interested in performance parts or services.

* If you have a unique business product this is a unique way to market it at a reasonable price!

If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact me via [email protected].

As long as we have an agreement in place by Friday (24/5), you are welcome to attend the day at Oran Park next Saturday to see first hand how fast and close these cars really are. If not, there will be future hot lap opportunities, and of course the other coverage as described above.

I would also appreciate you passing this opportunity to any other potential business owners you know who love their cars and motor sport. Long term, I'd like to be racing a Nissan, and this is really a stepping stone towards that goal.

Thanks for your support,

Duncan Handley,

Future GTP Champion in a Nissan!

    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
    • Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.
    • Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
