Round 1 of the NSW State Champs are on this weekend at Eastern Creek.

Categories include Sports Sedans, Improved Production, HQs, Production sports, and of course the mighty production touring category....and for the first time in about 5 years there are 2 GTRs on the grid.

Each category has qualifying and 1 race on sat, and 2 races on sunday

If you do make it drop by, I will be set up on the skidpan somewhere wishing I could afford a garage ;)

The good news is, ARDC have finally worked out it is more expensive to pay for a gatekeeper than to just throw the gates open.....so entry is free both days.

Good luck uncle Druncan!

I'll be living it up in thailand with the ladyboys...wait,wut?

give those V8's hell and I expect a podium finish.

p.s. you must enter MRA too...cause u can!

I'll probably come out on Sunday to take a few photos.

Got a website link to this event?

sort of...but it is rubbish! http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.com/events.htm

And Chris, Podium isn't enough... He needs to come first! :P

jeeus, no pressure there! the field is going to be damn competitive including those pesky emo Xs. Luckily they are down to 1.2bar this year instead of 1.6+

well it rained for the race and qualifying yesterday, and the forecast for today is:

Metropolitan area

Cloudy. Heavy showers, easing to scattered showers later in the evening.

The main issue with that is.....my car is rubbish in the wet!

How do they police that Dunc ?

I've seen one of your wet weather power launches, smoke em !

How do they police that Dunc ?

all turbo cars run a valve in the BOV pressure side. If manifold pressure exceeds the allowed pressure the valve closes, causes the BOVs to blow open and drop all boost. Painfully effective. In fact it really doesn't work well with the stock system because it spikes and then returns, I had to add a boost controller to keep the spikes under control. max boost I saw today was 11.3 psi dammit.

You did well today Duncan. Pity the Evo's were out in force :P

What happened in the last race, is everything alright with the car?

Will post photos soon.

mate the car was a shitbox in the wet (don't believe what you read on the internet abotu 4wd in the wet....it does SFA for mid corner speed). But in the dry it went f**king great, I was holding down 4th place with an emo X, emo 9 and sti only in front of me. pretty good for a 20yo car with a hack driver. And I had the wrong damn tyres on again. bring on wakie!

What went wrong was....the fuel sender was borken, we chucked in all the fuel we had in jerries to be safe. 25min race, 3 warm up laps after the trouble on the grid....I just ran out of fuel on the second last lap. I could hold say 2000rpm without running out of fuel but anything above that it broke down :( Won't happen again.

That Evo X driven by glenny/pearson was fcuking quick off the grid and around EC! I lol'd so hard when it was the 2nd warm up lap and you took off from the grid at full pace hahahahaha damn that was funny! I hope you didn't get any time penalties from that!

Running 11.3psi of boost would suck!!!! Why do they restrict the boost and not restrict the power instead?

Are there any restrictions on the class that had the porsches and lotus's?

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
