Hey Jack - you wouldn't happen to have any old GT-R fitment 18 x 10.5's laying around unused I could borrow for a day?

You can borrow your old 10.5's if you want Snowy. I need to do a bit of a shuffle first and get a fresh set of tyres on the 9.5's - should have it done tomorrow.

Russ - there's always PIARC in Oct and Nov for you to run a time there.

I've been inspired by the whole WTAC thing and reckon I'm having a crack at Clubman next year in the new toy (because basically Clubman is Targa spec so it fits with the cars development). But what that means is you're going to be my bench mark - only I have to try and do it on street rubber!(Given you were 0.5s ahead of the winning Clubman time this year)

So - 1.43's on the OEM street rubber is the eventual goal. It's going to be fun!!! (And scary!! LOL)

Do like very much :) You've chosen the right car to do it in too!

The bench mark will be moving again next year... I'm aiming for a 39 :) Not quite sure how I'll do it yet haha.

Bunnings trip to pickup some aluminium sheeting. Wicked front splitting and flat under tray.

Also to the more experienced drivers. There are going to be a few new guys at this event in DT or other classes. It would like nice if you could give up 10 mins of your time to go out with these drivers in the first reccy session.

I'll take the lightest person - cheers ;)

OK after talking to the WRX guys seems we have 24 entries with SAU listed as the nominated club....wow. Motorsport is fashionable again!

However we Have 4 DT guys that we really need to step up and help out with.

So guys I'm kinda looking in the corner with:

John

Ant

Andrew

Chris

Jack

and yes Matt if you feel comfortable.

You all have the most track experience here and remember it is usually only one session in the morning where you are in the car, and we are getting DT separated from groups 1&2 to give you time to get ready to go out yourself.

having never done PI in anger myself I'm not qualified for it unfortunately.

So...who up for it?

Martin

Does anybody know what time scrutineering starts?

What about the driver briefing - what time is that suppose to be?

How about the first session, sighting laps. I presume that would start 9am but I'm not really sure.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
