We're holding another Social Event at Simworld in Carousel on Friday October 7th, starting at 7pm. Please make sure you arrive 15mins beforehand so we can kickoff on time. Everyone who attended the previous event all agreed it was awesome fun, even from the guy who ended up puking (from motion sickness, not the food ) The event will go for two hours, including food from Nandos

For those who don't know what SimWorld is check it out at http://www.simworld.com.au/ These are full simulators, where you get thrown about etc, nothing like anything you've done before. They've got new tracks, and event have a Flight Simulator (Battle of Britain style)

The general format of the event is:

Group 1 - 5min Practice - Course 1

Group 2 - 5min Practice - Course 1

Group 1 - 10min Race 1

Group 2 - 10min Race 1

Group 1 - 15min Race 2

Group 2 - 15min Race 2

Group 1 - 5min Practice - Course 2

Group 2 - 5min Practice - Course 2

Group 1 - 10min Race 3

Group 2 - 10min Race 3

Group 1 - 10min Race 4

Group 2 - 10min Race 4

Final - 10min Race (combined results from Race 1, 2, 3 & 4 will determine who is in the finals)

* Minimum race time is 55mins

** Comes with food supplied by Nando's, and we can have BYO drinks

*** Group size is 9, as there are 9 Simulators

Note:

The cost is $70.

These are full race simulators, not simple arcade games, so it will definitely be an experience.

Please register your interest ASAP, and then make payment so we can lock in your spot, it's first in bested dressed. Please invite family members (friends, wives, older kids etc), as all Simulators are equal, and doesn't require a drivers license :rofl2: We'd like to have this filled with SAUWA Members and there familys/friends, but will open it up to the rest of SAU if we don't fill the spots.

Cheers

Paul

    • 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. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
