Thats the spirit. I like you already!

What's not to like?

Can't wait for this.

Is there any shelter on site, or are umbrellas going to be popular?

My best attempt at skids

We bring shelter, basically the officials on the course will all have shelter (so the event doesnt stop due to rain) and then the rest of it is put up for spectators so they can still watch whats going on. Usually takes a bit of setting up in the morning, you'll see us setting up in the morning. If it rains, drivers stay in their cars between runs and passengers just get a bit wet haha

Small note to anyone coming with a GTR;

If you want to launch, thats perfectly fine and it's encouraged because a)i think it looks cool and b)Texi's are off the streets so you can enjoy this kind of car legally. The courses are designed so you can launch if you want, if you dont want to launch, thats fine too - it isnt mandatory. The start gates for "launchable" (yes thats a word now) maps all have straights in front of them. Please dont launch with any steering angle applied (eg, only launch with the front wheels pointing straight), launching with steering angle applied is a big stress to the stock sump and they do get damaged. Launching is perfectly safe, in a straight line.

Also, It's a smart idea to overfill your sump by a litre or so of oil.

If you find yourself understeering big time (car not turning as far as the wheels are pointed and you're foot is on the accelerator), back off the throttle and this will help you get around the cone.

There will be help there on the day if anyone wants it for basic tips and tricks etc

Most important thing though? Have fun, thats what we're there for!

Thanks for the tips.

Really cant wait for this event.

TEXI in the rain was fun like the last time my car ran. Check the you tube vid from texi last year (the one with the shuffle song) abd watch my blue GTST

almost beat the 34 GTR :) wet weather a big equaliser ;) I got me a good wet weather jacket for marshal duties this time lol.

looks like you blew a turbo, he he he he he.but srsly, gtr=awesome skiddage, yep, skiddage is now a word.youre welcome.

HAHA nar just a 2wd/4wd switch, people who drive 2wd have skill :/

Why my damn youtube link not work.

P.S limiter bashing is good to lol

I have one that can multiply the standard signal sent to the attessa ecu.

Even on the street in the wet, you can feel the difference.

Turn it up, and its nearly like youre driving in the dry again.

Will obviously vary the feeling dependant on the power you are running.

If youre coming to texi, jump in with me, and have a feel.

Especially if its raining.

If the brakes are fixed mid week on my GTR it's a big possibility. Won't be entering but would appreciate co-pilot for a run or 2.

GTR's booked in on the Monday to get the suspension set-up properly.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
