I'm thinking of going to PI for the PIARC track day on the Sunday does that count?

ha, I push my luck to enter two events a month, let alone a weekend. If only it was my birthday, though I've already had too many of those for my liking!

I'm thinking of going to PI for the PIARC track day on the Sunday does that count?

Have a few mates going to PI for the PIARC day.. I just figured that Winton is closer.

Also going to winton this weekend as well, so hopefully my car doesn't break :P

i would but i dont really feel like replacing a bunch of parts when i get home as my car is stock as a rock

a stock car is more reliable than a modified one, also if your coming to spectate may as well volunteer to help us out ;)

yeah but these parts are all stock and alot of them original if i go around reving the S#%T out of it ill blow or butcher some old part or something like that, well that what ive been told by a relative who is a genius mechanic he said if i want to track it i should intall heavy duty parts that are designed to be givin a hammering + someone might crash into my car :P i just like to watch and enjoy :)

hmmm well stock parts are ment to handle what the car can do in stock form, but yeah thats my 2 cents (also im a mechanic)

anyways come along and have some fun. Bring a helmat, long sleeve shirt/jumper, long pants and you can also ride along with people ;)

as parts get older, wear out / deteriorate they may fail under heavy loads. well thats what ive been taught by someone i trust. full respect to your opinion i do keep an open mind with cars cause there are so many opinions!

ill definitly come along though thank you! would be cool to get a ride too see how my luck goes :3some:

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
