Sau Vic 2012 Motorsport Championship Round 5 - Sandown 11Th August


Recommended Posts

yeh the 14 PS lines take a different route so they are fairly easy on it.

yeh the cambers alright, I managed to pull AT LEAST 35mm on the guard from standard if not more on the weekend. so theres heaps more to straighten, if need be but ill leave that up to traction tyres later on. not fussed about times, just curious to punch it around on the straights and be able to properly use the power.

GTTR34, how much did your alignment cost if you dont mind me asking? seems we may have a similar setup from your post in the vic section with the exception of different coilovers.

Just picked up my new AO48's, they are worth 50kw at idle. :)

Might need a guard roll myself...

How ironic given yesterday's events.. If you had those tyres on we might have made it through the intersection!

Hey mate were did you get this from? Ive looked everywhere for one

ebay was the cheapest I could find @ $79 with free postage.

They sell in on their website but it costs $78 + $10 postage if I remember correctly

If you are going to Sandown with a loud exhaust don't expect to do many laps.

Where is the mike?

No issues here, my screamer is plumbed back. :P

Tony, what software would you use for Iphone4? And what mount is solid enough for track work? I might get in on this too. :)

I'm just copying Richo here :P

So Phone + racechrono then racechrono2avi. Then in conjuction with the GoPro hero 2 overlay the videos.

As for mounting i havent though about that. Are you allowed to have loose items in the glove box and in the compartment between the seats (the one with the lid so it won't be open)?

Was just thinking of chucking the phone and GPS in there :ph34r:

damn, since when are they cracking down so hard on this? I've been to sandown with full screamer in the s15 and not had an issue.... maybe i was just lucky on the day

I was hoping to make a solid windscreen mount for the iphone and use the onboard video, to save me buying the gopro straight away. Hopefully if the mount is good enough it shouldn't bounce around too much.

i dont think they are fussed with glove box, mine was full last time I went lol.

i'de prefer using the phone than the GoPro if you can solid mount it to the windshield somewhere as scott said.. its not like you need 1080p and for it to be water proof when realistically you are going to probably watch it on youtube at 680p lol

that said, im usually persuaded by wank factor and the fact that it can be mounted externally from the car - which would be my reason for using the gopro.

Cool cool

Wasn't sure to clean out my glove box or not.

Hrmm might test out the video recording capabilities on my Galaxy 3 and see if thats ok.

GoPro i just borrowed from Simon for the day to see how it is

you are meant to have nothing loose in GB or anywhere in cabin.

I have had it checked from time to time, not very often however.

I have my gps receiver race taped down so it down ot move, then h\phone in pocket so it not move around.

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
