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.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
