You AWD folks scaring me! Might take out my front shaft. :sweat:

That'll happen in one of the cabins full of boys, late on Saturday night I'd imagine...

errrrr what?! :3some:

hey, im keen to give this a go, will be my first event as a club member, iv had a read over the entry form, looks straight forward,

Only things im curious about, where has everyone else mounted there fire extinguishers? centre console lid? ......

And this AASA licence, i dont have one, whats involved on the day to get it? apart from the $50 dollar charge?

Looking forward to this!

Rob.

Hi Rob,

Print out page 2 of this form and bring it along with $50 on the day, They'll submit the form and payment for you. I'd say to apply directly to AASA, there's still time to do it before the event and recieve your membership card in time, but its better safe than sorry in case AASA processing is delayed for any reason.

As for the fire extinguisher, it needs to be securely mounted within the car within reach of the driver.

It's been discussed many times before, but to summarise...

Get a 900gram+ Fire Extinguisher from Autobarn which has a metal for mounting. (~$40)

Go to bunnings/your shed and get some aluminium strap (1mm thick x 30mm wide x 50cm long) and.make a car bracket which runs between the passenger seat front bolts. Bolt (with decently strong bolts / washers) the extinguisher bracket to the car bracket.

If you position it right, it won't interfere with the seat movement along the rails, and it'll be easily accessible if needed.

Whenever anyone gets in your car for the first time they'll say "Why do you have a fire extinguisher?!" and you can casually reply "Because Racecar."

In the past some people would tek screw it to the floor or the trans tunnel or console lid. In an accident they'd rip out straight away. So this WILL NOT pass scrutineering on the day.

LOL because racecar, haha, thanks for that advice Simon, ill be doing exactly what you said with the front passenger seat bolts, will look professional and neat,

ill get on the AASA application straight away

Guys, will there be lockers or somewhere for us to unload our bags/stuff during the day?

Everyone leaves their stuff on the ground... it will be fine!

If you dont like that you could put it in one of the offices.... in anycase you'll be fine :yes:

Well I know how to drive, so it won't be a blown motor!

But i do have an issue with WD's. I can't remember more than about 5 consecutive things at any given moment... So I'll keep going with that failboating no doubt.

:thumbsup: Just like last time... team orange FTW. Again. And Again.

lol you know damn well if i didn't get that WD, I was equal first. Out & out cheaper/race car vs a streeter that's never run the course HOHOHOH MERRRY CHRISTMASSSSS :thumbsup:

Seems to be a trend with Ash, has it all in theory but just can't deliver :)

I bet he could make Jenna Jameson have a multiple orgasm, in theory.......

Thanks! My first time and not sure what to expect.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
