wta is a snore fest and is getting considerably worse each year, if I could have found somewhere comfortable I would have slept half the day.

The countries best cars, best drivers, a great track and facilities yet the on track action is non existent. They should just line up each class, give them each the track to themselves for 3 laps then we go spend the other half of the day watching the drifting and picking a winner out of the promo girls.

Well done Garth.

Well at least the R34 GTR I was driving just kept going and going, actually done the most laps out of any car at the event which is quote odd for a stock engine/turbos RB26. So at least I tried to keep the crowed entertained.

Watching time attack is a little slow if you or your team isn't involved, they can definitely improve on it as I'm sure in time it will get better. Some things to make it better I would suggest sector timing with light displays similar to the v8supercar top ten shoot out. A big screen to see this and if funds available to film the timing with in car footage. Cars that leak oil or smoke etc must be scrutineered prior to be allowed to head back out as this slowed the day, also caused most cars not to set a personal best or better their time, this was evident again in the last pro session as tilton and under Suzuki were sliding around from the class before them. The drifting was awesome to watch and I enjoyed the flying 500. Overall I enjoyed it and can see huge potential in it.

i must admit, being my first time attack, it was pretty boring.

best fun i had was walking around the pits and seeing all the cars and perving, then watching the drifting at night.

needs more action on track!! most likely not go next year.

anyone have pics of the girls? Lol

I thought is was a great show. Lots of prangs, and brocken cars and oil downs,hard to avoid and cleaned up pretty fast. Some highly strung cars though, so expected.

So the ARK R32 GTR that missed lasts years event has gone to the graveyard of cut up cars?

Alos, I have seen pics of the black Supra, Gorilla Ind or something. Always liked the car as it was quick and still looked like a street car....any idea how it ended up eating wall??? Major damage ?

    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • 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.
