Great work today by all the volunteers for a very smoothly run event. Entries and admin, scruitineering, course setup, bbq, course changes, time keeping, course changes, cleanup, and of course the huge bands of rubber collectors making sure we are welcome again next time. And of course the random, unexplained guy holding a large silver sunshade over people's heads in the morning, very handy.

I had a very fun day, couldn't have had more different cars than the Leaf and Stagea, but they both ended up with very similar times.

+1 to what Duncan said, SAU Texis and indeed all SAU events are very professionally run, a credit to all of the organisers and volunteers that we can enjoy such an awesome day with our cars in a safe environment.

Had a ball, almost got through a very hard set of Maxxis tyres but missed last run by the skin of my teeth. Next time!! Had plenty of runs and occasionally set a decent time as well so very happy with the day overall.

Well done to all drivers today, some quick times, some skids, lots of smoke, many laughs. Sorry I had to leave early and couldnt time keep the afternoon as well. The 32 will definately be ready in june/july for the next texi ;)

My pick of the day the leaf and its tyres begging for mercy on the tight course. And also the hilux with an RB until it unfortunately sounded like it spun a big end. Well done all other volunteers and organizers. See you all next time looking forward to trolling all your vids and pics ;) and yes the random sun shadebloke was great lol.

The hilux had a 1G-GTE in it, he would not be happy to have someone say its an rb :rolleyes:. It defiantly spun a bearing, then threw a rod on the way home about 2km out and had the crank vibrating so much it was moving the clutch pedal inside the car. Made it home to his street then died an honorable death and hadto be pushed into the driveway.

What a fantastic day! Couldn't have asked for better weather.

Thanks to all the helpers and extra hands folks. Really makes running these days so much better and enjoyable.

I've got a lot of video to sort through so will have a nice video ready in a week or so. I'll put up a 'teaser' tomorrow with a couple of highlights.

Wow, now I really can't wait for the next one.

Oh wow what an awesome day!!!! I LOVE Texi days.

The TEXI days dont happen without all the effort put in by the SAU crew, so big thanks to you all for all your hard work as usual.

Great to put some new faces to names and meet a stack of new people. Thanks to Jeff and Steve for helping me fix, well try and fix, my leaking fuel tank cap. We tried twice and neither worked, so the fuel cap won in the end, DOH! I had a good morning so still mega happy.

I took more than 20 Videos of various cars on the day. I will upload then to YOUTUBE tomorrow arvo and put the links up here ASAP for all to see.

Cheers!!!

Great to see so many people helping out at the end of the day packing up & cleaning out the grounds so we can continue to have more texi in the future. Looking forward to vids & pics of everyones runs, plenty of cameras about so hopefully they all share.

Eric Enjoying being the centre of attention as usual ;)

Saw pics of a hwp car on bookface. What's the story there? Seriously, couldn't you convince them to get on and do a skid??? :P

story is:

came to have a look after hearing burnouts at the station.

i believe some tried to convince him, but he would not partake.

said he was coming back, dont know if he did or not.

was indeed a great day :)

the copper was only coming to have a look. he heard skid sounds from all the way up the hill at the servo and thought he'd get lucky haha. he did! he came and found us. he was loving it! he really wanted to take the car out but couldn't due to his duties. he didn't end up coming back, but asked when the next one was.

Had a great day, thanks to the admin team for running the day - everything seemed to go smoothly and I only heard positive things about the unexpected jump in the number of attendees. Unfortunately I had to give up pretty early in the day after this happened...

That will teach me for thinking some crappy second hand nankangs would take the punishment - gotta bring spares next time!

So that meant I spent the rest of the day car-hopping and taking pics - thanks to everyone that took me out for a ride!

I've posted the pics on my blog here: http://www.larmour-photo.com/wp/?p=595 but I'll try and dump them here too...

      NC MX5

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
