Ah, I was think DT may have been DECA for some reason. Right now that I know I will be doing the DT in March at Calder if that can be done. Any help or advice would be appreciated too :)

Oh and you can put me down for September to help out as well.

Done and Done.

Hey guys,

Just to confirm, a CAMS L2S licence will be acceptable for the PI round?
I emailed PI a while ago asking about their open practice days and they said I needed a Level 3 Provisional Circuit licence to enter those days.
Just want to double double check!

Cheers.

The "level 3" circuit licences are basically door-to-door licences for competing in national events etc. Not sure why PI ask for those licences on practice days... maybe different regs and car types.

L2S is fine for the PI round held by WRX.

One step closer! Getting some new (second hand) rims tomorrow for track use :) I was wondering where is a good place to be looking for tyres? I know the usual places like Tyrepower, Bob Jane etc. but just seeing if there is somewhere else that specializes in whats needed for this series (will be entering the un-modified RWD class) or a business affiliated with Sau Vic even that I could get them from? Had a look on the VPW site but they don't sell any of the particular sets asked for. But anyway I have a million questions but will leave it at that for now :)

PS. Really looking forward to next week even if I will just be a spectator for this round! :P

Yeah looking at budget street legal. I got some rims today but unfortunately the rubber on them isn't whats on the list so thinking of getting the Achillies 123S.

don't I gave them a try recently and very unimpressed.

Try some

hankook RS3's

or if you have some more $$ get some Yoko AD08R, best tyre, but highest $ as well

OTR has the RS3 at a good price.

Of course you don't have to use tyres on the list, standard street tyres are legal too.

Ah really! So the rubber on my new rims will be ok, thats great to hear, gives me time to save for better tyres as well as being able to get on to Driver trainer sooner! :)

And I was wondering how good they were after reading a few reviews, people seemed 50-50 on them. But will check out OTR for these Hankook rs3's for later in the year. Thanks :)

Another question is where might I find small diameter wheel nuts? Gave a few places like Autobarn a call and they hadn't heard of them. I've seen them on ebay but I'm hesitant to buy anything car related off ebay other than gear boot covers and dash globes :P

Anyone heading to PI this weekend and want to share a garage? Can comfortably fit 2 cars and tools in there. Works out to be $180 in total from memory.

Shoot me a message on 0408808021 if your keen.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
