Not a bad day overall, only managed to beat my PB by 0.77 on the very last lap of the day. Seemed like the track was coming good towards the end as many of the best laps were that final session.

I'll be glad if I never hear another VTEC engine and no exhaust (seemed like it) at full song lol

Results don't list club so no idea who is who from SAU VIC. Just listing who I know...

Jad, are your mates SAU VIC members?

We where scattered all over the place anyway.

Still a good day, just lacked the social aspect a little.

Lots of fun had on track esp when they combine group E and F (why I have no idea).

I just missed the airborn Pirus over the turn 10 exit curve.

Yeah - that last session was epic!

Really enjoyed following round the R33 (think the numberplates were JDM33), definitely quicker than me down the straights, but I was closing in under braking and probably about lineball around corners.

Weather was good, even if a little hot. Word for the day is VtechYo

My tyres were shot, so nothing but stuffing around and taking my uncle for laps... Was about a second off my normal pace, so wasn't much point pushing for times...

The last two session playing around with Richo was fun, I didn't get the gopro out all day, was a shame, because I spent a few laps there pissing myself laughing at some of the antics in the afternoon

Yeah wasn't quite the same, nothing like a free feed to get people together hehe

No airborne! Was being stupid and then remembered you lot were coming up fast, looked in the mirrors and it all went to shit lol. Think a few of us cut the grass over the day :)

Yo, nah Justin & Troy aren't members. Will do my best to convince them to join up though! Haha.

My RaceChrono tells me I did a couple of 1:45.1's, but I just couldn't manage a 44... next time!

I've seen posts indicating Calder has been dropped while PIARC round brought in, any chance to get the front page updated to clarify current plan.

Might also want to clarify if prior PI/Winton were a select round

That is what we discussed over pizza wasn't it?

Edit: You weren't at that meeting.....that would be why.

Yeah he wasn't there, he was 10mins away sitting on his couch.

But yeah - dropping 2 rounds... Maybe update the first post or something so it's clear for everyone

    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side 
    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
