Hey guys, looking at buying a 2 or 3 layer nomex suit and they are mega expensive. Even the 2 layer ones from Revolution are over $550.

Are there any other places in Sydney worth checking out? What about online is there a lot of money to be saved? Where should I be looking? My concern with going online is getting a suit that doesn't fit but if I'm paying half the price I'll run the risk and return if it need be.

Anyway keen to hear your thoughts.

^These guys were very helpful. After meeting them at WTAC, I was very happy to purchase from them. They even pay for the return postage to exchange the suit for a different size.

If you can, go and check out the trade stands at this years WTAC.

Pro tip: Always order a size up from the size you measure up to. By the time you sit it your race seat the suit tends to ride up a bit.

Sorry I ment in 2013. Not sure if they were there this year, as I couldn't get there myself. I just assumed they would be again?

Ah OK, i wandered around most of the stands and didnt see them... But its only a few hours away so am roadtripping there after i drop my car off at Road2Race on the weekend...

They have seats and steering wheels etc in stock to try out so its worth the drive! They seem pretty helpful so far over the phone and also came recommended from Boz :)

Just realised they have a showroom in emu plains, will check them out. Cheers

Lol yep! Hence the roadtrip ;)

That is the Sparco Australia Distributor.

Address is 3 Pullman Place Emu Plains (#4 is the distribution warehouse).

Bought all my gear off them, just make sure you call before you leave home to make sure they will be open.

    • Hi Rob It's a nistune ecu. Yes same shop, good reputation. Apparently the computer on the dyno is compensated for temperature.    Chris was saying that the lean or richness of the mixture would be covered in the actual tune, but he's already picking up in advance that it's under what it should be. Regards the dyno, it's also noticeable on the road. But I just want to add something that has just come in, it appears there might be something in the setup of the external wastegate. In the exhaust manifold there is a centre divider between the front three and rear three cylinders. The external wastegate has a pipe from each side that join at the wastegate. Theory is those two pipes just might be pypassing that divider and introducing a problem somehow. Is anyone familiar with the divider in the exhaust manifold and the effects if the two wastegate pipes were to create a bypass path? Thanks for your questions Rob, interested in your thoughts on this external wastegate bypass theory. Regards Rob
    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 馃ぃ And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 馃お
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly
