During entry it'll ask you if you're a Beginner, Intermediate or Racer, and ask you for your PB time at Winton or Sandown so they have an indication of how fast you are.

They'll use this information to group together based on times (I hope) and not just throw all of us SAU people into one group where nobody will be able to get a clean lap because of varying pace.

AC, can you confirm?

I know that's how it usually works, but I've had issues with traffic at previous busy tampered events which is really frustrating and dangerous.

Previously they've allowed groups to go in together and the driving/traffic has always been better with a group who has great track etiquette, even with speed differences

I can ask the question, this is our first day with Tampered in a long time so let's see how it goes.

Also Justin does your BMW have an engine swap, stripped out interior or the addition of a turbo or supercharger? (just for the championship groupings)

No worries, I'll have a think about it and let you know of I enter :)

It's a stock n/a 2.5 and I run with full interior for our events, on Hankook RS3s :)

Does tagging Racer=being put in a group with idiots who think it's door to door racing, hold you up or dive down the inside using my wing as a corning assistant?

Kind of concur with being in an SAU group, even if there is a speed difference(to a point), we know about it, faster ones out first, slower at back and we know who is experienced and likely to be looking etc.

BTW, where are we marking SAUVic, not asked me for a Club yet, just sponsorship.

Discussions going on in the background about an SAUVIC group. There negatives to this of course, with vast lap time difference. However most of us know what times we do, so as long as we exit the pit in that order there shouldnt be any issues.

Plus its not all about times, it's fun battle on track as well.

Let's see if the track is quicker!

From chatting to friends that have already raced there they said the racing line is nice and grippy so you are quicker but get off that line and it will spit you off the track very easily..

Sounds like you will all have an interesting day... :)

As someone who has never done Winton before (or only done a track day in a completely different car in completely different track and different country) this is a worry lol.

Are Tampered days really that bad? Have heard nothing but "lol, I don't go to tampered days" from literally 100% of people that it's come up with in conversation.

Don't worry probably more like 50 shades of grip also if you've not been to many you'll be unlikely to be using 100% of your mechanical grip anyhow.

BTW are you in driver training?

As for Tampered days, they seem to be getting more slick as for other competitors, they tend to be paying their own repair bills which always helps concentration.

      R34 Diff oil

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      R34 Diff oil

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.

      By Duncan · Posted

      How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
