me and a couple of mates are going to this weeks open practice at calder....i realise its a short track and may be crap...but hey its close and apart from the need for driving suits(which they hire for $30)the requirements are pretty basic...would be good to see any others join in

inark "open practice" is different to the other sessions and requires a driving suit.

It's done on Wednesdays during the day 9am-4pm

however, $165 is out of my price range.... if I had that sort of money to burn, i'd be burning it on an advanced driving course.

its wednesday....pickles in airport west?was it out front of a panel shop?

yeah :)

hard to miss with those carbon fibre tail light surrounds

i was thinking of trying to get the car to the drift prac on wednesday night... cant make the open session during the day because of work.

yeah :mad:

yeah the guy that owns that shop is by far the most talented yet unrecognised guy i have ever met.......i have seen him make panels and lead load,unbeleivable tradesman and one of the nicest guys you are ever likely to meet...what was you doing down that neck of the woods nark?

hmmmmmmmmmm... sounds good... wonder if he'll modify my front guards... vent them... make em nice and wide... should be pretty easy so if he can make his own panels im sure it will be easy as for him :D

i went down there to get a car towed from pickles... went past with Jack. Almost missed it thanks to Jacks decked out truck :D

it was good....i am running low boost at the moment,i just needed a tiny bit more boost then i reckon i wouldve done the 360 modena on the straight :cheers:(my highest speed was about 240)oh and i mightve had a chance in the corners too but i needed some neg camber :D

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
