Shit yeah :) i'm in, my Tein is already on its way to queensland. Just need to save for tyres and a service.

hehehe...not just yet Snowie :) I figure I'll finish this championship in the class I started in and maybe upgrade before next year.

I noticed the numbers were really down last round...not just in std class but across the board......COME ON PEOPLES - GET YOUR BALLS OUTTA YOUR MUMS HANDBAG AND JOIN TEAM WANG ON THE TRACK B)

Does anyone know where i can get a decent set of 245/17 and which brand to get?

I'm not after S03 or anything fancy like that, any ideas? Something that last me for our last two rounds, no stickie needed as i dont' want to carry too much speed into conner either, can't afford an engine rebuild yet.

Thanks

Hey andrew have you guys got a championship ladder like the rex guys? , it would be good to see what times your cars are doing . Ive got the VL commo thats at most of the events and during the last winton their was a TX5 that was part of the group i was in which i noticed was running in the 41's . Is that for real ? cause my dad owns one of these and this thing must be a weapon in a straight line or the driver is very very gifted.

adam

LOL...the TX5 driver had his transponder in a certain members GTR. I think he normally is in the low 1:50s approx

As for championship, yeh we have one going but we are still needing to work on numbers...to get an idea of the lap times see here

Bec just pointed out this is on a Sunday...anyone up for the Friday - Practice day, Sat-Skiing, Sunday-Sprint?????

And West, Falkenb 451 or the street pattern Azeni arent too bad a tyre and reasonably priced :)

But word of warning, i discovered early on in the piece that near new road tyres dont liek track work purely because of the trad depth and the tyre blocks getting warm and walkign around. So if your current road rubber is legal then have a play with that then get the nice road rubber for the street.

Perhaps Ant/INASNT can give you an idea of the tyres they used this year and how they stood up :)

That is funny, I hadnt realised what was going on! :)

Bec - Thanks for the thought :D I might stick to timing, photography and accompanying mavric on his "must eat all hot dogs from the burger bar" missions.

For anyone thats interested in the current club championship standing - including all the results and times so far I've attached a copy.

Please keep in mind this championship is for SAU Vic members only.

West maybe try one of those 2nd hand tyre joints that a few people go to. I'm yet to try them but a mate has got some cheap tyres from there a few times, SP2's etc... I know Geoff gets his tyres from one as well. Your size tyre should be easy to get a decent set.

Where is it Ferni? Do i see you at Winton this round?

Doesnt seem to have anything in it mate :mellow:

Perhaps  Ant/INASNT can give you an idea of the tyres they used this year and how they stood up :blink:

My rear tyres (Hankook Silica 104's) are stuffed and have big chunks of rubber coming off them after each track day. The fronts show evidence of alot of walking around from the near new tyres I used for my first rack day last year at sandown.

All in all a waste to use new street tyres on the track.

Where is it Ferni? Do i see you at Winton this round?

Don't know sorry, do a search I'm sure skylinegeoff has mentioned it a few times, along with some other people, there is more than one place... if you can't find one drop me a pm and i'll ask my mate for you.

INASNT: I have the same tyres on my car - hankooks - 4 track days and i think about 20,000ks on my hankooks and still going... no chunks missing, and still another 10,000ks on them i recon. Mustn' be driving hard enough.

Me wheel spinning out of every corner doesent help :)

    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
