Just a note on the results.

Firstly the times from Blaise's Bunny aren't counting towards to outright competiton due to the large number of people that missed out setting a time.

Also due to an error in the way half of the 1st set of times were recorded in the Long Wang we only have used the times from peoples 2nd and 3rd runs for this event.

Hopefully otherwise we dont have too many concerns about times given this time around.

Cheers - and congrats to Scotsman and David M on their class victories.

I am chuffed with my times! :D

Out of the box liberty with 2 mods. An SAU group buy window tint and my private plates :(

How come Ryan isnt down as the winner of the 2wd slalom yet won it 3 times? :(

we were under the impression that only two of the timed runs from each course would count and not all 3. but bleh, you get that. still had awesome fun.

Im fairly happy with my times & surprised at some of the people i beat. I was worried i'd end up behind Scott after seeing some of the times he was doing.

Jarrod, is that 39.6 on the first motorkhana the one when i was in the passenger seat? i think i know how you got such a good time.

Andrew, if you make any modifications to the results could you change my car to R32 instead of R33.

because all three times i touched the same cone, bit dissapointing but ah well. it was so much fun, i like the slalom with the triangle up the top, makes it a bit harder for the big HP cars and gives the slower cars a chance to get up there.

I thought if it wasnt moved it didnt count.

Ah well, with more DECA's next year you are bound to get on top at one. :)

he did take out the fastest time on the Short Wang in 2WD comp which is a mighty fine performance given it is a bit of a HP track.

But he probably was one of the few guys who didnt come off a little over that hill. I did some video footage there for a bit and it seemed most guys didn't quite have the wang to keep the foot fully down over the hill.

quick question... on the long wang... if hypothetically I don't go through the chicane, but instead plough through a (single) cone, does that count as a 5 second penalty only?

depends on which single cone we are talking about.

If it was the one on say the very edge of the road (A) or (F) it would be 5s for the cone being hit + 10s for the 2 other cones you went on the wrong side of.

(A)___(B)___( C)

.....................(D)___(E)___(F)

If it was just the 1 cone in the middle ( C) or (D) then yes its just 5s.

Does that make sense?

Well thats how it should "technically" be.

It also means if you went "off road" and went around all the cones then you'd have missed 3 cones which = DNF.

Sorry Jarrod didnt mean to drive that slow on the long wang kinda didnt know where i was going :) so went a lil slower... althought the short wang was alright kept similar times to yourself... and again well done to all that won events :D...

makes good sense, cheers. The way I was thinking, line up cone C, go over it, take a 5 sec penalty and not reduce your speed in the chicane.

Technically as long as you clock the whole course in 39 seconds at top speed (as you won't be slowing down for chicanes), if you take a 15 point hit in penalties for knocking 3 cones, you could have equalised with Chris for top time :)

if you lost 5s per chicane then its a good plan but there's no way that you should slow down that much to go through those chicanes that you'd gain 5s by hammering through!

LOL, unless your car doesn't like changing direction rapidly :D

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
