Calder is putting together a little 2 day Road Touring Rally all to be held on the premises at Calder Park on March 11-12.

Basically this will be like a mini Dutton Rally etc in that events will range from track, to drag, to motokhana auto tests. I understand they will utilise the the track, the motorbike training area and even the ThunderDome.

You can enter either as a driver only or as a driver / co-driver team.

Requirements are the usual track day requirements of LS2 or equivalent license, helemt, fire extinguishers and wrist to ankle clothing.

Entry fee is very reasonable at $350pp.

More detail here> http://www.motorsport.com.au/news/rallymastsers.htm

Down side is it is on the same weekend as our Championship Round at Phillip Island. However despite this I am entering into this event.

Cheers.

Hey - it's just been announced over the weekend as part of this event one of the track "layouts" to be used will be the GP Track Layout which incorperates both the main track and the Dome into one lap. This layout has only ever been used once before for the 1989 World Touring Car round - which was won funnily enough by a Skyline!

Here's the layout

It doesn't take very long so you should only need to be there for half an hour max. Gives you a good excuse to take the day off and put the zillion stickers I'm sure they will give us on.

The only oddity compared to a normal track day requirement is 2kgs worth of fire extinguishers instead of 1. (Which is the same requirement for the Dutton). So if you have a 1kg one already you can simply put in another one and that is sufficiant.

So far we could have a nice little SAU contingent attending this! :)

:P

Are you guys doing this event by yourself? I have just put out some feelers for some NSW Co-Drivers. NSW cant lose!

Normally I'd do an event like this with a co-driver but in this case I'm not confident in the life span of my engine so I'm entering as driver only.

Plus - my usual co-driver is convinced that in these types of competitions his car is better so this will be a good test to see if it really is or not.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
