well im not going then. not just because i work for the ABC, but because that show is the most false and mis-leading program ever created. its purely for ratings, cause we all know what hot topics "young drivers" and "hoons" are like at the moment. do you know what kind of an angle their going to put on the story?

Knowing TT it will no doubt be about young drivers and hoons but seeing them at Wakefield (i.e. off the street) can only be a good thing? The story is something about young drivers need for speed so I am hoping that some of the "regulars" I see out there turn up, i.e. the older gentleman that punts his AMG CL500 (or whatever it is) around, some of the WRX fellas etc. They will no doubt put a spin and probably say how we "hoons" are honing our skills on the track for the street or some crap. But I want to give Wakefield the best opportunity to promote itself.

I was going to try and get interviewed to say how days at Wakefield are getting people off the street, thats not just young drivers but older drivers and getting them to experience what there limits are and how quickly they find them in a relatively safe environment. Drivers are learning skills for life that could help them in a dangerous situation on the street.

Then again that might be edited by Today Tonight to read something else.

At least the ABC (and SBS) seem to report in a non-biased fashion rather than sensationised garbage that ACA and TT regularly put out.

My Son Matty J had a great time at Wakefeild :) - Thanks to Eddie n Gordo for taking him and taking good care of him. Thanks to Jayce and E for making him feel welcome.

He's unbeleivably fast on the Go carts. I know he'll be drivin a HPI around Wakefield when he's old enough (maybe even Sinista).

Exactly the way to do it mate. Once he has some experience up he will be blowing the doors off me. :O Good to hear you will get him on the track early. There really is no better way to get him learning his and the cars limits. It's how a good friend of mine started and there is just no way I can compete with his driving ability.

Its an Open Practise Day so anyone can come along. I actually posted up on StreetRides (twice) and didn't get a response. More than happy for them to head out. Doesn't matter what you drive and if it's an R32 GTR you are not allowed on the track without giving me a drive first. :P (just jokes)

Thats right its the same price whether you are driving or a passenger.

Haven't set a time to leave yet but it will be early. Feel free to get all the SAU crew to meet at 7 at the Shell Servo, I might not be able to meet you there though. Knowing the guys they will be going the back way past Tarago. You won't be able to miss we will have a fair few cars up there including my car. I will be sure to be at the servo or come and grab you out there. The list so far includes:

Me - S15 200SX

Coxy - SR20DET 1200 ute

Dan - VY Clubsport

Joe - Clubsport

Chris - XD ute (400rwhp NA 351)

Johno - Evo VIII

Luke - R33 Skyline

Pete - R33 Skyline

Niko - Supra TT

A few others aren't 100% yet and Ben from VE might even take the work ute out like last time (V6 VS shitta ute)! haha Unfortunately the race car is still undergoing surgery after Phillip Island.

Anyone else?!

List updated.

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
