Just thought I would remind people that the final round of the ANDRA Sports Compact Championship will be on this Sunday 21st May. Looks like there will be a number of high powered GTR's, GTS-t's, as well as the usual rotaries and fours that will make this quite an interesting meet.

So who's in, who's not, who's racing, who's going to do what? Rumours and trash talk expected :P

DAMN!

The little orange rotary won S/RWD.

I exploded another right-hand CV in the semis (and red-lit anyway) ;) That's racing.

Daniel Beer (RNMENC) has discovered that he likes drag racing and went out in the semis to Shane Crichton's Cressida (eventual runner-up) with a 12.180 breakout on a 12.200 dial-in.

Great day, dissapointed that I had to be towed home. We had spare shafts but it was getting dark and cold :( 2RISMO is now safely tucked up in bed at Bezerkly.

Track was very good and the car was pretty consistent; the runs were like this:

1st pass:

1.826 60ft

5.042 330ft

7.669 @ 91.37mph 660ft

9.925 1000ft

11.800 @ 120.02mph

2nd pass:

1.700 60ft

4.907 330ft

7.521 @ 93.03mph 660ft

9.777 1000ft

11.662 @ 118.34mph

3rd pass:

1.705 60ft

4.909 330ft

7.533 @ 94.01mph 660ft

9.789 1000ft

11.669 @ 119.78mph

4th pass:

1.698 60ft

4.909 330ft

7.541 @ 93.86mph 660ft

9.806 1000ft

12.030 @ 86.58mph - (on the brakes in eliminations)

5th pass:

BANG!

(11.662 and 120.02mph are both pb's though.)

Car is incredibly consistent in the 60' and to half track - 330ft times within 2 thousandths and picking up 26mph (28mph+ on the first run) from half track. I think I got a handle on how to get it consistent just in time to get a handle on how may passes I get out of a pair of shafts! :D

HUGE thanks to Stuart and the boys from Bezerkly Automotive in Wollongong, Daniel Beer, Taryn and Brett for the kind words of encouragement from the grand-stand.

yeah it was a mixed day alright. you were doing awesome adrian till the redlight and shaft breakage :D plus the commentators gave it to you heaps. lol but you must be pleased with a pretty solid day.

i was surpised to see the bezerkley cars running 13s on slicks (or MTs not sure which) i would have thought with all that gear they would be quite quick?

wow there was some drama with theo, poor guy i felt for him big time. the guy he was racing against went in to stage while theo was still getting ready and theo just didnt get into full stage in time and redlighted. i was really hoping for an 8 from theo but i guess that's racing. rules are rules but man it seemed harsh that he top qualified early in the day then didnt get to run again. I thought he at least would have wheeled it out for a grudge match (maybe against the 33 that ran a 14.0 for the win against him? lol) but i guess he was too pissed to bother which was a shame. I hope he comes back because his car was stunning and there is no doubt he will run an 8.

Paul and stacey had a tough day too with missing 1 quali then mechanical problem in the next and only quali seeing them not qualifying. then hit some dramas in the grudge (or were you in ET?). But i'm sure you guys will be back bigger and better. :(

Jun had some gearbox dramas but god damn it was a nice looking car and sounded just magic. It was a really nice 32 GTR. just stunning.

it was a shame that a lot of the quick cars got outed by slow ones but i guess that is DYO bracket racing. personaly not my cup of tea, but for some reason seems to be what we get in sport compact classes.

oh ye! my bro ran a 6.81 @ 210.97MPH!!! n that was on and off the throttle, still alot to come from this car >_<

i think that shut up alot of critics of his car!!!

awesome day, got my adrenaline goin jus watching his passes... 3 consecutive 205MPH + passes and no issues.

i didnt get to see many other cars race, saw a few nic 32 gtr's tho :dry:

the "camrydore" (ex vn pro stck made into a camry) sounded n did well... 2JZ from the states.

the MR MAD torana was awesome to watch, the last? pass I think it did where he backed off then hit it again to run a 7.1 was fantastic.

Flew up from Melb for the day to check it out, had a great time, plenty of awesome cars, spewin I missed some of the earlier GT-R passes.

he i think he felt the car get ou of shape wen it carried the wheels, had the steering slightly turned to anticipate the correction and i think it wasnt as bad as he tought so it veered right a bit, but to back off for that long, and then hit it agan several times and still run a 7.1 @ 208mph is phenomenal. still alot left in the car i guess!! here r some pics i dug up.

in the first photo u can see how far the wheels have come up and carried, and thats at almost half track! u can see the end of the grandstand nd the cleanup guys a little further up on the right lol i love this car haha

I had a great day - the sportsmanship shown by almost all racers was great and the breakage in the semi was the only low-light. Chris Diggles and I go way back - I'm sure he had the Arnie impersonations pumping on the commentary.

Daniel (green Bezerkly car) ran 11.80 @ 121 mph on his first qualifier but the clutch (that I helped fcuk the week before) gave up so he could only run 16psi, changing at 5500rpm. Went on to a 12.180 on a 12.200 dial. Not bad for a guy with less than 20 passes under his belt.

Theo's car was awesome on the pass I saw. I was two cars back waiting to be called forward when he went 9.0 @ 156 (I think) - sounded very very strong and the crew all cheered so they must've been happy.

Hard luck to the mighty TWO06L but when it comes back, oh man! Bigger, Stronger, Faster! >_<

Can't wait for next season.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
