I'll take my TT soarer, so I'll comfortably be the most boat-ish one out there on the track :P

and with only 150kw at the treads, a slow boat to boot >_< But the track's twisty enough for maybe that lack of oomph to really hurt me tooooo bad....

We will be most welcoming to the newbies.

There is likely to be 4 groups each based around your lap times so for eg:

Group 1 - newbies

Group 2 - 1:18 - 1:15

Group 3 - 1:14 - 1:12

Group 4 - 1:11 and faster

Bear in mind that there will be no official timing but I'm sure we can get some people on the wall with stop watches and there may be a portable lap timer or two around to borrow. This means you have to honestly estimate your time in order for us to group you.

adam im happy to be put in either noobies or group 2, ive wakefield once but did get into the 1:17's so its your call,

i guess its whether i want to be a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in a big pond lol,

preferably group 2 though

Wakie isnt a fast track.. its more a handling track..

wakie is the sort of event that wouldn't be complete if you didn't go the night before and get absolute pissed and getting up 5 hours later to race........

pretty sweet I say

i like your style, i was gonna stay for australia but dint in the end and really wished i had so i will be for this one yeeoooww

Wakie isnt a fast track.. its more a handling track..

yeah your right, u can go fast but if you dont know how to take the corners you wont do fast times. my first session i tried to punch tyo hard and was doing 1:20's, got some advice took 2 and half seconds off the next session.

Newbies- Get some pointers, it really pays off at wakie!

Just out of interest Adam, who owns the timing equipment that has been used at the previous official SAU days?

James, wakie is a handling kind of track, so if you got your suspension sorted you can do some good lap times, last time i was there i only had semi's on and no suspension work and did a 1.13 lap time, i would catch the GTR's around the corners but come the straight they started to pull away, only to catch them at the first corner again. But they didn't have semi slick tyres. If you can get some semi's mate it will knock off 2-4 seconds a lap! My car was basically stock too engine wise. But not now. Still only standard turbo though.

It's good to race different cars too, i'm sick of beating all the skylines and a CEFFY!!!

This I know, hence my comment regarding it being a twisty track so my lack of power may not hurt me as much as I initially thought. ;)

Haha no semislicks for me, With old KYB's and unknown springs in the car she won't even scratch the surface of the limit of some semis, so I'll just stick with the tyres I've got. I'll be going to have fun and get to know some of yas, I know the Soarer won't set a world-beating pace. I'll be firmly wedged in the newbie group. :laugh:

Aside from that, it's events like this that make me wish I still had my old Corolla. AE82 corolla with a 4AGZE in it, and considerable suspension work - now that's a car that with some falken semis or something on it would shock a few of you I think! But oh well :P

Cheers,

James

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
