14th April - So You Think You Have A Fast Car - Prove It! Win Cash And Trophies


Recommended Posts

Bring your car out to the next sprint event at Queensland Raceway and enter your car in the AMEC Automotive Performance track event, to be held in conjunction with the next QR sprint day.

There are 2 categories, the 3 fastest cars in each category win CASH and trophies!

the cash prize pool split will be as follows:

FOR CARS WITH UNDER 60s Personal Best (Category A):

1st place: 50% of category A prize pool

2nd place: 30%

3rd place: 20%

FOR CARS WITH OVER 60s Personal Best (Category B):

1st place: 50% of category B prize pool

2nd place: 30%

3rd place: 20%

there will also be a trophy for last place - the wooden spooner encouragement award :laugh:

ENTRY FEE: $25 in addition to your QR Sprint fee OR $20 for pre-entry.

HOW TO ENTER: entries will be taken on the day or you can pre-enter for a discounted entry fee of $20. after you have confirmed your sprints entry send me a PM if you want to enter our event.

YOU MUST ENTER THE QR SPRINTS SEPERATELY PRIOR TO THE TRACK DAY. The Entry form for the QR sprints is found here:

WHEN: the next QR sprints round on April 14th.

Of course our own car is not eligible to compete in the event! :)

see you on the race track!!

Might come out fer a run~It's only the sprint or sprint + clubman? Cost of entry for the day?

the event will only be run on the sprint circuit. entry for the QR sprints is $90. the additional entry fee for our event is $20 prepaid or $25 on the day. send me a PM to arrange a prepaid entry.

sounds like fun. We will be out there for the sprints. What times you run around there now AMEC?

last time we did a new PB of 57.5. since then we've put AP Racing 4 pot calipers on the rears :pirate: we're going down to the Nissan/Datsun nationals over easter which is being held at Phillip Island, should see some scary speeds down the start/finish straight!

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
