Damn, i leave early and i miss out on TB doing something special with something fixed. I had the best view today, being on the start finish line. I must admit, while i did'nt see any Vortex's being generated from nay cheater cars, but Riverdance's. Ferni's, Jacks and TB's car sounded very nice!!! That Datto got my vote FTW!!! But i do love the sound of a good rotary!!! :rolleyes:.

And that Lotus was fun to sit in, but i'm tipping anyone would look cool sitting in it, even teh Fonz would struggle to look cool getting out of it :( Lambo is tehporn!

Congrats to everyone for putting in some great laptimes :D I was pretty happy with my 1.26 and with a bit to learn around corners 2,3 and the last two corners onto the straight there is prob a high 1.24 in there somewhere.

Time to get my susp. sorted and bring on June :)

...and again, see the times Riverdance is doing on street tyres! Dispelling some of the thinking about how quick you can go at places like Sandown / PI etc on street tyres.

You can add Handbags doing a 1.27.7 in the S15 to that list as well.

I want to thank everyone from SAU who helped out and made the day run smoothly.

Your help is greatly appreciated by the both SAU and WRX Club, as without the assisstance of volunteers, the day would not go ahead.

It really is great to see so many SAU faces who are willing to donate their time and help out at these events.

Thanks again to all.

Also congrats to all the drivers, some great lap times and some great viewing as well.

instead of being a second faster this time I was a second slower... just wanted to go quicker than James in the EVO and ended up getting steadily slower all day... trying too hard and my brain may have fallen out sometime around lunch... I have decided I need more power to make up for my lack of skill haha:)

sad to see the 32 dented Troy... some good times were put down in the afternoon, congrats to everyone who set pb's

What a great day it was..

I enjoyed helping out and would do it again..

Well done every 1 on there lap times.

Troy :) (THE KING OF SPIN)

Ya shot past Mav and i at like 200 and in a blink you were doing 360s.. It freaked us out

Thanks for the show.. Will buy ya a beer for that 1.. :D

But damned if i wasnt going to do a 1:22 with the same basic car i came from NSW in. So it looks like next time at Sandown the car will have some gear that will make it easier/safer to drive...and hopefully quicker

...saddest thing is that no other sane person will let me drive their cars again :( I had to run off and prove im a hack :ninja: Video will be up over the weekend sometime

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
