Next time perhaps we can get cones that don't like to jump out in front of my car. All in all it was a great event and I can see it just getting better.

they must be the same cones that jumped in front of my car... you can't trust em LOL

woooohah.

what a day. I had a good time and came up with some decent times. It was my first time at a timed event and the track was very tight and scary in places.

I was the one that came off the track and it was a fairly scary experience. on my previous run I did a 1.46 and it was a very tidy run.

Coming over the last crest downhill (just after the cone that was next to the oil) i started to oversteer i lifted off and got the car straight, but by then my front left was on gravel and it was all over wink.gif i was doing about 70k's. after that it was a 20 metre slide down dirt and a big scare.

no one was hurt and there was no damage to the car. I really think the course was too dangerous for first timers with hipo cars.

big thanks to the organizers. they did a good job and their efforts were greatly appreciated. it ws also really nice to meet such a good bunch of people.

It was a good day and I would like to say a big thanks to all who put in on the day Top effort!

and we cant forget the cooks for the much needed feed thanks also.

no worries

i think me and my co-chef (forgot his name) set a world record for the longest time to cook snags, that wind was a killer

Was good to meet some of you. And i've learnt it is much . . . much harder to drift on that skid pan then elsewhere. It may have had something to do with the 2 feet of water. And my noobish track day skills.

What times did people get on the back course i managed a 1:45 point somethingorother

EDIT: NEVER MIND USE THE WRAP UP THREAD

Bloody awesome day indeed! W/end was full of laughs and good driving! I enjoyed the skid pan... but the hill climb section was absolutley awesome.... the taxi flew around it!!

A huge thanks to the organisers, event supervisors, etc etc etc...

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
