Improved Production Nationals 29-30sept


Recommended Posts

The Improved Production Nationals are on at Morgan Park Warwick next weekend. Included in some of the high quality cars coming up from down south are at least two of the best GTRs running around. One driven by Dave Loftus and the other by John Boston. They're extremely well built cars and definitely worth coming to see. I'll be there on Sunday to see if my mate's track record gets done by the interstate GTRs!

So if you want to see 2 or 3 GTRs out the front of a field again like the good old days of Group A racing and this pic from the last NSW IPRA round get out to Warwick and check it out!

warwick is about 2hrs roughly from brissy. Funny cause the qr state champs are on also at qr same date. I would love to go and see the gtrs race, hopefully someone will get some video footage.

I dont know how to get there, But im keen as... is that the warick like 130kms past ipswich?

that's right. its about a 2hr drive from brisbane. Just keep going on the highway past QR/Willowbank and that will take you straight into Warwick. There are permanent big Green signs on the roadside directing you to Morgan Park Raceway - you go through Warwick and pretty much out the other side of the town towards Stanthorpe before you see the sign directing you to Morgan Park

I can't find any info on gate costs or a race program, but from experience, qualifying will be on Saturday morning and most of the races including the final will be on Sunday. They're running a Top 10 shootout on Saturday afternoon for the Top 10 in both over and under 2L classes, so that might be worth watching too. I'd expect gate cost to be about $30? I'll see if I can find out more.

The QLD IPRA Nationals page doesn't have much info at all...

Road Trip!!!!!

I'd be up for that. I'll be heading out there on the Sunday if anyone want to meet up for the drive?

I've only got a diesel Patrol at the moment though, so you might have to wait for me to catch up after Cunningham's Gap! :lol actually, I'm not joking - it ain't fast up hills... but I'm negotiating with a guy about a Skyline in Melbourne at the moment though, and there's a slight possibility it might be here in time if all goes well :D

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
