So... the big question is- Who is coming out to race, and who is coming out to watch?

It's on the Sprint circuit this time, and they are 18 lap races.

Anyone brave enough to come play with R33RACER and me?

Anyone? Anyone at all??? AMEC? How about it mate? :whistling:

We will be out fo shizzle.

I posted about this in the qld events section, but it seems that not many people are actually into motorsport these days. Well, atleast real motorsport, ie. circuit racing, i think the general population are more simple minded and enjoy the likes of drag racing or the even more pointless form of drifting.

Its sad.

Yeah, I think maybe after years of self abuse, it just came naturally for them to advance to auto abuse.

Plenty do the QR sprints but racing is a different matter. Firstly competing against big dollar cars, second the perception that your car will likely get run in to and damaged by someone shooting for sheep stations.

Then there is the very popular Morgan Park sprint series, some of which is more interesting to watch than processional racing. And lots of fun to participate in.

lol still want to make it to one of these one day :(

will be doing the enduro at Oran Park the same weekend this time.

When is the round after this one? We won't keep up with you guys since the car is 3E but is should still be fun

And yet plenty of them go drifting, which is a lot harsher on a car, and the probability of body damage is so high its essentially a guarantee... All the circuit guys are careful about shunting another car, because it ruins the day, and we'd rather not be spending money repairing the body. The carnage at 12 months of JDM racing wouldn't even equal one practice night at Archerfield I reckon. Anyway, we're out there for fun and thrills, not carnage and spills so don't let the idea of being run into drive you away. We don't have big dollar sponsors to pick up the tab if the cars written off or damaged. All comes from our own pockets

You give them too much credit. Their idea of motorsport is driving to the spit on a Sunday or going for coffee :)

To answer the question though, I won't be ready this time out. If Russ gets the 34 ready it will be nice having a couple of them out on track next year.

wanna go for coffe nath? :)

doing timeattack in october? will be giving this one a miss unfortunately...

i would come to watch but will be building an engine instead! :)

hopefully the r34 can do some of these races next year! come play with you guys

russ

damn, youve been busy!! ps. my boss has a friend that is always running trackdays at eastern creek, so if you need testing im sure something can be aranged :)

awsome! love to get more laps at eastern creek.

keep me posted if you would, especially next year.

cheers russ

John, that toyo is just...well...stupid. I've seen it before and it is great. I'll try get out Saturday for a look. Unfortunately retirement doesn't provide enough cash to race seriously anymore.

Thanks mate (I think lol)

Unfortunately, I wont be out this weekend except as a spectator. Realised a little too late that the car has a blown headgasket from the last round and I really wasnt in the mood to swap the engine out of the other car into it. I've stripped it all down now to give it a freshen up instead, plus I'll be making some changes to the cooling arrangement. Annoying, but thats cars for you I guess.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
