I dont even get what this thread is about.....

It doesnt take a genius to figure out what "when, where and how much?" would mean? I cant believe you actually need me to explain the title.

is he asking if there are any time attacks within 100km of sydney?? :S

Yes

as in sprints or hillclimbs

That would be great too, but i was thinking more circuit time attacks like oran park, wakefield or eastern creek. I was just wondering if there are any events coming up that the public can participate in.

on crack much?

No, can you speak english? "On crack much" doesn't make sense.

yeah....the m2-m7 time attack...

Haha, very funny.

harbour tunnel time attack

redhot

You and lingeringsoul should date each other.

So why not just ask that? I usually find if you take the time to articulate what you do know (or what you suspect to be the case) then properly phrase your question you'll get fewer spankers taking the piss out of your post.

Try the kindly folk at SAU NSW as there are a number of them who participate in track days and sprints/time attacks (The latter is just the Japanese term for the former. It is mostly used by 16 year olds & may explain the nonsense in this thread).

Beyond that have a look at the websites belonging to the circuits - specifically their calenders & try some of the larger performance shops who run track days..

Time attack...curse those BMI DVDs for having all new comers calling circuit sprints "Time attacks" :)

Look up the ARDC/Eastern Creek Calender for their next Friday L2S practice day and go have a blast. You will need a CAMS L2S licence which means you will have to join SAU-NSW to get the licence (Other clubs can do it, but you do own a Skyline :ph34r: )

Oran Park is not so easy to get on , but soon you will have your L2S licence which means you can attend any number of multi car club sprints at Oran Park. So look up various clubs websites and look at their calenders.

Next, there is Wakefield, they have plenty of open days you can attend, just look at their website for their calender.

AND, you would have been able to work all this out if you had of just looked at the website of any of the circuits you mentioned :wave:

Ahh, so its called circuit sprint in Oz, i did look on the track sites but i just couldn't find time attack or time trial.. bugger me. Thanks for that. HAHA BMI, yeah those damn dvd's got me really hyped up... especially anything that had the mine's gt-r in it... *dreams of owning that car*

I absolutely cant wait to get my hands on a cams license... soon, very soon.

I thought he was referring to Volk Racing Time Attack rims at first.

So yeah, say what you mean. We're not mind readers.

Oh, and just go do Wakefield. Easiest track to get onto in NSW (although it is 200km from Sydney), in terms of availability and licensing.

Fark. You keep starting dumb threads (re: I want a quiet exhaust should I buy a stagea will cops pull me over in a stagea) and wonder why you get flamed.

Also I doubt you will get a CAMS license "soon..very soon".

Now to your 'question' go attend a Wakefield track day...factor in costs for new brake fluid, possibly brake pads, maybe need to machine discs, oil change, helmet. A couple of laps at a track will rape your car so make sure it is properly maintained/prepared.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
