Whats this about the HSV club...have they joined the WRX trackdays as well?

Yep, they have joined in the day to share the track costs I would presume. P.I. is about a $12k proposition now I think.

Lol there goes the neighbourhood :D

I wonder what the WRX members think of this as they will now be fighting for a trackday spot between SAU and the HSV/FPV clubs...

OK.... 3 days in and the entry list is already over 1/2 full.

If you are intending on going to this, I suggest you put an entry in pretty quickly.

& if you have entered, remember to check that your entry has been received - http://www.wrx.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=47871

The WRX club participation rates having been falling over the past 2 years so these multiclubs are the only way to make the championship survive. There will be alot more of this consolidation going on as track costs continue to rise and people start dropping off as their mortgages/rents start to bite given the i/rate environment/bear share market.

Entry List as at the 28th Feb : (48 entries)

...

Jack Blanas GTR 95 / GTSt 92

LOL you are "Other entrant Name" on my entry :P

Ho-ho R32 Widowmaker will ride again :D

Hopefully Matt loads up that weapon of his with some more vinyl...i need to be loaded as much ballast as possible :)

That's possibly the most sensible thing i've ever read on SAU. Are you sure you belong here?

A certain R33 GTR with a T88-34d and 450kw at all four will be entering this event :P Faxed the entry form off tonight, hopefully Alex will make it in!

:thumbsup:

I reckon it should break the 2 min mark...

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
