DID ANYONE ELSE GET TO DO A LAP AROUND THE TRACK!!!!!!!!

bollocks did i have a smile on my face

so im leaving cant remember what time, and the way i came in was blocked off, and there was this opening to the track.. i slowly creeped up... see this msutang, thought sweet

got on to the track and then the security on a motorbike asked me if i needed help

i said im jsut tryin to get out

he goe sok, u can do a u turn and go about 400m to "turn 13" and exit there... or u can go all the way around the track the long way and go to "turn 13"

i didnt do the u turn

it was pretty awesome, now i didnt completely fang it, but i did give it abit... just kinda made my day i reckon! was guna try film it on my fone but my battery was dead.. lol

hoping someone magically took a pic of my car on the track!!!

Hey Ferah, that was me you were talking to when you asked for Mav.

After i asked for your name, you kind of turned off to the girls, so i didn't bother introducing myself :(

Notice the similarities between my car and the pic in my avatar :)

Omg as if u dont intro urself!! LoL U should have said sumthnggg!!!!

As soon as you said your name you turned to your friends and walked off.

I even said bye to you as i was driving out, and you had this "pffffft wtf" look on your face; as if it just tried to pick you up. :( I must admit, i cnbf walking through the stand today, due to the heat.

I was disappointed with the placement of SAU, as it appeared that we were chucked in the far corner, away from everyone. The excuse was to be closer to the dyno, but hardly anyone from SAU wanted to go on the dyno.

yeah the NS group decided to enter What 3 days before entrys close and no one there to look after cars

None the less Al i dont see anything the same between your car and the avtar your car is a very nice Red and stock front bar and dark gray AVS 6s HAHA :)

well gf is on her way here and i will be getting ready and heading off soon so see you all soon

Thanks Rob! :(

My track rims look like the ones in the Av, the colour also looks pearly in the Av. It has big brakes, no wing, same grill, tinted windows, etc.

Just the front bar is different, and that's because i don't want to shatter a fibre glass bar if i hit a cone at DECA, etc. :)

HAHA yeah i have to say after this weekend and meeting and talking with alot of SAU members im looking forward to doing more meets with you guys

just get acouple more things for my car (batt sticker, and fire thingi)

Well now I'm back at work for a rest....feel a little worn from 4 days of drinking and hot weather :)

Had an awesome time despite our placement being a little out of the way....and the DUST....why oh why did I bother getting my car detailed :D .....I can only hope that the wax protected the paint from scratches!

Was good to hang out with everyone as usual and the atmosphere of the GP just added to it...sorry I didn't get to be on the stand much during race day but the bits of cf I scored off a broken F1 car made my day :nyaanyaa:

How many other people were smart enough to get in there car and leave straight away? I was home on the couch by 6:30 which was definitely FTW.

But I was spewing there wasn't a trophy for the car with the most amount of stuff written in the dust on it. I would have been a shoe in. :nyaanyaa:

yeah snowy I was sitting at the traffic lights at fitzroy st waiting to turn left an you went by, I asked Alisa an she said some had already left an she wasnt going to stop anyone. So I was staright in the car and outta there.

I'm pretty sure everyone left via the actual circuit, people were still walking round the track when I went through so there was definatley no fanging it round the track......not that Daphnie has the ability to "fang" anywhere....lol

I had a great time over the weekend as per usual, the heat, dust, and location was very average but. I dont think I'd bother entering again if its in the same location as last year

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
