I dont get it. Newcastle is still in NSW so everyone knows that NSW GTRs are the country's slowest :D

What about twoogle isnt it the fastest lowmount GTR in the world & yes it lives in Newy home of the drinkers.

We dont believe in brake upgrades up here...not like the family size pizza trays i spotted last time i was in Mexico.

note to self: put dirt garage & John in the same garage and take bets on who wins :happy:

GTR Jason still has not entered and its getting rather close to the day!

I just spoke to GT Jason re his entry, I think he is weighing up the competition before he swoops in and takes the prize. Bit of posture I think.

Dirtgarge we know the motor is strong in that GTR, lots more in it though to get it sorted in such a short time and I will buy you a bottle of Jack D stuff if it beats my zeds time, as long as it runs ok.

Well look after it John...the head mods seem good as the torque is nice and high, but a little bit less of a spread than twoogs 5000 vs 3500. As long as it doesnt burn the sump dry should be ok. Case of V your way?

When the flag drops the bullshit stops....

Actually , the real BS starts once the lap times blow out :happy:

Is it? I am pretty sure my GTSt is the fastest TD06 powered RB20 in the world. Sif drag racing counts :ermm:

Sif drag racing counts :happy:

yeah as if that would count...its only the fastest and quickest form of motorsport in this country.

drag racers can't drive...here's the proof...

if people think this is bullshit the stories after the event are going to be super!

i suppose thats why they call it Supercrap...i mean Superlap!

Light goes green and sticky tyres and heavy right foot do all the work. Your point ? :dry:

Fastest and quickest form of motorsport? How is fast different to quick? I guess acceleration and top speed? So be a big help at circuit, but there is still lots of work to do in braking, handling, steering, cooling, tyre use/wear. But you know this, so dont get upset when i say a drag car is pretty irrelevant for circuit competition :(

What does a drag car have to do with a track car? Its like if people were sitting around talking about tennis and saying "watch out man, that guy with his squash racket is coming over and going to whip the tennis players". Both sports require different equipment and different skills. So, both sports but very different...so sif drag cars count. :)

And ony the other page you said you were not entering the drag GTR, and none of its drivers are entered to punt it. So you have a sister GTR which is a track car and beign punted by a circuit guy. Your actions prove you know i am right , otherwise you would enter Twoogle and you or one of the drag fraternity would drive it :(

oh yea after the even there is a bbq at otomoto ( cambeltown)

were getting loose!

Right, I was going to enter this piss up, but in the spirit of the event I am looking for someone to represent my business there.

Currently the short list is:

Pete - for falling off the balcony drunk onto a lancia at dutton rally

Richard and Roy for their efforts representing SAU NSW, particularly at the F1 in Melbourne

Kel - for the poker machine incident

Neil - for making me stop 6 times on the way home from wakie the night the trailer lost a wheel

Michelle - for drinking an unnamed SAU admin under the table

While this is the short list, I am willing to take further nominations to prove my business's brilliance. To that end I will accept further nominations via this thread prior to a test day at the thursday prior to Superlap at Sydney City RSL.

The best drinker on the day will represent Raceworx at the after event piss up.

You really do take yourself too seriously Troy...or is it me you take too seriously?

BTW quick is time based and fast is speed based...easy :thumbsup:

To prove a point our circuit car is wearing ALL the drag cars suspension, has a laggier turbo, makes less power and torque, has more weight and has a more flex in the chassis (no cage) so if it goes quick...it will make the drag car look even quicker. We were going to race the drag car but the deal on the supply of brakes we made with you was not fufilled.

mate, I am honoured just to be considered amongst such esteemed company, and to further add to my CV (and troys I guess too) we have both put in some stellar performances at the sydney city RSL, and I have represented my country several times with serious drinking in japan.

fingers crossed I get the call up. :P

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
