Ryan,

try these

Ando Chris and I are staying here

http://www.bathurstexplorersmotel.com/

Oh Ryan - PLEASE have ext gate for conrod!! haha

I will book there too then, let me know when you book.

I dont know if they will let me have the ext gate? it might be too loud? i took the car out yesterday and it sounds so shit now without it, and i don't really know when to change gears now. :O I am trying to sort out my CAI and front brake cooling this weekend and i am over it already. I am searching for ideas.

Did you get your harness sorted out?

Guys don't leave helmets etc in cars at night, take them into your room. Had someone tell me their car was smashed into and lost all their helmets, suits etc while they were there.

Before I bought the enclosed trailer, I was still carting my car around on the back of a truck & took daughter to movies there in the middle of the day and didn't even make the walk to the theatre before turning back to find my open wheeler covered in 10-15yo kids. Made me noiiivous.

Ryan - nah havent sorted out the harness. I'll leave it for bathurst.

Oh, we have booked!

so book book book haha

Michele - Always do already!

got a confirming email for supersprint on saturday ..... :P

thanks aza for giving me an idea ..... so i'll send the entry form for hillclimb tomorrow

and i will ba a turtle climbing up hill on sunday ...... LOL

Well i will be the whale coming down on Sat lol.

i was just wondering if any one new if there was any spots left eighter the hill climb or the super sprint

i cant get hold of the bathurst light car club and i was wondering if should waist my time sending of my sending of my entry

thanks tim

Tim,

Best bet would be to get a phone number off the sup regs, and give them a call tomorrow :banana:

Christine Wells is them one to speak with :)

ok thanks i was calling the number of the site ill tyr the sup reg for a different number

ive started filling in the form but i dont no if my car is a

type 3 over 3lt

or a sv over 3lt which class do youse run

and does any one no how big the fire extinguisher has to be ive got a 1 kg in my car at the moment is that big enough

thanks tim

only locally delivered cars are eligible for class 3 so unless its a 32 gtr you are in SV (from your profile looks like 33 gtr?)

capacity for gtr is 2.6 x 1.7 for turbos = 4.42l

hmm that is a tricky question.

we are 100% in on 2 small conditions

1/ the car is running

2/ there is a spare spot available by then.

I long ago gave up entering events hoping the car will be ready :banana:

Engine is finally getting sealed on Wednesday night, it has taken ages because the rules have changed, we even need to get the cams measured, placed in a sealed bag and picked up by the engine sealer. and head cc-ed. and deck and head height measured. all in addition to the old inspection and bore and stroke measurement.

anyway, motor back in the car next weekend. Then run in, tune and a big wheel alignment (all bushes changed since it was last run). As long as all that is done before the event sells out we will be there with bells on.

And if we do make it, it will be the first event running more than stock boost (12psi), we have finally been allowed to run a boost controller to ensure it stays to 12 psi for race events. Which means we can dial in some proper boost for this (say, 36psi?) or maybe just 18-20 lol

thanks for the help duncan

i just have one more question are you aloud to run semi slicks or do you have to run road tyres

You can run whatever you choose i beileve. Evil Weevil is running street/semis RT615;s, I am running full semi RE55's and I think VZSS is running full slicks or streets.

But this said it has been discussed which way is best to go. Reason being, a semi slick may not get upto temp/pressure in the 'lead up' and actual sprint. Unlike time attack on an actual race track, you dont get a couple of laps to get temp into the tyres.

Depending on how much temp you get into the semis it could be better to go a street version IE RT615's. I am going RE55's cause i dont want to go buy a set of street semis just for this event..... SSOOOOO in short, up to you and what you feel comfortable on... :banana:

yeah you only have about 1min to get everything up to temp. they at least let you do a ful sik burnout to warm the rears but it still wont be enough for medium or hard semis.

i'll be running yoko a048rs too so they might be warm by the end of each run. even cold i think they are better than street tyres, just run a few psi more than normal.

tyres will affect which class you are in 2(road)/3(semis)/4(slicks) if you are not in SV.

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
