The EVO split the plenum where the idle control stepper motor bolts on.

bummer :banana: the car was super quick all day. and in fact all the cars seemed to be pretty reliable with no big stacks and no big blow ups which was nice to see. a few little dramas but nothing that caused any oil downs etc.

+1 Jase!

Gregs S15 is always good to watch when he's hard up it for the rent. That was the first time he's turned the turbo up to anything past 1bar and blew a headgasket

Vi-PEC wins Superlap !!!

Well done Insight Motorsport on taking out the Superlap Event.

Scott Kuhner has prepared, engineered and tuned the car and runs a V88 ecu and uses E85 fuel.

Scotty did plenty of hours on the car up to the event and did plenty of overnight 5am sessions on it to get it ready.

top stuff guys.

They also took out clubsprint event in the evo9 which uses a Vi-PEC pnp ecu and uses E85.

AND Federal 595RS-R tyres Paul :banana:

Ahhh... good to hear that it's only a minor problem.

Everyone was a little shocked, we were all hoping to see 1:11s from the car in the balls-out flying lap :banana:

Congrats to all the competitors and winners!

I was there on the Saturday (Black S13 with GT wing) but couldnt make it on the Sunday unfortunately.

Not many cars were there on the Saturday but still more than enough to drool over!

Notice the natsoft times dont show all competitors - there were 2 nice R32 GTR's at the practise but arent showing any times on natsoft. Anyone know what happened to them and what they ran?

Adz picked it. the track was definitely slower than last year. :D maybe 1 to 2 seconds off. possibly due to lots of rain during the week and no big events with cars on slicks running for a bit. when I was driving on saturday the track felt very green.

which just goes to show how fast the evo with garth driving is. he still bagged a flat 12 which is stupid fast! well done to those guys.

mark and russ were happy. a 13.6 on the cars first outing was great, and that was with no front drive. the car was toasting the rear tyres for most of the track. apart from that the car ran faultlessly all day. :ninja:

haha, it looks like a drift car!

I wonder if the front drive problem is the same issue they had with the 33 gtr at the Bathurst sprint.

Didnt the BSM cars go through a similar spate of problems a while back?

Regardless it sounds like this car is going to be a total time attack weapon when they get power to all 4.

Big showing for Vi-PEC in its 1st serious event...maybe they can now be considered as a REAL alternative to MoTeC...as they removed the MoTeC that Garth used to run and fitted the Vi-PEC with a marked improvement in the running of the engine.

Considered an alternative to the best ecu in the world,,,settle down tiger.

More like it was Garth's great driving than an ecu change.

I think I know what I'm talking about and Garth was screaming through T1 and up to T2,,,way faster and smoother than anybody else. When you can get off the throttle and get back on it between T1 and T2 says a lot for your driving and car setup.

I think his quick times had more to do with a well sorted suspension and the driver extracting the best from it.

Anyone know if the black R32 GTSt from Vic got through the day with no dramas? Hope Russ Jr went well in the little GTSt.

Good times!

I had so much fun. I really under-estimated the track though. It is such a drivers track and suspension is super important and revealed some big weaknesses in my setup. If only I knew a few weeks ago I would have come up for the sat as well. I would have made a world of difference knowing the track. My only practice is on V8 supercars on xbox haha. And they handle better on xbox.

Ending up with a 1:24:3 is good enough for me for first time out. I started on high 1:26s so came down nearly 3 secs.

Quality of cars was outstanding. Blew me away and plenty of inspiration for the lower budget competitors. I hope that superlap continues to do these events. I spoke to the Yokohama guys and they seemed keen enough to continue if they get support. I was plugging a Sandown superlap to the sponsors and organisers the whole time I was there!!! :down:

Oh yeah... and I officiall got the best prize even if I wasn't that fast! Advan RS wheels from the raffle haha! I spent a lot of money (for my budget) getting to superlap so it was incredible to get something back.

      Could you have not cut off the OEM flange, weld on a larger flange for DBW?

      Maybe of interest, a little while ago I spoke to one of the guys from Rajab Racing Developments and he hinted to me they could be developing a new cast exhaust manifold. Incidentally, they have already made one for the barra and it looks functional

      So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.

      SAUNSW Pizza Run - Talotta's Pizzeria - Saturday 27th July 2024

      By sammi_d · Posted

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one... So you've asked, and now we're delivering! Since your tastebuds are tingling, feast your eyes on the event details: Date: Saturday 27th July 2024 Meet Location: Parking Lot - 1 Parkview Dr, Sydney Olympic Park Meet Time: Meet at 5.30pm for a 6.00pm departure Destination: Talotta's Pizzeria, 1-3 Bridges St, Kurnell Map: https://tinyurl.com/saunsw-talottas  We'll meet at the carpark on the corner of Parkview Drive and Australia Avenue in Sydney Olympic Park. When we leave the parking lot, we'll head down Australia Ave, and turn right onto Homebush Bay Drive at the large roundabout near DFO. As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
