There are a bunch of Nissans and EVO's there making up heaps of the numbers. I will get a running list sorted soon. Looks set to be a good day. Afternoon is about full. Still some space in the AM session.

Hey wrxkilla!

+1

have never met you and didn't even come and introduce myself but your car is very sexy

hope whatever happened isnt a big (time & money wise) problem

ps. thanks for a great day Paul - was awesome despite the wetness

i think mick just split a silicon join on one of his intercooler pipes.. not a biggy, but stopped him from running (sadface). Good to meet a few of you yesterda (Zennon, Mick). I see a long learning process ahead for me. Maybe its time to head out to the go-karts for some practice on raceing lines :(

lol

yeah mine split come silicon cooler pipe. Sorry wasnt feeling sociable, was upset ans sulkin in self pity... lol :P

Was pretty gutted as I was desperate to have a full run in the dry. Some impressive cars.

Will upload my shite pics in about 5 mins...

:D

The afternoon dired out and was not too bad. Good pics Mick, can you email me them so I can use some on the website. Thanks.

The rounds 1 points are up on the time attack website now. Congrats to the guys who did well.

Time to start thinking about round 2 on Feb 24.

Heya Paul! Yeah it's been quite a while mate....I'm good...how bout ya and mikey? I've gone from twinturbo to vtec now with the s2000 2.2L and have been doing trackdays at the Sepang International Circuit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It's an awesome 5.5km track and being a F1 venue, upkeep of track condition is very good. Planning to take part in timeattack events there this year and hopefully place in the top 3 for the relevant class....wun be easy with lotsa competitively built cars and drivers with lots of experience on Sepang. Been trying to get sponsors too. F1 - 1min30++s, Super GT - 1min50++s, Porsche RSR Cup - 2min10s, Fully lightened 500bhp HKS Evo - 2min16s, J's Racing Taikyu S2000 - 2min24s.......all on slicks. All freaking fast. My personal best now is 2min37s, stock engine, stock drivetrain, semislicks...with the usual bolt-ons, intake, headers, exhaust, suspension and a tuned Hondata K-Pro ecu. Hoping to clock down the fastest street NA/s2000 timing by this yearend. :/

I miss timeattacks @ QR with u guys!!! I see my timing drop further and further down the Timeattack hall of fame charts, saddening but that means everyone is getting faster, which is awesome! I wished I had more trackdays @ QR to put down faster lap times~

Currently working in Singapore dealing with forex and derivatives...been quite happy with the job, had about 4-5 business trips to Japan last year as I mainly deal more closely with our Japanese clients. Still planning to make a trip back to Brissy sometime to meet with everyone and have dinner etc. Couple of slidewize skidpan sessions and timeattack rides @ QR would be awesome! :)

    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
    • No ABS, no TCS, no airbags, no cruise control, no lane departure assist, no emergency brake assist, no orange lights in the mirrors (continuously annoying me in multi-lane traffic), no stupid rear view camera. I am the one responsible for where my car goes and how it does it.
    • Cheapest Jaycar one is only $65.
    • Probably best way would be using a proper dB / SPL meter lol Buy one and ship it from state to state to have a consistent test device lololol
