OK we are almost there, the NSW season is starting in 2 weeks at Eastern Creek.

As usual 2 weeks before the season everything looks great for me, only a few minor issues to get sorted before I hit the track. I might even get to practice on the Friday before this time!

At this stage I just need to:

Rescue the car from the wheel aligner (its such a broad minded person. it has slept in sooooo many garages)

Finish wiring in the data logger

Fix the incar camera setup (POV1, it looks excellent)

Buy a set of tyres (yes a different control tyre means I need yet another new set)

Main changes to my car from last year:

Car is running

Brand new n1 block, new crank etc

Full size zorst (dropped the old 70mm standard one)

Cam gears in and tuned

Proper wheel align including corner weighting, and adjustable bushes all round.

Bigger front brakes (still standard size discs)

A few more kw due to a more detailed tune. and it comes on boost sooner thank god.

Dates for the rest of the year:

nsw circuit state champs

round 1 eastern creek 21-22/3

round 2 wakefield park 18-19/4

round 3 oran park 30-31/5

round 4 eastern creek 4-5/7

round 5 wakefield park 12-13/9

round 6 oran park 31/10-1/11

other races

day night race 1/8

oran park enduro 26-27/9

Who else is in this year?

Dave I heard you are bringing out the IPRA starlet this year because you don't want to embaress all the other sports sedans?

Bozman are you watching or has someone offered you a car to drive :)

Did someone buy the BSM IPRA GTR?

What about Brad the dark horse....are you ready to debut at state level?

Anyone else lurking out there I should know about???

ill be aiming to spectate for the first round and the other rounds in sydney.

want to ease into it and check it out, will try see if i can actually give it a go next year, just need to finish up uni this year.

Duncan, what tyres do you have to get, and what one season old set do you now have to use as practice tyres?

You'd be suprised how much time i have on my hands, and knowing how busy you are - i can help getting it from the alignment place to your place if needed.

Duncan I wont be out at the first round, we have a private day at wakefield on the saturday which Ill attend, but I will be doing a fair few selected rounds during the year. Including a meeting at Bathurst over Easter with some luck..

Got my eyes set on Oran park. I have a few little things to get the car up to scratch yet.

I also want to have a crack at a couple of Super TT rounds as well.

Ill be there on Sunday to check on Rambow's combined touring car and a few others Ive been helping out over the off season. Alot of the saloon car guys have sold there falcodores and not replaced them as yet!!

Old Guss (combined touring tech) has bought himself a weapon commodore but I dont think he'll be out first round either.

IPRA should be good this year.

Lofty in the starlet if he runs it

Loscialpo's VY is really quick.

Bucton's dunnydore is pretty quick too from what Ive seen at oran park.

Not to mention all the rotors that are always good to watch

Last I spoke to John (bout an hour ago) he was doing other things this year and wont have much spare time to do anything!

And I beleive the old IPRA car still has "Boston" on the quarter windows and is sleeping. So tempting to buy it still......

I wont be missing the day nighter for anything this year and hopefully the same for a few enduros latter in the year.

  • 2 weeks later...

sorry been busy trying to get things sorted for the weekend....I am close but not there yet.

Got the new control tyres on (Kumho v70a), $150ea cheaper than the old crappo-hamas and should be a second or 2 quicker too. they run very high recommended pressures compared to the yokos/dunlops/bridgestones which is interesting

I still haven't got the car finsihed (cleaning up wiring) but it will be ready to run one way or the other. And I've taken the day off on Friday because it hasn't done a single bloody lap in 6 months. I need to make sure both it and I remember what to do.

the entry list for combined touring looks OK, 25 cars (15 commodores lol) but at least Karl is bringing out his GTR as well, and Jim Stewart is bringing a wrx to keep the other 4wds honest.

Dave I see you guys are entered, I hope things go better for you guys this year. I loved racing on a combined grid with the sports sedans last year. I can take 2x 2wd production cars off the start normally, but I went past 4 sports sedans that day :banana: Can't wait to see you have fun with them, hell of a track to have a first shot at the other guys though.

Very poor grid in some of the categories including improved production - numbers in a lot of categories are a fair way down this year, with the exception of sports cars which are through the roof 6 bloody radicals and a whole bunch of other new cars.

sorry I'm a bit slow Chris. It's the NSW State champs and includes most CAMS categories (yes except Formula Holden which has been banned). You would fit into Prod Sports there are a heap of mx5s in it with their own class.

GOod news for once.....both GTRs are running at the end of a day! First time ever :P

Mine ran well, and has enough poke to keep even the 300kw Commodores honest which is good considering mine is running 12psi and has a pop-off valve to enforce max boost. The BSM GTR was still going too but I didn't really catch up with Dave about it...except to get the impression he wants more go (don't we all lol)

Anyway, qualifiying and race 1 tomorrow, race 2 and 3 on sunday. Hot weekend just like today so I was happy the little tubros could keep up.

hey duncan

sorry didnt get back up to see you, will do tomorrow. yahoo our car running fine just on low boost today. the track was a bit crappy but we still were doing 1.39.0 on 12 months old worn out slicks. we changed cambers and other stuff late afternoon and new tyres for tmorrow should help.

dave

BSM GTR :P

I went home happy today that both GTR's got through practice.

I have no major work to do which puts a smile on my dial.

Nice little scare there Dave with 2 sporty's spinning in front of you at 8,,,well avoided tiger.

Lets all hope that the boys have a great weekend,,,.

But can someone turn the temps down,,,I lost kilo's today.

Neil.

Kel posting using Duncan's lappy here (go wireless technology!)

For those who are interested... D qualified well - 6th (.8 of a sec off first) which is not a bad result given he blew a fuse and lost the boost controller after a few laps! Neil did the quickest pit lane fuse change ever.

Should be an interesting race one, hoping for the rain from this morning to make a reappearance.

Yeah mate the mighty GTR smashed the commodores. Started 6th, 2nd by turn 2, leading by lap 2, fastest lap. And that includes 300kw cars up against my poor old 206kw skyline

But then I noticed we had a little heat issue and had to back off a bit. ie water temp hit 113o.....so I limped home in 5th.

John at UAS stayed open late to sort out some redline water wetter and distilled water. If it works the car is fast enough to win tomorrow.

Dave in the BSM car also did very well this arvo, they came home 4th in sports sedans with 3x 6l chev space frame cars in front of them. Can't wait to see how it goes once it is sorted.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
