The EC Private Practise days are generally quite good. We have been going quite frequently.

Private Practise

Last time we were there they had 7 or 8, 20 minute sessions planned for L2S road car category.

On the Saturday 4th April I imagine the track time will be the same ie same amount of sessions, same duration but with more cars on the track at the one time.

I might go to this one as well. Who is planning to go?

I know prescott06/shinysilverdragon's 180SX is back up and running at 177rwkWs @ 14 psi, with a VERY linear curve. I think they will be there, but I don't think my car will outpace their's on the straight any more!

  • 2 weeks later...

So who is still going?

Weather forecast is... lol

18 / 23°C 90% chance for 1-5mm rain

I imagine Chubbs and Ando are out because they are going to Marulan the next day ;)

affirmative!!

Way too much motorsport on over the next few weeks... poor little failvia wont know what hit it... :D

Yeah unfort I wont be there :) Plus the mx5 will have no speed!

However, a few work mates will be there in another red mx5 so give them plenty of shit for me :)

My car isn't exactly speedy there either, takes a while to get to my peak 180-190km/h :P

Well Ando and Chubbs, looks like you are going to miss out on cake ;)

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
