It's a shame it was on the same time as the Hillclimb, it would have been great to be there. Supersprints are a lot of fun and more affordable for some of us noobs.

This is what I was doing on Sunday

LOL at anyone wanting to run an open wheeler in a supersprint, I mean why would you? Competing with other open wheelers too hard or is this a gay NSW thing.

Do I detect 'sour grapes' ? Or is it 'mines bigger than yours', ooopps - can't be that - she's female !!!!

Yeah!!! You will love the supersprints, more time on the track than the hillclimbs, but not too much so there isn't a lot of wear & tear.

Round 3 is this Sunday at Wakefield. Lucky for me I can do some testing Saturday,,,Michele can't. :)

So the big question is if the weathers good,,,will I be able to beat the big tyred,,,more horsepowered Formula car or will I have to suffer 2nd again.

Sunday arvo will tell.

Good luck Michele. :(

CAMS NSW are idiots.....3 weeks ago the state circuit, supersprint and hillclimb champs were all on the same weekend

Thats more like it Neil :thumbsup::):) makes it a lot more fun when you can throw sh!t at each other. All this practice you're getting with a lot less weight than me... you should do pretty good, but I'll be trying hard to keep up/ahead of you. I haven't driven Wakie for a loooooong time, in fact, I think both you and Duncan were there at my last look at Wakie. Hopefully I will still do okay, even without all that practice :)

Now if I can talk Tim Edmondson into coming, he will kick both our butts. I think Erol said he's doing 64-65's at OPGP - Tim might come to EC

No clashes this time Duncan :woohoo: but you do have to wonder how CAMS NSW approve clashing state championships.

very interesting results, that little clubby is veeeeeeeeeery quick.

and you must be spewing to hit 1.04.0000 that is nasty. 1/10000 from 1.0 :P

amazing effort from Duncan in the R35 as well....yep that is 1.05 is a standard car, just some semi slicks on.

Neil had an average day.....1 second slower than the day before and some sort of electrical problem causing it to cut out leading to early retirement.

only 2 weeks until the next round I understand

I was still happy with my time, it was a PB for me at Wakie. I noticed the clubby is in type 5, but am unsure what changes he has made to make him type 5, surely it can't be slicks alone, because it said Leigh was winning the 'clubbies on slicks' class on the time sheets. Perhaps someone can explain the differences?

Yes, only two weeks to go and I've never been to EC before so expect to be :D but looking forward to running there. That's if I can keep my car together from IRACE for the two days before at OP *fingers crossed*

Have you looked at doing IRACE Duncan?

Congrats on the PB Michele, I have been looking into all different types of series that are out there at the moment and IRACE was one of them. You will love that series there is a fair few formula holdens and alike racing in their formula tasman class.

Thanks Ryan - I did IRACE at OP last year and it was fantastic - The other Formula cars are running some serious engines and pass me like I'm just there for the Sunday drive, but its still a LOT of fun and I won't miss it for anything. This is the only circuit series where I am allowed to run with my car. Apart from this, there is only supersprints and hillclimbs... all of which are fun, just not the same as door to door racing (if I had a door that is).

wow, not bad that a 1800kg road car, on semis and still standard is quicker than the radical, and only 1.5s of the formula car. pretty sharp pace. you will have to shake him up next time neil! I was in a radical the other day and they are bloody fast. garth was saying they do 1:30s or maybe 1:40s at phillip island. nuts.

woohoo I just found out I broke the class (5E) record yesterday at Wakefield Park - Neil do you have a copy of what the previous records were?

Yep I do have them somewhere,,,but you would have smashed it. From memory it was a clubby in the 6's. I'll have a look and post them up.

As Duncan said,,,my day was indeed average. After doing 1.04's saturday I screwed up all my quick laps or the car played up. No excuses though that how it goes sometimes. I knocked 2 seconds on my old best so I'm not tearing up.

I finally put the "Team Raceworx" sticker on the car,,,,could that be why she broke down???. Melinda wants it gone.

Thanks for grabing my beacon Michele,,,with the car breaking down I forgot all about it.

Richard,,,Duncan's R35 has more in it and he got held up on numerous occasions. I made the point of going and watching him. He did Nissan proud. :P:P:)

How do I join team raceworx? :(

I looked into this earlier, but the wacky joining criteria made it prohibitive.

1. You must have blown up at LEAST 3 RB26s.

2. You must have burnt off your fingerprints (goes to the whole Raceworx black ops thing they have going on in the background. Racing is just a front.)

3. You must at all times have burns, bruises and cuts from welding, slamming doors on fingers and angle grinder "incidents".

4. You must wear king-gee shorts and prance around backyards pretending to work.

5. General dress requirements: Welders gloves and mu-mus.

:(

yeah raceworx = too hard. I joined clutch fckers instead. all I had to do was give pete a 'hug', drink 10 pints in 1 sitting, chirp 2nd gear, talk like I am slightly retarded and put the sticker of 'penis man' on my car. easy. :(

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
