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 !!!!

I really should enter the state rounds as well as the interclub series!

I beleive you should Chris,,,the mx5 would have loved sunday and SAU could also move up the field,,,I would love to see us at the TOP. If we had Michele,,,you,,,Brian,,,Duncan1,,,me and drag Ando along we would do very well.

Neil.

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. :(

Neil.

uh-oh the sh1t talking's starting *before* the round this time.

no hillclimb round clash this time Michelle?

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:)

Neil.

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. :(

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
