12 hours of staring at a puta screen...

I finds lots of stuffs ;)

lol Yeah I've noticed. I watched the turtle thing the other day (or was that this morning :) ) and was like, what the? but then I watched this and it took it to a whole new level. ha ha

Wow, well an update;

That debriefing session was massive (4 hours)...

I thought I went alright based on how many cars I over took, however my time needs much improvement to get anywhere near the front...

I set the forth fastest lap of the day, but only did it once... I need to be more consistent to get up near the front...

Most of my laps were 3 or more seconds off the front runners, only pulled 2 laps close to the front runners consistent times...

I also torched the car pretty bad apparently, tires wreaked, steering arm bent, rev'ed the engine way too hard and was un-kind on the brakes...

Today shows me that racing is not all about smashing every bit of HP out but more about technique and driving lines...

As I said I have much to learn... Driving into those blind corners is scary, very scary actually...

All you see is a concrete wall and you know what the corn looks like on the other side but then there is 6 or 7 other cars around you...

Popping exhausts & skidding the wheels under brakes across the shiny surface...

Its hard work too, my arms, hips & neck are so sore... The experience is priceless and im loving it but its taken more than I expected...

Aussie race cars were described to me as a fast go-kart, im yet to put words together that describes it accurately...

PS> Having a ball tho :wub:

So how does a general smo ( i.e me ) get to have a crack at what your doing ?

With about 70k for a season...

Or get sponsorship and make someone else pay the 70k per season...

I got a ride at QR through a mate, they liked my lap times and were desperate for a driver for two rounds this season... My story i a bit different...

I will most likely never drive again after this weekend, it was more about right place right time for me...

The regular driver will be back next round to take his spot back... :wub:

That sounds so awesome. Any video footage? So this is proper door to door stuff right? Are the cars a step below V8 supercars or same regs n specs?

Scarnon mangs?

Windscreen chips getting fixed today. Indicator canceller is fixed and the rest of the S13 stuff might be in by this arvo :laugh:

They are a half scale car powered by a motorcycle engine and transmission (geared to the changes)...

Yes its door to door racing, more touch's than the utes most sessions...

Its tight and particularly scary in a concrete jungle...

It has become very popular with up to 40 cars on track at once, it costs a 1/10 what a supercar costs to own and run...

Here is video from clipsal 500 eariler in the year...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
