Uber awesome way to entice people to give this entry level motorsport a go, then to shoot people down for querying regs...... :angry:

I believe in corrective criticisim but that 'frustrated outburst' was just a little uncalled for. I know you mean well but not all will see your posts as positive. Remember Brad, not all 'entrants' are in luxurious position of having the funds/mechanical knowledge to run and build mulitple cars with a 'carefree attitude'. Believe me i wish i had your knowledge, but ke sera sera, if i have a incident, i purely have to hand the car and money over to someone to fix it.

I for one appreciate what your trying to say but dude, it's just not exactly the perfect persona to lay down to 'new comers'.

Anywho... i will be out there giving it a go, and i will certainly be concerned about my car, but that wont stop me having fun and giving it a go.

Guys..I am here to help so if there is anything you are unsure of just send me a pm or post in here! I dont mind any questions you have just ask me :P

It's takes a bit of time and money to get your car ready for the next step of "racing"!!!

For all of you that are thinking of giving this a go WELL DONE! :)

Once you have all the gear it's smoother sailing and jump in and race!

OMG like 5 days to go till MRA!! :P

Cant wait till I get my car will be out there with you guys instead of the tower!

Thats my plan troy!

Going to use some softies to qualify on and then change over to the regular slicks for the racing.

Cant use the softs all the time as they tend to trash front diffs and only last 3 laps anyways. But they are good for a solid 1.5seconds per lap

most "entry level motorsport" guys don't want to race with heros who are "willing to bin it" in passing manouvers or who "will go under you into any turn" without regard for panel damage or its cost.

I'd be giving people like you a very wide berth, even in my shitbox S13. Not because I'm terribly precious about it, but to avoid uneccesary repair bills and effort. if there's light damage from both drivers arguing over a corner, fair enough. But a bloke who going to throw it down the inside in any turn "if you're in my way" should probably stick to the playstation.

At the end of the day Harry it's all just talk in here :)

When you hit the track the nerves set in and you start to concentrate..All the boys that race in MRA all think the same way as you posted above! Dont want uneccasary repairs bills but there is still some great battles for position..Its rare that rubbing happens..

Ill be there (spectating :[ ), Ill be sure to look you guys up :D

You better come up to the control box and say hello...Pretty sure I will be the only girl on Comms so cant miss me LOL!

What time are heading out there??

well after a day at oran park today In TRUE GTR fassion we have just finished pulling the cylinder head off.

It decided to overheat today and has warped the head accross number 3 and 4

Ill be down at the shop first thing, deck it and throw it all back together by lunch time.

The car managed to spit out a few 46.5's around south in the afternoon

It's just an old 4 cylinder turbo Volvo motor, 8 valve single OHC. But you should see the size of the hair dryer hanging off the side of the thing. I tell you what, it had us worried :P

Nicest guy driving it too. Came all the way up from Victoria. It was his first drive at Wakefield and only the cars second outing.

fark he did well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cant call him a typical volvo driver then hey!! haha

Now, theres the next round at OP GP within a month or two correct??

I SO have to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I managed a 1.27.8 in my 2nd session today at OP GP, no updated times though :P

Poor Ando had some issues well before he got to the track :happy:

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
