I was keen, until a certain manual conversion popped up... looks like ill be busy with that so probably wont make it out this month.

:banana:

luke, you end up getting your wheel fixed form last prac?

At this stage i'll be doing the Modern Reg', although i'm only 85% as i have an exam on the 30th and one on the 1st. There are a few things that i have to do on my car so if i get a chance to spend a day on the car while studying for the exams then i'll be out there. After all i'm leading the Champ' at the moment, can't let that slip away.

If your looking at setting some good times i would suggest doing the modern reg as you there are two groups and the grids are staged so there is a quicker car in front and a slower car behind so most of the time you get an uninterupted run, where as with the track day's....well you saw the video's. If you are a member of a CAMS affiliated club and CAMS then it's only $115

Do you need a Level 2S license for Modern Regularity, or can you get a 1day license for the event (and will it still be $25) ?

Yep you need a L2S (Speed) licence for modern reg and most other CAMS events, the $25 day licence is the L2NS (No Speed) licence. You can still get a day licence for the L2S but it's $45; the good thing it that that $45 comes of your full L2S licence if you pay the other $45 within a month (the full L2S licence is $90).

If you seriuos about cutting some quick laps then events like modern reg and super sprints if you have a quick car are the only way to go. General track days are alright for learning your vechiele and learning to drive fast using correct lines but there are too many moving obstruction if your serious about track time.

Nah not fixed but this should be the last one till i get some other wheels for it. Not sure if i'll do modern reg now or not. hmm

im goin to come for a look

if anyone needs a tow let me know

I might take you up on that offer, I'm gonna try head out to the Modern Reg if anyone else is going, timed laps FTW!! or i'll just go prac day.

Would you get more track time at modern reg or the practice day before?

You get about the same amount of track time at both, I prefer the mod reg as your timed and get a print out of everyone's times after each session. You also get put out on the track in order of the times set in the first practice session. Last time i went out i was doing about 5 laps a session (I think thats how many laps per session) and never court up to the person in front and never got overtaken. So much better than a track day :) You cant just rock up on the day though, entries must be in by a certain time before the event.

Hopefully if I get these Nismo braided lines on (and brake system bleed and replaced with rbf600), front brake air deflectors put on, ruzic engineering 4wd controller wired up and trans fluid switched to redline lightweight shockproof. If I get all this done, I'll definitely be there for Modern Reg.

Reckon im gonna just do the praccy and also head out to watch the modern comp. Depends if my gearbox holds, as it is crunching 3-4th at high rpm :)

Mine does the exact same crunch changing from 3rd to 4th at peakpower, delay the shift for a second longer and mine doesn't crunch.

ill proba head out to which ever is cranking the most out of sau boys... not entering in any events at this stage due to financial issues but got the whole weekend off

mine does the same. either delay the shift, or double clutch. problem solved without having to buy a new box.

    • 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.
