Hey guys,

Some AWESOME news!

Ive worked my magic with our insurance company, long story short the costs for this event have been reduced.

What does that mean for you?

The Texi entry fee has been changed, by more than HALF! Thats right, HALF!

The day now is $40 per driver

So you've got to ask yourself; How can you go wrong for $40???

Is your entry form in yet?.........If not - enter, NOW!

Form attached and general event thread is linked below

Cheers

-Steve

Borrow a car from your parents/sister/brother/best mate/girlfriend or whoever!!! This is the kind of event where you DON'T need to have heaps of power to get around the course quickly, as it's all about being able to maneouvre around the cones as efficiently as possible. But more than that, just get out there and HAVE SOME FUN!

In.

Andy also said I can use his 33 for one run :banana: but im affraid that will bring back memories...

:banana: Now thats more like it!!!

Come on kiddies, dont be shy this event is going to be pure awesomeness x11ty!!!

If you arent book in then :banana:

DO IT!! :)

This is the kind of event that you'd bring along your vid-cam to! :)

If you don't have one, get a loan of one! :yes:

The footage alone is worth more than the 40 bucks! :yes:

Ever seen an advertising billboard goin' sideways across your front windscreen? :D

And if your handycam isn't fixed to your car, it'd be worth having a trusty SAUer (or shotgun) film you doin' it :D

Extinguishers!!!!!!

answer me!

Needs to be installed and not loose..... some options are to use a pre existing bolt point, or remove passanger seat and use some mounting points from that...

does it have to be bolted?

Like I can cable tie it yeah?

Bolted = Yes

Cable Tied = I'll let an official organiser / scrutineer answer that.

Any motorsport i partake in, cable ties wouldnt suffice.

edit - I read the entry form

whats the go with extinguisher? I dont really want to drill holes in the golf to mount.

Come on Jase you've been around long enough to know :D

Must be secured, if the scruitineer gives it a shake and it moves you're not going to pass. Also the extinguisher has to easily accessible from the drivers seat, so if you "were" to do the cable ties you'll have to use a shitload of them and make sure none of them interfere with the extinguisher coming out in a hurry. In saying that though, I wont accept cable ties on the day and scruitineers will be told the same.

I know a car like your wont have a problem/need for the extinguisher, but insurance is a PITA and we have to do what they say :D

The best way to do it is like this (i dont want to drill in the supra so ive done this using the existing bolts);

Yeah I do know, but I wanted to know the scruitineers/your opinion on how it should be attached......in non permanent ways as opposed to someone who wants to have it permanent or didnt mind making holes.

Thats the answer I was after.

I'll have a look into how hard that will be. because I really dont wanna be drilling holes and shit.

I'll give it a go.

Good stuff :P

Note in my setup there's no perm holes, the screws into the wood dont go through the wood to the carpet, once i dont need it i just undo the bolts on the seat rails, slide the brakets out then put the seat rail bolts back in - no one will ever know

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
