Hi guys

Was just looking on the Lakeside calendar and saw that there is a general practice day this Sunday (16th August)

http://www.qldraceways.com.au/main.php?menu=qri02

Just wondering if anybody is going to this?

Thanks

I'll be there :(, well, hopefully a few of us will be ;)

I'll be there :D , well, hopefully a few of us will be :)

is there an entry form for general practice or is it just rock up and have fun... also do they have timing equipment working on these days.

cheers

I couldn't find the entry form on the website for this particualr day so I just called the office on

1800 RACERS and she emailed it over to me.

I don't think there'll be timing.

I wouldn't leave entry til the day, I did that once and was turned away, full.

I want to see pics of this new wing! :down:

I backed to backed it Roy, first with GTR wing with Nismo lip, then another bootlid with the alloy wing.

It was given to me, and I had a spare bootlid, so I figured I'd try it...... I do hang my head when it's on there though :/

And this is the GTR it came in on mate.

haha, mates, as much as it really pains me to say it, I do think it will be quicker with it on.

Now, there was no official timing out there on Sunday, so I cannot say for sure, so I'm only judging by the seat of my pants. Keep in mind I also only had two flying laps before the gearbox popped.

1. I set the gurney flap to the most aggressive angle to try for the biggest change possible for the sake of actually feeling it.

2. It pulled 5th in around the same spot on the straight so it's not creating extra drag.

3. On every 3rd gear corner I felt like I could get the power down earlier. So, Caroussel, Hungry, and Eastern Loop, I reckon I was fully on the gas 10 to 15 metres earlier.

4. It was carrying more speed under Dunlop bridge (top of 4th gear), and it seemed a little less nervous in the bum.

5. It seemed a little less prone to understeer in the fast corner entering the straight.

6. It broke 3rd gear exiting Hungry, maybe the extra grip was the straw that broke the camel's back?

If I really am able to get the power down that much sooner, it's gotta be worth some time...... DAMMIT! lol

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • 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.
