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

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
