As has been spoken of many times before, I think it is time to organise a proper day out at Mallala.

My suggestion is to go out Saturday November 15th. This is a public 'practice day' and there is 1 x 15 minute session for each vehicle class from 10am - 5pm. So you'd get to go out roughly 7 times for 10 or so laps. (And 15 minutes at a time is the most you'd want to be out there in one stretch). Cost is $70 each car (I believe nothing for spectators) and we can just rock up. I have chosen this date because it is unlikely to be rainy, and unlikely to be too hot. I have emailed Christine Kemp and she said no probs - we just have to have a full licence (no P or L plates), helmet and long sleeves. Pay the cash, sign the indemnity and we're off. No minimum numbers required.

Perhaps we could organise a bbq (hint hint Steve & Timmay) and make a decent day of it. It could of course include an after cruise and whatever anyone suggests. I know we have access to some G-Techs for measurement purposes too and we could have a little in-house competition.

What do you all think?

Bring it on Andrew!! I've been hanging out for this day, I spoke to the "other" guys about this and they were keen as too.

My only concern was cooking my engine but apparently I've got nothing to worry about (to an extent).

BBQ is an awesome idea, maybe we could use everyones brakepads after a few laps!! :):D

Nightcrawler, I've always want to do this.

It would be great fun getting everyone to come out.

I better hurry with my car mods.

It's might be a little bit rush but, my car may not be complete yet.

I betta hurry up...nothing like a little extra peers pressures

Bring it on, bring it on :P

maybe we'll have to push it back a couple of weeks. The last 3 practice days for the year are:

Saturday 29th November

Saturday 6th December

Saturday 13th December

but the longer we leave it, the greater chance of hot weather. If it's much over 30 degrees there is no way I am gonna race my car .... David had his R33 out there last year when it was about 25 degrees and it was boiling over the coolant (out of the overflow bottle) every time he stopped unless he warmed it down for 10+ minutes.

But I'm open to suggestions .....

[edit - damn I can't change the poll]

New the 540s in 16'' is $230, if you find the right people who race saloon cars and the like they will give away their old race tyres for next to nothing but like the ones MattR has they only have very minimal tread and are no longer as sticky as new ones, i scored a pair for nothing but when they have 30% tread and have not been used for a while they go off a bit.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
