Hahaha. I think the only point where I made that much smoke the first run through the long wang. I saw the finish sign as I was doing about 80kph and didn't realize it was a flying finish, so I mashed the brakes and then the tires in the process.

Very cool photos though!

What a MASSIVE weekend it was.

Huge Thanks to all the volenteers and timers and everybody who helped out at all through the day, with out these ppl we would not be able to run these days.

Its always good to see new faces out there and of coarse the fimiliar ones too.

I thought the day ran really well after some early confussion.

Big appluse for Ryan bec and Crossy for there super human efforts as always.

On a personal side , weekend could have gone better having broken a driveshaft on testing on friday, then driving back to melb at like 6pm to fix the car , only to find the tailshaft was bend AGAIN!!! and that the gearbox is not happy either.

So we patched it up with what we had and loaded the car up again at about 11,30. and then drove all the way back to shep , hitting the sack about 3.30.

But hey .........thats racing

Thanks to all the photographers , expecially Big bird, you rock as always. will speak to you soon about buying some shots off you.

Looking forward to november ,

might put some decent rubber on and try to push the clock, NO promises tho.....

Cheers

Tim,

Jarrod, they're awesome. You even got heaps of my little carsy prior to stacking. I'm kinda sad looking at them. Oh well, can only make it look like that again :D

sorry to hear that you damaged it... where did you come off? I've had a few clenching moments at deca over the years but never hit anything

Long Wang bites again.

It was on the sweeper.

I don't mean to sound insensitive coz I know what it's like to smash a car on the track, but did anyone check if the pole was ok? If it was damaged I should contact Powercor coz they may want to inspect it.

I work for Powercor and they often find that poles fail after a car crash although this one wasn't big.

Probably not a problem, just asking.

were you running anti-clockwise? so the pole on the corner exit? clearly the cars fault, bloody fwd power understeer!

scariest deca moment for me was going over the hill on the mini wang backwards... too much throttle exiting the mini sweeper... fun times:)

Not cars fault, always driver's fault :(

Was only a small dink anyway, enough to spoil a day but nothing in terms of motorsport damage :)

I think that's what caught alot of people off guard Nick - the sharp turn straight after the hill on mini wang. Too much speed and you ended up snap oversteering or slamming on the brakes and going straight into the cones :P

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
