A few of us tried to get a team put together last year for this event but after many broken cars and other hassles it didnt happen.

Im planning to enter again this year now we have a GTR thats reliable and can go the distance.

So who has a car thats prepared, racable and should go the distance??

I can get 6 cars with ease but would like to try and get a group of skylines together instead of a mixed bag to begin with.

Im prepared to let my car do a triple session, if we cant get the drivers/cars. Myself and Jay will be driving the GTR and may open it up to someone else if need be.

We're not really after ball tearing cars that can lap faster than anyone else. We'd like reliable consistant cars with drivers that can handle a 20min session and be consistant.

Thats what it takes to win the event not outright pace.....

Dont want to leave this till last minute like we did last year

So if anyone is interested say so.

Late november from memory mate.

Your one of the guys id let steer the GTR if yours was not in a good way so if your keen we can work around the car issue closer to the date.

I know my GTR could do atleast half the race without a problem besides tires.

As for times I think anything that can lap around the 10's for 20 mins solid is good enough. The key to these events is consistantcy. So no use showing up if you can spit out a 5 and then not maintain it for 20mins and behond.

Cars require a AASA log book which is piss poor. and a cage.

yeah my car will be fine to run 1.10s for 20min. Or an hour if need be. cant go better than an 8 in qualifing but I don't think that wil be an issue

would be great to see an sau team in.

only thing for me is timing is a bit iffy, I am booked for mt buller 1st weekend dec so hopefully this isnt the weekend before (then again they are both aasa so at least i can get a good run on proper boost :thumbsup:

pete...it would be a hell of a first race for your car. pretty tight to finish it by then realistically tho

Yep your on the money Duncan.

I agree an hour should be no problem at all but if we can get enough entrants it brings the entry fee down and the potential for damage down as well.

I know my car can do 6's for 20mins solid. Its consistant within 1/2 second depending on traffic and my concertration. So I figured if I knock it down a peg and run around in the 10's all day it should be perfectly healthy should any other cars have to drop out.

So Pete, myself, jay and possibly Duncan are looking good.

sounds like good fun

my best at wakie is a 1:11 in a close to shtocker r33 gts-t (semis helped- i have more excuses if needed :thumbsup: )

havent done a lap in anger in something quick in some time :)

but i am consistent - interesting in running if there is a spot for slowish but consistent?

Kel's in so now we got a team!

we nominate a lap time for each driver so it doesnt matter if the cars are all of a different pace.

It works along the same lines as the eastern creek 6 hour. they calculate how many theoretical laps the team should be able to do. but if you drop under your nominated lap time that lap does not get added to the lap count. Pretty sure thats how they still work it.

mmmmmmm i am no were near 10s mate but i have not driven on proper semis there yet, i did run a few 1.11's on RT615's last trip down there. I don't know how i will go for 20 mins tho but i will put my self down for a slow maybe option if i can get the car down there before hand and see how is it going after it has been apart.

But i am willing to lend a hand closer to the date with towing and prep work if needed mate.

i think someone who can steer could get my car down into the 10s, it would be nice to get some feedback from someone with experience also. if your short a car let me know Duncan, ill have to re-mount seat for you but was going to do that anyway.

Just have to organise logbook.

300 is about 130 laps right? pretty sure the 500 I did was about 200 laps. So about 2.5 hours

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
