January: do every race I can at Oran Park before it closes. Right now that is Irace on 14-15/1 and the final meet on 23-24/1. And give Neil a hand at the last state supersprint on 16/1.

March - Bathurst Sprint, Lake Mountain Sprint

November - National Supersprint in Qld (I thought it was QR, but maybe Morgan Park?). And whatever else I can do when I'm up there.

And as many rounds of NSW combined touring as I can

Santa bought me a new toy, looking to do as much as i can with it this year without going interstate

Mick,,,seems you were a good boy last year,,,Santa has really looked after you. :D:D:D

Don't listen to the tin-tops,,,that thing is way cool. I swear before I'm too old to drive,,,my bums gonna be in a superkart,,,if only for a test. :banana:;):no:

Duncan,,,I booked the day off on friday for your irace,,,so you have me both days.

2010 plans for me are:-

1/ Get the Radical sorted properly

2/ Thrash the living shit out of it

3/ Do as many interstate stuff I can afford

4/ Start doing stuff in the Skyline,,,she's been wob-webbed for far too long

With the Tas Super Series starting 14th Feb and my car looking like this with no money to rebuild........

Im guessing Round 3 in May is my best bet at this stage. I was looking to improve the car, not repair it!!

Im also thinking of droping a 351 into an XE falcon for some club days and then.......maybe!

But I have no money to do either at the moment so this year is not looking good.

oh BTW my plans changed.

I killed my first motor for the year on the 16th day of it...new record.

At least I got to compete in the last race meet at Oran Park, and I set the fastest lap and was leading (until the motor blew lol)

Not sure if we'll be there or not. Would like to think so, as the roads around that area are fantastic and should suit the Evo 4 just nicely :thumbsup: and why arent we talking about it?!?!? :blush:

Other than that, will be at Targa for a crack at Rookie, a year on the dirt in the VCRS and the occasional trackday with the WRX club in Vic.

Tassie is still the shizz...just dont make eye contact with the locals.

Well done mate. Be proud.

I've got a perfectly good fully built low km long motor laying around if you are interested Dunc? I took my old motor out just before targa wrest point and put in a new one as we didnt have time to identify the problem (turns out it was just a cracked head so my old motor which had really just done Targa rookie and a couple of other little things is sitting around covered in plastic).

Oh - and I'm also planning to make High Country. I should hopefully have time back on my side by then!

If it turns out that way and you need a Nav, I know of a good lightweight one who would be available :thumbsup:

after that i'll run the running in the tas super series, and hopfully there will be some more invitational races

I just posted my hillclimb series registration.

And did a deal on a 180SX to transfer my gear into :D No more zip ties and tek screws! I guess the novelty factor of running a complet sh.tbox wore off...

well the first round of the hillclimb series is this weekend :D I only just got the new 180SX fired up for the first time on Saturday, and drove it for the first time yesterday, so I'll guess it will be another example of working till the wee hours of Friday night getting it ready. Its not exactly finished - ran out of time & money to get everything done, so to get it going in time for round 1 I had to swap back to the standard 4stud front hubs & brakes with borrowed wheels & tyres. Combine that with the suspension changes I made while swapping all the gear over from the old car and anything could happen this weekend! At least it will be out there to hopefully collect some points for the series. Looking forward to another run at Mt Cotton as I haven't been there since 2007 in the old Datto 1200.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      spot the stagea

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
