oh

my god

soooooo burnt.

THIS WAS THE BEST DAY EVER.

Seriously guys, I can't say how much this day has meant to me, and I think everyone. These are the days that make being an enthusiast even more worthwhile. Fantastic day (although I'm still grumbling about the hardcore battle one, I got lost), great to put faces to names, and all round awesome to rip skids legally :P

Congratulations on another successful SAU day........second time the weather has tried it on but we pushed through it......but if you told me this morning that i would come back sunburnt this arvo i would have laughed.

I would like to mention what a fantastic group of people this club has and even as a spectator/helper today i still had a great time due to the great people around.

also want to mention that we have some very talented drivers, one of whom i was lucky enough to have a skid with today, and they are great people out of the car.

Bring on the next event.......hopefully one i can compete in lol.

PS Chevys rule.....

What fantastic day, thanks to the organisers!

one of the funniest photos i got was of my car sandwiched between these other two-

The GTR must have been saying, "cheer up little bro, you can go in the next one"

Other than that, i have photos of Camaro's going absolutely nowhere in the wet... but making the day an impression that will last.

Epic freaking super dooper awesome day!!!!!!!!

My first run, missed a whole loop of the map, second run clear but dam messy, third run getting the hang of it, and only got better from there (well in my mind maybe HAHAHA)

Took some pics and videos but turns out i had some crap on my camera lense so didnt come out well at all. Love to get my hands on some other good pics/videos people have.

Great to put some meet some new people as always too! Cant wait for the next one, with some luck the rain might hold out for the next one?!?!?!

i haven't been on recently and thought this was still in a few weeks. :) That will teach me for not marking stuff in calender.

good to see everyone had a good time though :)

I'd just like to say a big thanks to the organizers and everyone who made today possible, it was my first texi, and probably wont be my last.

My only real criticism would be that the wait-time between runs was painfully long sometimes, but i guess considering that only 1 car could run at a time, this is understandable. Other than that, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Good to see the camaros out there too, how awesome do they sound?? Not to mention that R35 :) *drools*

To be honest, i was quite impressed with how good my car felt while going through the strain and trials of my first attempt at an event like this. I guess it goes to show that these skylines are pretty competent machines, even if their drivers are not! :)

Looking forward to the next one!

Thanks to all for a great day,

a shame about the weather, but it gave me the perfect excuse to forget about times and do some skids (some people think I should just stick to skids but anyway)

Special thanks to the organisers, all the marshals and timekeepers, couldn't of done it without you all.

The only complaint is, my passengers seat was empty for a few runs, and same with some of the hypo cars. Come and have a spin next time, offer is open to all for shotgun in my car

I'm sure us ACT boys will be back for the next one, even if it is only 2 of us :)

P.S. I'll work on my 2 bottle hit trick and try and turn it into something epic (coins, football kick or something even crazier :))

I had a fantastic day as always! I accomplished my target for today... to destroy at least one of my evil, evil skid rims' tyres. A de-laminated tyre later and I felt my day was complete! :)

Big thanks go out to the volunteers, the Comaros / Trans-AM and those people who didn't just come from down the road :)

I hope more photos of my car made it through processing :no:

    • Trail braking done right, should have the rear unsettled, such that you're actually turning the car by a noticeable amount WITH the brakes, and hence noticeably less steering input.
    • No you don't. Just no more driving in the wet, and clean your window manually before you drive
    • I'm not sure if they tick your boxes, but Haltech would be my pick. I'm an Adaptronic guy from way back, and Haltech acquired Adaptronic to basically get Andy, AND his IP on how he does things like fuel modelling etc.
    • Just on this, as there's a huge issue in your assumption Dose.   The logic you've given, is the same logic old school NA guys give for "needing back pressure" in an exhaust. If you free up an exhaust system, and keep injecting the same fuel in etc, at the same timing, you'll typically drop power. Freeing the exhaust will often make an engine want a little bit more timing, and even sometimes a little more fuel, but then it'll make even more power.   There's many mods people do and "get no extra power" when running a comparison on the same tune. Imagine a car tuned for 91, but now we say put 98 in it, see no difference. But as we now have 98 fuel, you can run more timing, and make more power, as the 91 was knock limited.   So just be very wary in your claim of "don't retune it and do a back to back and you'll see". The correct approach would be tune the car with stock manifold, swap the manifold to aftermarket, and retune it again. But no one wants to do that, and all the results we get are "this was stock, and this is manifold changed and tuned" and people put it all down as just the tune doing it.
    • Unplug ECU. Unplug TPS. Unplug boost pressure sensor. Now, all the wires, placing your ground (black) multimeter lead at the ECU end, measure resistance of the 5V line at the boost sensor plug. Then do the same to the TPS plug. Then do the same for all the other wires that relate to the TPS, or boost sensor.   All of your measurements should be very very low. You're looking to see if wiring is out of wack here.   Secondly, from memory on the R33 (not a neo motor, so I'm assuming an r34) the ground wire for the TPS and boost sensor are NOT equal to ground of the car/battery. IE, DO NOT connect ground of the sensor to the engine/body of car. You'll get a ground loop, and/or potentially screw shit up. In electronics, ground for a circuit, is not necessarily equal to ground of another circuit.   So this leads me to ask, when measuring your 5V, how are you getting 1.5V? Where are your multimeter leads touching for both the red and black lead on the multimeter?   If you're measuring power on the sensor wire, and putting ground on the car chassis or negative battery terminal, that could be all of your issues in "getting 1.5v". Electronics engineers can do some funky stuff with circuits, and when both sensors are on, it's enough laid to alter how the ECU is functioning.
