I could be mistaken but I think you need to do Phillip Island to qualify for the stickers!

You are wrong.....you need to stay at the Wang to do Winton to get the stickers :P

But if you really want the stickers just contact Bec :ninja:

im going to come down to watch, will they let me in just to watch? or do i have to be participating to enter. is the front gates open or only allowed through the side gate?

i was going to bring some friends down so make sure you guys show them what skylines can do.

there were no mod rwd there on the day iirc?

but the standard rwd belongs to me now?? :)

was an awesome, day...errrr night..

had a ball!

there were quite a few blowups / failures / offs.

include marty and I.....:nyaanyaa:

so after hearing wat andrew was saying about brake temps in the first session i thought i should give the car an even longer

cooler down in the second session. though it didnt help.

brake pedal was hitting back at me, though it may have just been warped rotors....

got onto the pre grid for the 3rd run, in the dark. this is going to be cool, glowing brakes, great pics of the flames from my car.

hrm i better check those rotors.

but that is all the way through.

edit: oh they are dba 4000, so expected anyway...?

Bugger, i cracked a rotor at Calder too. Matt, what was your best at Calder? I am pretty sure between Ryan and a few others that none of mine or your times stand ay any track aymore :)

At Calder i think my best was a 1:06.4, LOL with a cracked rotor, crabbing on the road anda hot day with a pinging engine with flat spotted tyres from Dutton :) :) It was my last track day in the 32 and the reason why i stopped tracking it until i had time to go through the car and do a refurb on much of the suspension, fuel system and brakes at an expesnse its take me a few years to afford.

But fark help you all when she gets back out there :)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
