Hi All,

I know this one appears in the 2010 events list but I thought i'd put a thread up to remind everyone.

Cost os $125 or $95 for ADRC members. Must have an L2S licence or above. Gates open at 7, track opens at 9am and closes at 5pm.

To ensure quick sign on, fill out the form in this link and bring it with you. - http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.com/pdf/I..._Disclaimer.pdf

I would have loved to go but I can't make this day but let me know if anyone has any questions.

Liz.

Hi, is this event still going ahead?

Hi, is this event still going ahead?

This is held by Eastern Creek, anyone with an L2S licence can rock up on the day to go fast! Chances of it falling over are minimal, but if you are paranoid just give them a ring (9672 1000)

I should be making an appearance around 1330 :P

i think he means is it still going ahead as in, is it still an open day

they recommend you check a couple of days in advance just to make sure it hasn't been canned.

I'll call tomorrow boys.

turned out to be a excellent day.

Not so much for the car though. The front right tyre delaminated just at the end of my last session so I had to drive home with the craziest vibration ever. Lumps of rubber falling off everywhere! I thpught about throwing on the limp-home but I just crawled home. Turbo is now making a funny noise :)

Thousands. It was pretty packed. Not many 100% hotlaps which was really the only downside. One minute I was being smoked by r35gtr's the next your trying to find your way around old school escorts with grumpy drivers who won't let you pass :)

Yeah it was packed because they had Australian GT cup practice on that day for the race meetings overs the weekend. Instead of having the usual CARS, BIKES and L2S sessions, they had:

1) OPEN WHEELERS,

2) CARS (ppl who have a race licence),

3) AUS GT CARS,

4) BIKES, and then,

5) L2S.

So very few sessions. I only did two full sessions and one 5 min one due to some one coming off and I struggled with tyre temps and grip throughout all of them. It was still pretty cool though, to watch Lambo's, vipers, porsches and Corvettes going around...

FloydWest, were u in the black r33 GTS-T with a carbon/vented bonnet?

yeah that was me.

I struggled with grip too. Came off twice at turn 4 and once coming out of turn 2.

Well, I blame grip - but it's most likely my terrible driving skills.

How many sessions did u do? I only remember being on the track with you for the 2nd last session of the day (i.e. the 3:10pm one, i didn't stay for the last one).

Is your car ok? You were saying that the turbo is making weird noises now?

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
