There's a Lambo entered? o.O damn.. wish my car was ready lol

That's MPC's new Lambo that they will be testing for the GT series.

Sunday is going to cold and wet, there are a fair few entrants. Hopefully the track isn't crowded and hopefully there are no major incidents that delays everything

Forget the delays, I dont mind delays from accos as some other poor bastard is struggling more then me. Oil and breakages are frustrating though....just hope ppl dont bend them as they have a habit of costing the earth to fix :thumbsup:

Shame to read you are expecting crappy weather, was hoping that the GTSt guys would get into the 21-22s

Ahhh, hope it doesn't rain! Not looking too good though.... should of kept my Continentals! Kumho KU36s now, hope they are good in the wet.

If it's really wet I'll be chucking on my KU36's as well.

Sorry to see that you aren't goint to make it Chris but I think there is another Sandown day later in the year.

As for the weather last I heard it was scattered morning showers then fine in the arvo. Personally I'm keeping my fingers crossed as my 55's are well worn and we know what happened the last time that happened :)

im in. its been too long without hitting the track plus i have a ton of terrible lifeless and treadless 55's to get rid of. where else would you do it but Sandown in the wet!?

LOL considering the proximity of walls at Sandown my choice would be PI or Winton for a bit of fun in the wet :verymad:

yes coming along to laugh at the rest of us is encouraged.

just turn up to sandown through the dandy rd entrance. security on gate will ask you who

is running the day, maybe.

park out the back of the pits, with all the other cars.

you can stand up the top of the pits or wonder through.

sweet, gonna come down for a watch tomorrow!

Anyone know the times cars will be running? Also, whats the official name of the event if security gets nosey?

Cheers

Brilliant day guys! Was my first time out with you all and had an absolute blast! Car went well, had the expected level of brake fade and new my clutch pressure plate was dying so when she started going it wasn't a total surprise but managed to run a 1:37.3 in a totally stock r32 gtst, very happy!

Sorry I didn't get to meet more of you I couldn't work out who was who.

Question, I don't remember filling in my sau comp category anywhere? How does that whole comp points thing work?

Cheers!

sorry i could make it out there today. sounds like you all had a good day.

did anyone have any dramas?

heres the timing for those interested :blush:http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?27/06/2010.SAN

looking forward to pics!

*edit* just noticed there was a lambo gallardo on the list pushing some pretty quick times. was it race spec or something?

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • 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
