hey guys,

Came across this event in another forum, & looks interesting so thought I'd put it up here incase people were interested:

Time Attack Battle 2010 - Barbagallo - October 29th 2010

When and Where

Barbagallo Raceway – Wanneroo - Friday October 29th. Scrutineering will start at 5pm, the first cars will be on the track at 6pm and all lapping will be completed by 10:00pm. For full details of the timetable, you can review the Supplementary Regulations.

What

The format will be pretty much the same as the last event. You will have many opportunities put in timed laps of the track, and your fastest lap will determine your overall place and your place in your class. There will be 9 classes and each class winner will be rewarded with a trophy. Besides a trophy per class, there will be trophies for the top 3 overall and also an award for the ‘Driver of the Day’. The same ‘big screen’ results display will be back, including live SMS messages of your times.

Further details: http://raventechracing.com/index.htm?page=...mp;sub=29102010

"Just to clarify spectators are free, full regulations are on the RR website under events for those who'd like to enter and restore some pride to the Nissan badge, food is being provided for competitors so spectators will have to eat grass, roadkill ala wanneroo or used tires."

Hi All,

Raventech Racing has just joined this forum to try to provide input to discussions about this event. We will try to answer questions posted in this thread, or you can email/pm us.

They obviously haven't advertised well as this is the first I've heard of it :down:

We are trying very hard to get the word out about our events, but it is proving difficult. If you have any suggestions on how to promote the event please let me know.

Hi Michael,

I did notice there is a link on the WASCC Site, but I definately agree that the Car Club Forums are often the best way to get the message out to a large audience. There are a number of serious time-attack cars tucked away around Perth, and I'd hate for people not to see them cause they didn't know about it. Have you contacted the guys at No Limits, SCRA etc ?

Cheers

Paul

Paul,

We have got this on quite a few forums, but we are trying to get it up on more everyday. We need help from the people in the community (like yourself) to spread the word as most forums won't let us start a thread without paying big $$$'s to become a site sponsor. We should have posters and flyers down at Wheels World by the end of the day.

We would love to see all those hidden away time-attack cars come out to play :( . The Skyline community will be well represented by several of our competitors.

I don't think that the guys from No Limits would be too excited about helping to promote this event, as I'm sure this will be seen as competition for them (althought it isn't).

Michael

Hi Michael,

I'm starting to spread the word to a number of people who are likely to be interested, and will also have it sent out to the SAUWA Members in our email updates. We don't want events like these to die through a lack of visibility, as WA could definately do to have more motorsport events.

Cheers

Paul

All car club forums such as this, WRX Car Club, HSV Car Club, FPV Car Club, MX5 Car Club etc along with flyers at shops like Wheels World, such as Tech 9 Tyres, etc together with Performance Work shops like X Speed, Garage 101, Fabcar Racing etc would be a great for extra visibility to your audience.

I agree that we need to make these sorts of events occur more often here in Perth, as compared to what happens in Melbourne, we don't have anywhere near the level of events like these, even though our performance car scene is just as large, if not larger.

Good luck and hope to see you there at the event.

thinking of entering this, anyone else going in it?

seems to be the bulk of this events forum is just cruises, how many actually get to the track ?

There is plenty of people who do track stuff, including myself, but most of those events have dedicated forums, i.e. IPRWA, SCRAWA, No Limits etc.

I know a number of people entering the event, should be a good night.

OK fair enough...No Limits is one of the best entry level track nights, I've sung its praises on here, only missed a couple of nights in the last 2 years & reckon I've seen a few Skylines at best apart the usual suspects, done Shannons, Fabcar, Transcore etc and only a couple of Skylines and not from here..

IPRWA & SCRAWA look like they are for striped out race cars ?

Am I missing out on other events that everyone on here are doing ??

By the way I'll see you at the "Time Attack" just entered,, street class AWD

I created this thread, in order to assist people getting into Motorsport, any input you can provide is welcome.

Only event you didn't list was the Speed Event Series.

Will try and catchup with you at Time Attack, best of luck. Are Gav and Chris also entered in the Street AWD Class ?

I hope their not, I would've thought both of them would be running semi's, so not sure if thats "Limited" or "Unlimited"

Yeah havn't done the Sped Event Series yet..

I'll keep a look out for you, you'll be in a GTS? what colour?

You're right, they will be running R-spec, so that will push them into "Unlimited" by the look of the Sup Regs.

Nah, my car won't be there, it's off getting a cage installed, and is race only anyway. Post a pic of your car and I'll come find you.

If you mean Gavin Beer and Chris Reynolds, then no, they are not entered (yet). I am still hoping that they will. If they were to enter in their cars in the same spec as the April Time Attack then they would both be in "Limited AWD". Running R-spec tyres, by itself, doesn't push you into the "Unlimited" classes.

It's ok to enter in 'race only' cars. Provided you're not running full slicks, pretty much anything goes in the "Unlimited" classes :P

Thanks for the clarifications :)

I'd enter myself, but I don't believe my cage will be completed in time for the event.

sent Gav a text, he's entering today and will remind Chris, hope their running semi's, don't want either of them in my class .

here's a couple of pics. looks like this except she's wearing R34 GTR rims, and sporting a TO4Z not the big Turbonetics

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
