Am................NO.

This is not a Drift practice day and for 50 bux what do you expect.

Read the opening post, all events are catered around handling, in the wet and dry. Don't get me wrong, people are more than welcome to have fun and hang the arse end out at every corner. The the idea of the day is to just legally play around and take your car to your controlled (and uncontrolled, on the skid pan) limits, it is NOT a training day.

Power is not an issue as the huge skid pan will be wet in some areas and the hand-brake is a lovely thing to us on an vast open area.

*coff* 25T thank you... i'll ip shivam a new hole when I get it too... then he can take pics of my tail lights... but I digress.

Put me down as a tentative yes depending on my exams (they're in June as well). I'll give you a definitive answer by the end of the week.

See all you guys there......I have paid $$$$$$$! Should be a good day. :P

Was great to meet you at the NCS club meeting :D

Glad to hear that you are confirmed. As Jossiette said you will be recieving the confirmation details in the mail.

Hey guys sounds like a great event.

I'm the secretary of the Shepparton & District Car Club and we have held numerous events from sprint meetings to motorkhana's on the back track and on the skid pan over the years. In fact we have a motorkhana on this Sunday for participants in the "wheels of time" festival.

We were forced to cancel our last sprint meeting due to be held on the back track which is one scary track with an awesome crest following onto a dip and a left hand corner because DECA has recently put "armaco" on the corner at the end of the front straight to protect newly built houses.

I have personally come off that corner twice and I can say it is so easy to do. We had chicanes in the middle of the front and back straights to keep speeds down and to get CAMS approval and it was still possible to be going fast enough by this corner to lose it big time.

The agreement with DECA is simply if you hit the "armaco" you pay for it and it costs a shit load. So it would be important to figure out if the organisers will cover the cost or the person who hits it does.

I'm not trying to spoil your event, but I'd hate you to get there and have DECA tell you NO WAY when they find out your exact plans.

I'd double check this and if the event goes ahead which I hope it does in some form I'll definately be out there for a look.

Regards Shane.

Shane rest asured, Northern Street Cruizers is not an amature club and the event is covered by public liabilty insurance. We are fully aware of the armaco fixtures and are planning to put more than one chicane (looking at about 3) to control the speed, and a time penalty for anyone that hits the witches hats.

At the end of the day it is up to the driver to be sensable and drive within their limits. This is nowhere near as damaging/dangerous as driving through the Great Ocean Road. On the GOR you have a cliff face on one side and the armaco on the other, not to mention the dampness, dirt, rocks, etc., on the road, due to it's geographical location. DECA is a controlled environment which is going to be made more controlled once we lay out the track.

The idea is to have fun and drive home at the end of the day.

The management at DECA have been fully briefed on our activites and the days events.

Shane,

We have previously heard about your event running this weekend and would like to ask your permission for the club commity to enter the venue to finalize the finner details/layout of the courses. We promise to not cause any interuptions to your day and will work descreetly in the background.

Sorry, didn't catch the message before the weekend. The "Wheels of time" is a seperate event which we usually have a static display in. After last year of sitting around we decided it wasn't worth sitting out at DECA unless we could run a motorkhana as a display to the crowd of what we do.

It went off well, mostly club entries with a few other participants from other "wheels of time" displays.

You can go out to DECA at any time thru the week and if you asked at the office I would be very surprised if they didn't let you have a look around. I don't know if they are open every weekend but most times I drive past there is someone out there, the other day it was some mazda or mx-5 club.

I organised an event out at DECA thru our club last year which was a series of motorkhanas that went from mid-day to midnight (headlights only after dark). Some of the motorkhana's used the whole skid pan area, plenty of big corners to drift if u like.

We tried to attract some of the young guys here in Shepparton to join in and had a no-commitment come-and-try entry. The trouble is nearly the whole entry fee goes to CAMS as 1-day-insurance for these "non CAMS members".

We got a big crowd, a decent number of entries but twice as many guys parked their cars like it was a show-n-shine and sat there and watched.

We didn't make much out of it and spent alot of time running around stopping burn-outs etc...

    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel
