I'm going to try and go and Sat but am going to do Haunted Hills on the Sunday (another option if you are interested. Plenty of SAU people will be there - although if I was you I'd be sticking with PI for 2 days)

i have been told some stories about how quick you are mr snowman around PI, hoping i can tuck into your slip stream and you can pull me along :)

Last time i went to PI for the weekend the Haunted hills event was on at the same time as well which was a real shame. Looked at some of the footage and looks like a hoot.

Interested in splitting the cost of a garage on the Saturday?

I posted my forms last week with a cash cheque for the saturday, would have been heaps easier with EFT and faxed or emailed entries, spose I will find out on the day if they accepted it.

Really didn't think I would ever need a proper cheque book.

Gonna try fit oil cooler this weekend, then should be ready to go.

I'm staying down on saturday night for a few beers, then going to the track on sunday to watch a few friends peddle their cars around.

Look out for the silver 32 sedan.

Cheers

Rob

roy, i sent my entry form early this week so if you hear it is full would you mind letting me know please. I really hope not as i just booked accommodation:(

Alex, Accommodation at the Phillip Island ECO Lodge if you have some friends seems most affordable and still OK, we booked a 2 bed villa Fri-Sat and Sunday nights. If you are going let me know and i guess drop by for a cold one.

I cant come. :wacko: Pretty pissed off ATM. Its the last weekend we have our holiday house. We sold it and the settlement is Monday.

Apart from weird little huts to sleep in, the Eco lodge is pretty well equiped. They have a big pool and outside BBQ. Seeing you guys will only be sleeping there basically. It will be fine.

Have fun :action-smiley-069:

was not the best weekend with miss firing that i thought had been fixed and then cracking the turbo manifold most probably due to the miss firing and having to run as little boost as possible.

Was nice to meet you all and whilst with all the troubles it was probably a weekend to forget it made up for it having a chat around the garage and seeing all the cars out on the track.

I have put together a clip for my tuner to try and work out what is the problem and replicate on the dyno but it gives you an idea of my frustration.

The running around with little or no boost and the big crack in my manifold was fun for a while until smoke started coming into the cabin. Might have to wait another couple of years to be able to afford to head down again but hopefully it will just be the driver and not the car as the limiting factor next time.

      You've done it wrong. I don't have time right now to type up enough. I'll have to come back to it or maybe someone else will in the meantime.

      Link G4X GTTLink questions, MAP Boost Solenoid

      By shortyboy · Posted

      I was able to complete installation of the G4X ecu. I needed to reroute MAP vacuum signal from stock location to where BOV is connected on the intake plenum. Has anyone needed to do the same? When I connect vac port by the BOV flange to my HKS BOV, it doesnt work and I get flutter. I would to get BOV working, where would it be best to T in? Or would it best for me to move MAP vac line and T into FPR? Secondly, I installed a MAC 3 port boost solenoid and wanted to know if i routed it correctly. I place two lines from stock boost solenoid and placed it on ports 1 and 2, leaving 3 vented. The T for wastegate and boost source on compressor elbow is on port 2, and port 1 is connected to turbo inlet intake pipe. Please see attached pictures. Ill upload ecu config later today. Thanks in advance.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy.
