Here's some incar / out from Race 3

NSW Sports Sedan Championship Wakefield Park R2

Simply awesome Stu! Great race, great footage and great driving! Congratulations!

You must be stoked. Was it a cool trophy? Bet it's gone straight to the pool room. haha!

Thanks Mark

Karen did the footage, was wrapped to get the trophy - presentation was different, for a state series it was a walk by past the garage - congrats, there you go.

Other drivers and spectators were more excited, as me, when I actually realised I'd won.

Bathurst Regularity, Karen had a shocker!! Nominated 2.58's and basically straight off the batt 2.46's.

Thus putting her out of regularity - but had an absolute ball, the only downer for the weekend - we picked a cracked block on Wednesday night (oil in radiator), and the old girl (R33) couldn't quite cope for the whole weekend.

Had to retire lap 4 Saturday and missed Sundays run.

From the grin on Karen' face the first 2 days, I reckon I got a couple of years racing left yet, with the best pit crew and relief driver - bar none.

Cheers

  • 2 weeks later...

Irace last Friday - 29th April, qualifed 1st then the rains came - my 1999 Dunlop wets weren't' so good in races 1 and 2 - put slicks on anyway for 3rd race and went 8 seconds a lap quicker on slicks in the wet - than the wets - the only downfall was had to start from pit row - but got 7th.

Once again I think most competitors had a good day - was a few issues and hold ups through the day due to wet weather and people mixing abilities and capabilites.

NSW Supersprint R3 Wakefield Park - frosty start, but session 2 started to see some good times by many. (Consistent low 1.01's finally returned in AU)

Session 4 the AU showed some good spirit and we joined the 60 second club - was pretty happy with this on 3 race old tyres, 15 degree day.

Did a 1.00.95 didn't bother with last session as there was an oil spill at turn 4.

Congrats to all, but special mention to Nismoman for a PB - good stuff.

Cheers

Thanks Stuart! But congrats to you also new PB and fastest tin top of the day.

I'm stoked with my new PB of 1:05.42! Really pleased with the Silvia's pace at Wakefield. It's a favourite track of mine that's for sure.

Cheers

Mark

I'd say it's between 0.5 - 1 second quicker to the old old track.

The two recent changes I'm aware of:

1 - track resurface was carried out a while ago now (18mths ago?). It resulted in a quicker track probably close to a second faster.

2 - new ripple strips and curbing. This made it more difficult to jump the curbs so makes it slower again by maybe 0.5 sec

Plus I find Wakefield varies alot due to temperature and condition of track surface. Sometimes you can beat a PB by 0.5 sec, other times you struggle to match it.

The reason I'm going quicker is I added some aero pieces to my car, i.e. rear wing and front splitter/undertray. Plus Kumho V710 tyres which offer a bit more grip over the usual semi slick.

So far with these changes I've beaten my previous PB by 1.1 seconds at Wakefield and 2 seconds at Eastern Creek.

Time flies!

I went there in Jan 2008 and it had *just* been resurfaced.

I can't believe its been over 3 years and I haven't made it back there.

Car's looking good nismoman. Nice time too!

Time flies for sure. I haven't even gotten around to visiting circuits in other states so you are ahead of me there Harry.

My track exposure is limited to: Oran Park (RIP), EC and Wakie.

I'll have to save up some money and brownie points somehow and get my bum down to Phillip Island, Winton and Lakeside. QR dosen't really appeal to me.

Thanks for the compliments, the car has come a long way since 2008. Progress is slow but it's progress nonetheless.

New PB at EC yesterday: 1:44.19

And Stuart, sorry I temporarily hijacked your thread!

Congrats Mark another PB going well, Nick also pulled a blinder 1.37's in an evo.

Had car on standby - decided against - big night Saturday and wasn't happy with car prep - so we ventured back home

By all means hijack site - most news is good news.

Cheers

    • 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"
