I know this was discussed in the Wasteland for a bit, but deserves its own thread to mange who's going meet ups ect

I will be there with the Vodka O team in the Australian GT Series all 4 days, (so make sure you support our Lambo and Porsche out on track!

we have 25 confirmed entries (no pink GTR this year), and an Hour Twilight race on the Friday which means glowing brakes and exhaust flames

Guess some other will be there to watch the taxi's trundle around the track a bit.

A popular time for SAU meet ups has always been at the "fashion" shows running saturday and sunday behind the grand stand

checked the long range weather forecast......not lookin good

warm but rain every day

Frid = 35 Rain

Sat = 28 Rain

Sun = 27 Showers clearing

Aside from the sucky humidity, the rain should make for a more interesting race, no? :)

-D

That weather forecast is bloody PERFECT Sled .... nice and warm (but not inanely hot like many years), and a bit of moisture makes for VERY interesting races and some awesome stacks!

I'll be there working hard on the Saturday and Sunday

apparently some clown will be dressing up in uniform and trying to sell the Army Reserves to people

:rofl:

easy money, and can wander around during the day too :D

I like my weekend's to include some moisture :nyaanyaa:

Will be in Rundle Mall with the GT cars from 9.30 Wednesday

Hi Guys,

I will be coming over thursday morning for the weekend.

I work with globecam/V8 SC TV doing the incar cameras for all the classes.

It looks like its going to be a busy weekend with about 20 cars to rig plus the V8's.

Hopefully the weather plays nice too.

Cheers

Luke

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
