Round 1 of the NSW State Champs are on this weekend at Eastern Creek.

Categories include Sports Sedans, Improved Production, HQs, Production sports, and of course the mighty production touring category....and for the first time in about 5 years there are 2 GTRs on the grid.

Each category has qualifying and 1 race on sat, and 2 races on sunday

If you do make it drop by, I will be set up on the skidpan somewhere wishing I could afford a garage ;)

The good news is, ARDC have finally worked out it is more expensive to pay for a gatekeeper than to just throw the gates open.....so entry is free both days.

Good luck uncle Druncan!

I'll be living it up in thailand with the ladyboys...wait,wut?

give those V8's hell and I expect a podium finish.

p.s. you must enter MRA too...cause u can!

I'll probably come out on Sunday to take a few photos.

Got a website link to this event?

sort of...but it is rubbish! http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.com/events.htm

And Chris, Podium isn't enough... He needs to come first! :P

jeeus, no pressure there! the field is going to be damn competitive including those pesky emo Xs. Luckily they are down to 1.2bar this year instead of 1.6+

well it rained for the race and qualifying yesterday, and the forecast for today is:

Metropolitan area

Cloudy. Heavy showers, easing to scattered showers later in the evening.

The main issue with that is.....my car is rubbish in the wet!

How do they police that Dunc ?

I've seen one of your wet weather power launches, smoke em !

all turbo cars run a valve in the BOV pressure side. If manifold pressure exceeds the allowed pressure the valve closes, causes the BOVs to blow open and drop all boost. Painfully effective. In fact it really doesn't work well with the stock system because it spikes and then returns, I had to add a boost controller to keep the spikes under control. max boost I saw today was 11.3 psi dammit.

You did well today Duncan. Pity the Evo's were out in force :P

What happened in the last race, is everything alright with the car?

Will post photos soon.

mate the car was a shitbox in the wet (don't believe what you read on the internet abotu 4wd in the wet....it does SFA for mid corner speed). But in the dry it went f**king great, I was holding down 4th place with an emo X, emo 9 and sti only in front of me. pretty good for a 20yo car with a hack driver. And I had the wrong damn tyres on again. bring on wakie!

What went wrong was....the fuel sender was borken, we chucked in all the fuel we had in jerries to be safe. 25min race, 3 warm up laps after the trouble on the grid....I just ran out of fuel on the second last lap. I could hold say 2000rpm without running out of fuel but anything above that it broke down :( Won't happen again.

That Evo X driven by glenny/pearson was fcuking quick off the grid and around EC! I lol'd so hard when it was the 2nd warm up lap and you took off from the grid at full pace hahahahaha damn that was funny! I hope you didn't get any time penalties from that!

Running 11.3psi of boost would suck!!!! Why do they restrict the boost and not restrict the power instead?

Are there any restrictions on the class that had the porsches and lotus's?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
