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.

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

Got a website link to this event?

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!

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?

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
