Haven't tried semi's (r-comp) yet.

595RSR 235 Front 255 Rear

A1RM pads

324mm front rotors

215rwkw

swaybars + greddy type s

camber bush

1.5 way KAAZ

I've done a 1.24.x there in October (?) last year. The only difference from the above with that time was PMu HC+ pads.

The setup now has cusco upper arm, 255 tires up front, 330mm ksport brakes and blue/yellow stuff pads. With an unknown diff (nismo/cusco 1.5).

So i would expect at least another 24 with the current setup. The aim would be consistent 24's.

Yeh well I've got some AO50's to drop on the car later in the year. I can tell you RSR are a good street spec tire and more consistent the KU36.

But they are still a good 2-4 seconds slower than AO50/RE55. Depending on the track.

Hi John,

I have looked at the Regs for the AROCA day and it says all competitors are now required to have their CAMS Officials Licence for at least the Flags Category? How do you obtain this?

Sorry I am new to the track day scene and hoping to have my car ready for this event and want to have all relevant Licence's. I have obtained my CAMS Level 2S.

Thanks in advance

Jamie

I have never had a problem and I don't have the flags license. L2S will be fine.

The flag guff is there from when no-one was turning up to be a flaggy for their days I imagine. What they do know is either employee flaggies

for the day or organise licensed flagies to assist and 'train' other AROCA club members to be flaggies.

Yeh well I've got some AO50's to drop on the car later in the year. I can tell you RSR are a good street spec tire and more consistent the KU36.

the AO50's will automatically bump you up to modified class :devil:

Here is some action from last years FFCC at Sandown.

Nice footage John.

What camera setup are you using and also what are you using to display the gps track layout and speed?

Very interested in setting up something similar..

Cheers

i sent my entry form in twice and asked for payment details but haven't got a reply yet, i just thought they were full. who did you speak to?

Definitely can spectate.

Spoke to the organiser today and there is still room so I'm entering Monday.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
