just going through the sup regs and it says that vehicles need to have a dashboard. does my one count as its not a factory thing?

also, how strict are they on the seats? mine has no CAMS/FIS tags on it (Cheapo copy seat)

First update wont be until the end of the week as we have to rely on Renew for this one (their name is on the booking for this one, ours is next after this one)

Paid and sent for off today.

I have entered in street class as most of the day will be done on street tyres. Will it be a problem later on in the day if I change over to some full slicks if I am feeling game? Or does that then change the requirements to needing a harness and a full roll cage? I don't mind if the times don't count. Just entering for a bit of fun with my car.

cheers,

Nathan

Transferred funds and faxed off form today, I will again endeavor to do a sub 1:10, I'm sure the car would do it easy, its the dodgey driver that's holding her back.

Probably the last outing for my current set of semis too, I'll be needing to win lotto to pay for the next set, or I'll buy them from the good old US of A as the dollar is still looking bloody good.

Because it is being run as a super sprint (timing) / track day RENUW have used SOME rules from a standard type of super sprint reg sort of ? ! .

SAU track days will be back to normal after this little comp, and will be more focused on driver training and taking a mate for a spin, as pointed out there are lots of clubs to do sprints and/or door to door style of racing, SAU is more about having fun in a low risk enviroment with mates where you can go as fast as you like (as long as your speed matches your ability).

Still for a small outlay you can have piece of mind that if your car, someone elses car or if your mates hair catches on fire you can put it / him / her out and save your s hit from burning to the ground.

$20 could save so much.

I have 1.5kg in the car, .900kg in the kitchen, 2kg in the garage, you may say overkill, I say my sh it wont burn down.

:cheers:

In car fire extinguisher required?? Seriously??

Is this something that will be more and more prevelant for Track days, or just something special for this one?

Cheers,

They're $50 and could save you from watching your car burn while you're powerless to do anything about it. Ive got one in each of my imports just to be safe, for $50 why would anyone not have one?!

I think you'll find over time more and more days will require this basic safety item but for now as we are running with renew we seem to be one of the first :)

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
