Im out :rant: , my timing belt tensioner just failed. I'm unable to get a refund so if anyone wants a spot pm me or call 0434072251

We had a similar problem with numbers last event too. Matt did a post on the Renew site but didn't get any response at all.

I plan to discuss this at the SAU General Meeting as the photographers do such a great job, but asking them to spend 3 days doing photos for very little isn't a fair deal. I will try to propose a few alternatives to the club so that we can retain their awesome services.

But this time we will be sans SAU club photography.

Be sure to come to the AGM to voice your opinion on our options.

Best time for the day ? What car ?

Seems we didn't need my space frame dangerous car.

Nice work Stretch.

Cheers

Neil.

Congrats SAU!! Looks like some super fast times from both SAU and RENEW.

I'm sure i can speak on behalf of Matt also, sorry we could not make it down today guys. We love you all but expense wise i am broke ($1400 for a new clutch/ clutch change in my evo) and as i live in manly it's a good 3 hour drive, long day walking around, 3-4 days of retouching and editing and for what would of been something like $40, it just didn't seem viable.

I believe we are actually helping you guys out by doing such great deals on photos (normally charge $50 a disc) that are not just simple amateur photos but photos that are on par with magazine type photos.

We love coming down and having a chat and of course it's not all about the money, but at the minimum, travel costs need to be covered.

I hope that next track day we can gain some more interest!

We will both be at texi as it's a lot more local so if you want to have a chat just come up to me or Matt (Matts the ugly one!!!!).

just like to thank the SAU and RENEW boys who organised today, top job as usual!

everything ran really smooth. but next time, could you do something about the fog??:nyaanyaa:

Great run day, thanks to RENEW & SAU members that organised it!

Funny the top 4 SAU cars are not Skylines one was even a Mazda buts it’s ok Neil I still support SAU driving an old rotor , where are all the fast Skylines hiding?

That S15's an ANIMAL!

Kory you are soooooo right. I tried to take a couple of photos between video and well, most of mine simply turn out rubbish compared to you guys. We'll be discussing at the AGM to try and sort out an equitable arrangement so that we can continue to enjoy you and Matt's work.

Condolences to the poor yellow Mazda. I saw him walk away but does anyone know him / know if he's alright?

Yeah he was helping clean up when we were cleaning up the fluids off the track. He will probably be a bit sore tomorrow. From what I saw of it earlier it seemed to have a lot of body roll, hope they got home ok

Gregs S15 is great, just needs that rear diffuser finished and it will look so damn awesome

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
