Excuse my ignorance but what is at the speed dome? Did a quick google search but only really saw a velodrome there. Is there a track there that I can't see? Would be keen if it's decent!

The roads to the right of the dome is what we use.

It's a short course, but it's a lot of fun.

It suits people who are new to competitive driving because there's a lot of space to make a mistake.

It's quite good fun, with a few different track variations available.

Quick cars do most track layouts in 1:10 to 1:20.

Short runs, but you get to have lots of them so it's good practice.

Hi would be keen on it. It will be my first time playing a track in Aussie. Done it in Sepang and Pasir Gudang Malaysia before coming over to perth 2 yrs ago. Let me know. Might have a mate or 2 who might be keen.

Thanks off the reply Jay, might give it a miss. I've done a few track days at Mallala (SA) before and prefer a higher speed track. Don't think I'd be cracking 200km/h there although I agree-would still be heaps of fun.

Still keen as and will be committed to it but I won't be able to check if I'm free from work or not until a date is released for this event.

I'm not working on these following June weekends;

4th/5th

18th/19th

Will be away for work during the others.

Cheers

Still waiting on an answer regarding the availability of the venue. Lame slowasses!

I check this thread regularly, so don't for one second think I've forgotten all about it.

I'm keen to get out there again myself!

Ok guys, the weekend of the 4-6th June might be a go, with the day being either on the sunday or monday.

I'm in the process of finding out the schedule for the next month or so, so the final date is TBA.

Watch this space!

    • 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.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
