Sure SteveO post away. An Ben I wouldn't do more than 10 or 15 minutes really. Believe it or not it gets repetitive and boring after a while. I had about 1.5 hours of footage to cut down for that 6 minute clip. Trick is to only have a few long segments and mostly 3-5 second clips.

Thanks for the kinds words guys. Oh, we should post it up on PI facebook too.

Well done fellas, looks like it was a great day.

Will try and come to the next one to give you all some competition. I'll try and bring my offsider also who will give the top of the tree a shake and give you someone to chase.

Great to see so many Nissans being used to their full potential.

Will get it up to the shop to get it weighed JP, think i just need an audience to perform. :action-smiley-069:

Nice Vid Eric, but wheres the silver Zed?

What program are you using there?, just trying adobe premier elements but not real happy with it.

Greg's black wide body S15 looked fat and fast, I will give him a run next one as The Slot Car was way off it's best, all new set up and got it wrong as understeered badly all day. I ran a little better at the NSCC day there the next day with a 1 min 6.1. Well ran day and nice weather. Well done again Michael Hill, faster again to.

Wizard either your car needs corner weighing bad or you drive smoother and faster with females on board,LOL.

I will be at the next one keen as.

I use Corel VideoStudio X3. Easy to learn (as video editing goes) and plenty of functionality.

90% is just trim clip, insert into timeline, dub music then throw on some titles and transitions.

Of course that still took 2-3 hours of editing for 6 minutes output.

Yeah time consuming, but enjoyable when the finished project is up. :thumbsup:

Will have a look at Corel, thanks.

I was also confused with the groups to. When I was at the NSCC day at Wakey the day after, which ran very similar to SAU, although instead of coloured dots, they write with white pen a number from 1 to 5 on your windscreen at scrutineering, according to you and your cars times. 1 being the fastest down to 5. This made it so much easier to know when your session was coming up, rather than trying to remember when hearing the call for groups and thinking. For example. Ok yellow is out now and red is next I think then blue or was it green or?? Colours don't have order numbers do.

NSCC did not however issue individual numbers for each car, unlike SAU- Renew which is very professional and handy. I kept my lime green SAU issued number 300, which was appropriate and easy.

Hopefully next Wakefield can mix both points together. To group people in numbers and to also give people individual numbers. Grouped numbers allows drivers to know when they are up. Individual numbers helps photographers and for the drivers again to pick out their lap times on the screen.

Depends if it is being watched to see what happened on the day or to see how individual cars handle and perform on the track...

nscc had car numbers

nscc had car numbers

ah was going to say same but you beat me to it, looks like there was a few guys who did both days?

i would have but couldnt afford two track days in one wknd (thanks credit card debt..) so really pissed i missed what sounded like a great SAU day, still managed to get a PB on the sunday of 1.13..6 and that should drop to 12's next time with the new tyres i got yesterday (400 dollar Pirelli...somethings)

nice video Eric, well done!

Patrick I ran Pirelli Corsa P-Zeros and was surprised they weren't that much better than street tyres. I need to stump up for some real Semi's now. Well done on a 1.13 that's about what I run in street trim. I gotta lurn to steer betta.

    • So you can then buy a more expensive, less reliable, more boring and slower replacement that's harder to work on and you have no knowledge of?
    • Will take much better photos when the time comes, I still want to do a sub 1m50s on street tyres at SMSP (just because). Then will slap on proper tyres and see if the car can get down to 1m40~45s range. If it goes sun 1m40s without aero, then wow.. but I don't expect the shit box to go that fast.
    • I have the OS Giken R3C with the GM 26 spline input shaft in my 32(Rb32 with only around 750hp atw) and its a pig to drive. Its actually very forgiving when its cold when when its warmed up, it chirps the tires even when trying to take off slowly. Mind you though, part of this has to do with my clutch master(Non-OEM) so the travel on the rod is shorter. How did you get 1130hp at 85% @e50?! Are you running a stroker? If so, I would recommend the R3C purely because it handles the abuse.
    • First time trying out a regularity format at the Peter Hall Memorial 6hr. It was an interesting experience with everyone on our team being brand new to the format. Safe to say reading and understanding the rules and scoring system would have really helped our team. We finished firmly last thanks to the majority of all laps across the team being penalties. In the words of my teammate Matt “Turns out we are both too quick and illiterate.” Another car had entered before us and already secured number 12 so i needed to clearly cross them out to avoid confusion for any other blue calsonic livery'd r32s at the event. The team consisted of an R32, an AE86, a supercharged V35, and a Kia CEED GT bought at salvage. I ensured we all had matching "Peer Pressure Racing" banners and overalls. This is the longest session of back to back hot laps the car has ever done (20mins no cool downs on a hot day).  It was a true test of the cooling /oil control mods and they certainly made big difference! Enjoy watching me lose 14 concurrent points for the team:  Unfortunately I only managed 45mins of track time over 3 sessions (20min, 20min, 5min) out of my allotted 90mins before my gearbox let go. Something related to shifter fork resulting in 3rd being neutral quickly followed by all gears neutral, then it being lock in two gears at once and unable to move. Optimistically there were no bad noises. But I am yet to pull box out and diagnose. Fortunately i was also to snag a tow home while I slapped a permit on the Kiaa which came on a trailer
    • Haha thanks for reply man Trying luck and Hoping to find one from all the sources, it's hard to find one as Nissan stopped production on sunroof glass panels
