John you looking at sat or sunday?

if the weather forcast for sun is still ok later in the week i'll prob come along as well.

Both if they are not raining, else the one where there is no rain.

$340 to sign up for both days, $200ea otherwise.

Sunday is timed, Saturday is not. Doesn't bother me either way.

Also Jack did you realise that the track was wet?!?!? In the wet the car was still entering turn 11 at mach 3.

Disappointing day :( Was having car issues anyway, so probably best for the car that it was rained out.

Thanks for helping with my Power FC hand controller Ant. Good to meet you and thanks for the entertaining entries onto the front straight!

Now to wait for PI in august...

Yeah got some good video (including of the off :P ) Camera position was decent, can see around the mirror, but will be better with the arm extended. Will upload them to YouTube when I get a chance.

Also Dean, if youre around. Sorry for not jumping in the car with you. The official that was with Justin say they had it all sorted.

For Phillip Island come grab me, as they generally do a sighting lap for new drivers right at the start of the day.

A 32 is pretty damn good, that was your first time ya?

helps to have a really crappy time to beat!

Katie took a few pics if anyone wants them:

oh is any-one volunteering to do a write up for the newsletter?

Or did I just Volunteer

Oh, and check out around the 4:30 mark, pretty much sums up my day.....

hahaha, that's awesome Jack!!! did you run out of brakes? lol love the look back by Luke followed by you sliding past the front of him hahah :worship:

Nah mate, brakes worked fine, was carrying heaps of speed through the first kink and to avoid running into the back of Luke hit the anchors hard, car tried to do a 'Brisby' on me and face the other way, managed to miss the armco and Luke....

Serves you right for trying to CHEAT!

How you finding the driving position in the Evo as a giant Jack? I guess you can probably sit a bit further back than me, but that would put the steering wheel even further out of reach. Also the pedals are all wrong, I find my heel hits either the carpet or my toes are on the pedal stem. The dash is also a problem, its so chunky and goes down so low.

God I am happy to have a working skyline again - slotted straight back in.

HAHAHAHAHAHHA that made my morning :cheers:

Anyway looks like the evo will take a bit of getting used to Jack... no doubt with more seat time you will be punching out low 20's soon :thumbsup: cheaterer :P

Contour GPS. Same as HD but has an embedded 4hz GPS unit as well, I think they fixed the sound issues the early HD's had as well.

The camera writes GPS data to the MOV file. Drop the single file into DashWare and you are done.

The video quality on the GoPro is only slightly better imo.

What I do like about the Contour is the package format (size of the camera) is much smaller and neater. And you can twist the lens.

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
