Have been to Saturdays with PIARC.

They run 4 groups.

Open Wheel

Race Cars (v8 super cars, GT cars etc ec)

Experienced Drivers / Fast Cars

Inexperienced Drivers / Slow Cars

For you, I would select Race.

As for who turns up....well anything.

I have seen, Lambo GT, Porsche Cup cars, V8 Supercars etc etc.

You also get the guys out for a paddle around the track, but they will be grouped in the slow group.

The Fast Group is really anything faster than 2mins. Race is anything faster than a 50 from the time they were doing.

These days are a line up, once the track reaches max density for the session that is it. You wait. Though I have never been in the fast group with more than 10 or so other drivers on the track.

You can get CAMS on the day, though only if you are a PIARC member?

Did you get RaceChrono up and running? As there is no timing on Saturday with PIARC.

You can go to CAMS in malvern / caulfield and get it done on the spot, cost an extra $70.

Alt is to send it via mail and wait for the WRX round at PI on the 20th of August. CAMS will take 10-15 days to come through to you.

Did you want to share a garage John? I think they are $150 for the day. Might be able to get 3 of us so we only pay $50 each.

I'm thinking it's only worthwhile if it rains.

Also I don't think I have any pit crew that can make it. Anyone wanna come down and lend a hand?

You can alway email the sprint sec from PIARC contacts. Theresa accepted my scan to PDF and mentioned I could pay on the day.

I'll think on garage, do you book before day? as not normally bothered. Still forecasting 1mm but pretty strong winds, shiver.

Hey Russ - I like PIARC Saturdays. Longer sessions (timed 20mins rather than 3 flying laps) - so usually 8 or so laps. It really lets you get into a rhythmic around that place. Presuming the car is up to it.

Of course as with all PIARC days clean laps is pretty hard (in fast cars anyways) since there is no grouping really. But if you stress less about times and just get a feel for your car and the track then you will get a lot of of those days.

It would be a great weekend for you too Paul if you can get there. Just make sure you manage your tyres there (keep and eye on the front right tyre and rotate the tyres around the car if needed).

Well CAMS charged my card yesterday so hopefully licence is en-route.

If that arrives today / tomorrow and I can enter in time I will be there Saturday.

Definitely worth switching over to a fresh set yeah - those ones on the 9.5's wouldn't be up to the task would they? Or even just choose the best 4 of the used ones?

Yeah I'll go for Saturday. Got hold of Theresa and she said there are heaps of spots left for both days. Campbell is coming down with me. See how we go with weather. If it's going to be real wet I might stay home. I'll enter on the day.

I'll go with the race chrono lap timer and should hopefully be in a fast group.

PIARC Days you can ALWAYS enter on the Day. If you go both days you can enter both of them on the Saturday. Just bring cash because that's all they'll take though.

But for you mate I'd just switch back to the 4 x 9.5's and go for it. Those tyres will be fine given you won't be going flat out just yet. There was one tyre that was pretty sad but I think it's on one of the 10.5? Just check and don't use that one.

I'm thinking about staying at home if the weather stays the same. Wet and windy...

I could use the time for more development on my car at home...

Any other PI days coming up that people know of?

Toughen up Princess! :) PI is the best track in Vic in the wet to drive on. LOTS of room for catching slides.

Plus - what are you going to do if its wet and windy @ Superlap?

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
