Hey Jack - you wouldn't happen to have any old GT-R fitment 18 x 10.5's laying around unused I could borrow for a day?

You can borrow your old 10.5's if you want Snowy. I need to do a bit of a shuffle first and get a fresh set of tyres on the 9.5's - should have it done tomorrow.

Russ - there's always PIARC in Oct and Nov for you to run a time there.

I've been inspired by the whole WTAC thing and reckon I'm having a crack at Clubman next year in the new toy (because basically Clubman is Targa spec so it fits with the cars development). But what that means is you're going to be my bench mark - only I have to try and do it on street rubber!(Given you were 0.5s ahead of the winning Clubman time this year)

So - 1.43's on the OEM street rubber is the eventual goal. It's going to be fun!!! (And scary!! LOL)

Do like very much :) You've chosen the right car to do it in too!

The bench mark will be moving again next year... I'm aiming for a 39 :) Not quite sure how I'll do it yet haha.

Bunnings trip to pickup some aluminium sheeting. Wicked front splitting and flat under tray.

Also to the more experienced drivers. There are going to be a few new guys at this event in DT or other classes. It would like nice if you could give up 10 mins of your time to go out with these drivers in the first reccy session.

I'll take the lightest person - cheers ;)

OK after talking to the WRX guys seems we have 24 entries with SAU listed as the nominated club....wow. Motorsport is fashionable again!

However we Have 4 DT guys that we really need to step up and help out with.

So guys I'm kinda looking in the corner with:

John

Ant

Andrew

Chris

Jack

and yes Matt if you feel comfortable.

You all have the most track experience here and remember it is usually only one session in the morning where you are in the car, and we are getting DT separated from groups 1&2 to give you time to get ready to go out yourself.

having never done PI in anger myself I'm not qualified for it unfortunately.

So...who up for it?

Martin

Does anybody know what time scrutineering starts?

What about the driver briefing - what time is that suppose to be?

How about the first session, sighting laps. I presume that would start 9am but I'm not really sure.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
