Many of you have ticked the box on the membership form over the years…..so here comes the first in a series of Tech Nights!

Date: Friday 23rd September

Time: 6pm until 9pm

Location: 75 Long Street, Smithfield NSW 2164

Agenda:

6:00pm – Members arrive for finger food and drinks

6:45 – 7:00pm – Members are seated and ready for presentation

7:00 – 7:45/8:00pm – Tyres 101 training presentation including questions and prizes

8:00pm – 9:00pm – After presentation members are free to leave or stay for further questions and discussions

There are a series of these nights coming provided by our sponsors, so we have decided to cover the most fundamental item first – they are round, black and smokey, and we bet you have spent a fair bit on them over the years. But how do they work, what happens to them when you drive, and what should you look for when buying?

These nights are provided by our club partners for club members only; you are however welcome to join the club on the night.

It’s important to remember that while NTW are hosting the night, this is a technical discussion about tyres not a sales presentation.....so come along and learn about one of the most basic but important things on your car.

What if your not an SAU member (yet) and wanna go?

These nights are provided by our club partners for club members only; you are however welcome to join the club on the night.

You can join on the night, and quite frankly, if you attend events, the cost of membership is recouped veeery quickly.

OK, more good news for this evening.

The topics to be covered include:

• The basics – Learn the tyre “lingo” and find out what the markings on your tyres mean in plain English.

• Construction – Find out what’s on the inside of your tyres and how they are built.

• Treads – Compounds and designs – how they affect the way a tyre grips and responds.

• Tyre maintenance – Some tips you might know and some you probably don’t about getting the most from your tyres.

As well as feeding us, NTW have organised lucky door prizes and a tour of the 50,000 tyre warehouse. Also, attendees can enter the competition to have your car included in the upcoming Federal Tyre catalogue

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
