Thats the spirit. I like you already!

What's not to like?

Can't wait for this.

Is there any shelter on site, or are umbrellas going to be popular?

My best attempt at skids

We bring shelter, basically the officials on the course will all have shelter (so the event doesnt stop due to rain) and then the rest of it is put up for spectators so they can still watch whats going on. Usually takes a bit of setting up in the morning, you'll see us setting up in the morning. If it rains, drivers stay in their cars between runs and passengers just get a bit wet haha

Small note to anyone coming with a GTR;

If you want to launch, thats perfectly fine and it's encouraged because a)i think it looks cool and b)Texi's are off the streets so you can enjoy this kind of car legally. The courses are designed so you can launch if you want, if you dont want to launch, thats fine too - it isnt mandatory. The start gates for "launchable" (yes thats a word now) maps all have straights in front of them. Please dont launch with any steering angle applied (eg, only launch with the front wheels pointing straight), launching with steering angle applied is a big stress to the stock sump and they do get damaged. Launching is perfectly safe, in a straight line.

Also, It's a smart idea to overfill your sump by a litre or so of oil.

If you find yourself understeering big time (car not turning as far as the wheels are pointed and you're foot is on the accelerator), back off the throttle and this will help you get around the cone.

There will be help there on the day if anyone wants it for basic tips and tricks etc

Most important thing though? Have fun, thats what we're there for!

Thanks for the tips.

Really cant wait for this event.

TEXI in the rain was fun like the last time my car ran. Check the you tube vid from texi last year (the one with the shuffle song) abd watch my blue GTST

almost beat the 34 GTR :) wet weather a big equaliser ;) I got me a good wet weather jacket for marshal duties this time lol.

looks like you blew a turbo, he he he he he.but srsly, gtr=awesome skiddage, yep, skiddage is now a word.youre welcome.

HAHA nar just a 2wd/4wd switch, people who drive 2wd have skill :/

Why my damn youtube link not work.

P.S limiter bashing is good to lol

I have one that can multiply the standard signal sent to the attessa ecu.

Even on the street in the wet, you can feel the difference.

Turn it up, and its nearly like youre driving in the dry again.

Will obviously vary the feeling dependant on the power you are running.

If youre coming to texi, jump in with me, and have a feel.

Especially if its raining.

If the brakes are fixed mid week on my GTR it's a big possibility. Won't be entering but would appreciate co-pilot for a run or 2.

GTR's booked in on the Monday to get the suspension set-up properly.

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
