Last month the final round of the Kumho Lap Battle championship was completed. Over the 3 rounds we visited Wakefield Park twice and Eastern Creek to wrap it all up in the company of the WRX Club and Evolution Oz. The variety of cars that attended was great, everything from lightly modded street cars through to some pretty serious machines that you might have seen at WTAC earlier in the year. The points were close and the winners were not set in stone until the last event was over and the drivers packed up for the trip home.

All of this wouldn't be possible without the entrants so thank you to those that attended even 1 event. To those who couldnt make it or were hesistant, we hope we can see you on the track next year.

The event was generously supported by Kumho Tyres through Fsport. That support means the three class winners will take home a $1000 voucher towards Kumho Motorsport Tyres. The sponsorship also saw 6 winners take home round prizes with a $500 credit towards tyres. I cant speak highly enough of John from Fsport's willingness to support club level motorsports so if you are in the market for motorsport tyres give John a call on 1300 4 KUMHO or jump on www.fsport.com.au to check for the latest specials.

The class winners are:

Open - Greg Boyle

Club - Ben Kirker

Street - Michael Hill

Congratulations to the winners!

thanks for putting these results together....and congrats on SAU members for taking out all 3 classes :cheers:

(now....all of you enter the SAU track day on 17/12....if we don't support the events I don't think the club will be able to keep running them :( )

I think the performance between the two clubs was a good match and a lot of fun. RENEW pulled second in each category so we'll keep the winners on their toes :thumbsup: We're working on our events for next year and will be in touch with the SAU NSW committee to see if there are any mutually beneficial opportunities to go racing together next year. I'm sure a greater SAU presence would be welcomed if we can get back to Eastern Creek in a multi club event.

Agreed, and I hope the SAU committee has some track events next year for everyone (SAU and RENEW) to enjoy. I guess it depends on how much effort they focus on the Ashnats vs running events for the members.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
