Time to start a thread to collate all the info on teams, rumours and what not. Despite Fatz running a breakaway superlap competition, I reckon WTAC 2012 should be bigger and better than ever.

Hopefully more international crews will make the trip if rumours are correct.

No doubt there will be more crazy local cars in all classes.

We will be there again in the R35, in the hope of significantly improving on last year.

Dates confirmed as 10th and 11th of August.

Plenty of info and rumours already appearing around the internet.

Ill be in the stands and pits yelling and grinning as usual, looking at the grid girls and stealing stickers, I hope they get some good Tshirts too as last years were non existant, 2010 were rubbish and fell apart but the 2009 ones are still going strong.

Good luck with your builds guys, hope everyone goes well.

Is it August yet ?????

Looking forward to it already! I'll be there again. Hopefully a few more aero mods and maybe lean on the motor a bit more to get more straight line speed :) might try some 295s if they fit ;) aiming for a 39 although that will probably just be good enough for mid pack these days!

* in before bitter lemon(s).

Dates might work in my favour this year so should be able to make finally the trip up for the first time.

Usually miss out as it's peak work period, however the schedule looks to start the week after :w00t::w00t:

Be interesting to see what cars/teams come out, and more importantly what do the local heros have. First year of building their specific car for a lot of people so hopefully they are even more competitive on the world stage :yes:

ok so regurgitating the obvious wesite stuff but for those who arent subcribed on FB or troll the web:

WTAC CEO Ian Baker and message for 2012

and in case you didnt read it above, Cyber evo and Sierra Sierra evo have retired.

Takizawa-san (the Dentisit who owns the cyber evo - background as an engineer) is planning an R35 for competition in 2013 if rumours are correct.

Not sure how the 'Global time attack series' over there is going. If it is anything like the world series of baseball though I reckon an american will be odds on favourite to win it lol

LOL wow gotta laugh @ that Mark :D

Indeed that's the thing about American Leagues, they are against Americans. Who of course... Are the best at everything :rolleyes:

The thing is, they do have some fast cars I would love to see over here other than the retired SSE evo. I hope the rumours of some other cars coming over are true, will wait to see what unfolds.

The US series tyre regs seem to be different though and available tyre sizes are therefore greater. They dont seem to think much of the Japanese time attack tradition of limiting to semislicks.

Yeah that's the distinct impressing going by those posts without a doubt.

I mean "2 laps and the tyres are dead"... Well... That's kinda what a 1-lap dash is about I would've thought?

Would be interesting to see them over here as well. Perhaps a few more might have their interest tickled.

It's like anything though, gotta work within the confines.

Wasn't this car and the gst wrx coming last year but pulled out leaving Ian with the bill? stuff the yanks if they pull those ones and i reckon Ian would want to make them put up the cash up front and then pay em when they arrive.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
