S A U N S W - Texi, "the Original" @ Sutton Road

-2 is balmy.

some ppl got air, but you have to really push it. most of the time its just the suspension droop, and most of the time your survival instincts kick in and make you slow down for it...

how powerful is your car? you probably won’t get to 4th.

They used to do (still might, not sure) a quarterly event there on the skidpan, as far as I'm aware it was never the track though.

yep as I posted earlier (I think) they are running a Motorkhana on the vehicle manouvering (sp?) area on the Sunday. Pretty sure there wont be any more spots for that, they had 10 left a week ago. I'll be doing both :)

Oh and picked these up today, will be giving them a run on Saturday :D

A few questions after watching that video linked from page 1 for the 200th time:

  • does that bloke get air over the crest at one point in the first half of the course?
  • is the course going to be set up exactly like it is in the video?

I'm keen to know if we are going to see enough straight road to get into 4th gear at serious speeds.

Forecast for Saturday is looking good! -2 over night...shiver me timbers!

No air but car gets light depending on your approach speed. It's up to you how fast or slow you approach it.

No cones will not be exactly the same places as that video

4th won't happen on the straight unless you have mega power

i have mega power so hoping to hit 4th everytime round.

also going home hat in hand if i dont get air!

matt, there is a cruise thread for the drive down, i wont be able to head off till 4 from balmain thanks to gf's lame work.

Lol, well, here's one person going for times haha :D

Great stuff mate!!

Scott, don't worry so much! You'll live longer :D

There is a slow lap at the start where everyone goes in single file at a slow pace so you will be familiar with the track.

By mega power, I'm talking 420rwkw and upwards. I'd expect you to be in 2nd or 3rd for the whole run (of course with the exception of 1st at 7500rpm for the launch at the start)

Also that crest is like any crest you see in hilly parts of Sydney, for example the big one in Greenwich. You're not encouraged to go flat out over it and by doing so your time will be slower anyway so stuff that. If it's really bothering you I'll take you to it in the morning before runs start and drive over it myself with you in the car to demonstrate it's perfectly harmless when common sense is used :)

Hey,

I'm keen, can't believe i only just found out about this.

Are there any spaces left?

and is there any extra cost to get the appropriate cams license on the day?

Yes spaces left. Send the form and money today and you'll be fine.

There is no extra cost for the CAMS license other than the actual cost of the license (eg it costs you no more to do it on the day, but the license cost still has to be paid)

Hey guys,

Any chance of entering on the day? Only just remembered about it now. I've already got CAMS etc

Thanks

We prefer to not do entries on the day as it's pretty crazy for the volunteers in the mornings, and we are short a few volunteers for this, but if that's the only way you can do it.....

I'll help where possible, just pint and tell me, do such and such over there....

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
