Nirimba?

Quakers Hill near Blacktown Matt.

Not really my thing Steveo, I really enjoy the Sutton type stuff but I find Nirimba a bit meh. Sorry, just me............waits for flaming

That's why I very rarely do skids, just don't see the point and also can't afford that much rubber all the time ;)

Fair enough!

It's designed for people to try and do the best time through the course just like Sutton, the difference is at Sutton there's no skids, at Nirimba it's perfectly allowed if the driver wants to do it during their run and smoke the place up.

Matt this is Nirimba. Not as fun as Sutton but it's still great to get the bug out of your system. Most of the guys who go will bring 2 spare wheels and rubbish tyres from their local tyre shop (usually free) so they stuff the free rubber and then have their normal tyres/wheels safely tucked away and not worn out

Ah here's the video I wanted, this is a video made by Eric, sort of gives you a better idea - it's not a burnout comp, there's just a lot of smoke. This is the next club event btw people - entry thread up soon!

Here's what it looks like when you care about your time and dont just muck around

Here is me at Texi answering the big question NOBODY asked! Can you drift a 2004 Subaru Liberty 3.0R?

The answer is no :(

Rwd has to chose between launching or corner speed..

Soften damper on the rear and back off the rear swaybar, if your pro enough u can pre load ur clutch so it doesn't shock the tyres as much

LOL fatz

was that you filming her and vica versa? if so then while your quicker off the line she is far and away a better camera operator! nice little pan down to the kid at the end jenna!

Sweet! Well i better keep the spare 17's i have in the shed then :D

where have you been?

nirimba, at quakers hill, at the tafe, most awesome of awesome skids day????

and thats july, we can fit sutton in again before then.

I've been NOWHERE!! Litereally.... Car has been off the road for a very long time, but its FINALLY coming back on the road as soon as the boys at JEM finish with it :woot:

yep, got 4 spare rims with 7 tyres (3 on rims, 4 not). AWWW YEAH

I don't think swaybars do much until you load up a corner or side of the car. I think they do little to nothing to influence traction in a straight line

saw the pics and vids on facebook, looked like an awesome event.

ps: anyway possible to speak with the track owners/insurance to allow ext gate at track days :)

if not then looks like i can only be apart of it if you guys need help on the day.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
