I'm sure there were a few guys like me that didn't have a nomination though as it was our 1st time there.

I was happy with the grouping, it was fun being able to pass people for a change instead of everyone passing me.

SAU-Vic should evaluate running with Alfa again for a c/ship round. Groupings were... poor. Can't get your monies worth if cars 20 sec/lap difference are all in the same groups!

Good day weather wise though and gotta love a Porka GT3 :D

The intention was actually to provide us with better value for money and 'fun' with everyone in the same group.

Evidently that didn't work.

If we do run another round with Neil, we'd be asking for speed based grouping.

Actually a pretty slow Alfa day, not too sure what the go was. They are generally pretty fast.

Watch this space, as Alfa do Broadford and I'd like to think we can run a mini championship with them next year.

Very happy with day. What times did everyone run? 1:31.1 for me.

1.31 for your first time is a great time Michael!

I was pretty pleased with that time. To be honest I though I would have been somewhere in the high 1:30's.

I'm pretty certain I could crack a high 1:20 with some more practice.

No doubt about good intentions - Just didn't work out all that great is all I was saying, so needs looking into :thumbsup:

Boardford would be quite interesting actually. SAU-Vic hasn't been there yet!

Actually felt quite dangerous to me... i'd imagine from slower cars points of view also. Miniwog's video above illustrates this pretty well...

I held back for a full lap, set it up so I had the entire straight empty and began a hot lap. By the time i was coming to the end of the back straight i was in traffic again :unsure: 8-20 seconds a lap difference to the rest of the field will do that...

I resigned myself to just having some fun and seeing what the car could do in sectors alone. Beating my pb (1.19.4) wasn't going to happen. After looking into the logs today i could see my fastest combined sectors were 1.19.008 so the track was ok grip wise, but overall disappointed i couldn't string a full lap together because of the speed differences in traffic. I did start one session in the front, but screwed up turn 1 because i didn't manage to get enough heat into the tyres following the Alpha pace car on the warm up lap.

The afternoon was even worse, i am pretty sure every session had a car off and stopped proceedings for 15-20mins of clean up multiple times. Colder temperatures had set in and the track's grip dropped sharply.

Still can't complain... as i got to do stuff in the car that would put you in jail most days of the week. And thats always a win :yes:

Excuse the video quality. Only learning how to put videos together haha

So this is my best lap of the day. Traction out of the corners seems to be a bit of an issue. BMW pulls away on most corner exits

Excuse the beep in the video that is my oil temp warning going off at 120c haha

Pretty tidy. More confidence (better tyres) into the corners and you'll smash time off that lap.

Tip, when youtube tells you the clip is shaky or dark and they can fix it. Say no. It ruins the video.

Can confirm I clicked yes to fix my shaky video.

Working on a better quality vid to upload. Still getting used to Adobe Premier and not sure what export file types to use etc...

Don't want to upload a 300mb file to youtube :/

I'm pretty sure it was the second or 3rd session I was in front of you.

Thanks for that, let me know if you find anything decent.

I was hoping to get some footage of flying past someone down the straight but I don't think I really past anyone from SAU.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
