After the last EOI (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/416591-eoi-simworld-2013/#entry6688024) died I'd see if we can organise another SimWorld event!

So - We (SAUWA) is thinking of holding another Social Event at Simworld in Carousel after the huge success of the previous events. Everyone had a great time at the last couple events although there have been a couple inflicted with motion sickness so its quite a ride

For those who don't know what SimWorld is check it out at http://www.simworld.com.au/ These are full simulators, where you get thrown about etc, nothing like anything you've done before.

The general format of the event is:

Group 1 - 5min Practice - Course 1
Group 2 - 5min Practice - Course 1
Group 1 - 10min Race 1
Group 2 - 10min Race 1
Group 1 - 5min Practice - Course 2
Group 2 - 5min Practice - Course 2
Group 1 - 10min Race 2
Group 2 - 10min Race 2
Group 1 - 5 min practice - course 3
Group 2 - 5 min practice - course 3
Group 1 - 10min Race 3
Group 2 - 10min Race 3
Final - 15min Race (combined results from Race 1, 2, 3 & 4 will determine who is in the finals)
* Minimum race time should be about an hour
** Comes with food supplied by Nandos or we can have pizza plus we can have BYO drinks
*** Group size is 9, as there are 9 Simulators

Note:
The costs approximately $65 if we choose nandos or pizza or $50 without food but I would imagine majority will want food so everyone will have to pay $65

The a full race simulators, not simple arcade games, so it will definately be an experience.

Friday nights we will get the longest time on the machines for our money and its been convenient for most people in the past. Maybe the 13th or the 20th of September might be a go-er?

Please register your interest ASAP, so we can make this event happen. Please invite family members (friends, wives, older kids etc), as all Simulators are equal, and doesn't require a drivers license We'd like to have this filled with SAUWA Members and there familys/friends, but seeing as we didn't get enough interest I'll open it up to the rest of SAU from the get go.

So far

* Trevz
* Lachy (Hank Scorpio)

* Gary

* Damo (Frosty)





Cheers
Hank

Sorry about the lack of replies guys, that's completely my fault, I do apologize.

"We have moved the machines down to the Albany Amusement Centre (formerly Albany Ten Pin Bowling)"


So SimWorld seems to be a no go, any other ideas you guys would like me to look into?

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
