Not a bad day overall, only managed to beat my PB by 0.77 on the very last lap of the day. Seemed like the track was coming good towards the end as many of the best laps were that final session.

I'll be glad if I never hear another VTEC engine and no exhaust (seemed like it) at full song lol

We where scattered all over the place anyway.

Still a good day, just lacked the social aspect a little.

Lots of fun had on track esp when they combine group E and F (why I have no idea).

I just missed the airborn Pirus over the turn 10 exit curve.

Yeah - that last session was epic!

Really enjoyed following round the R33 (think the numberplates were JDM33), definitely quicker than me down the straights, but I was closing in under braking and probably about lineball around corners.

Weather was good, even if a little hot. Word for the day is VtechYo

My tyres were shot, so nothing but stuffing around and taking my uncle for laps... Was about a second off my normal pace, so wasn't much point pushing for times...

The last two session playing around with Richo was fun, I didn't get the gopro out all day, was a shame, because I spent a few laps there pissing myself laughing at some of the antics in the afternoon

Yeah wasn't quite the same, nothing like a free feed to get people together hehe

No airborne! Was being stupid and then remembered you lot were coming up fast, looked in the mirrors and it all went to shit lol. Think a few of us cut the grass over the day :)

Yo, nah Justin & Troy aren't members. Will do my best to convince them to join up though! Haha.

My RaceChrono tells me I did a couple of 1:45.1's, but I just couldn't manage a 44... next time!

I've seen posts indicating Calder has been dropped while PIARC round brought in, any chance to get the front page updated to clarify current plan.

Might also want to clarify if prior PI/Winton were a select round

That is what we discussed over pizza wasn't it?

Edit: You weren't at that meeting.....that would be why.

Yeah he wasn't there, he was 10mins away sitting on his couch.

But yeah - dropping 2 rounds... Maybe update the first post or something so it's clear for everyone

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
