What a great day had an absolute ball

Well done to all the guys who competed unlucky with the weather, surprised myself with that time hahaha

Big thanks to the guys that made the trip up to come and show support for the club really appreciate the support

Can't wait for the next one!!!

Great vids keep them coming!!

Great day watching some pretty damn impressive machinery; had pretty much every kind of weather except snow today!

Seeing the cars belt up the hill through T2 & T3 was spectacular!

Saw a bloody epic launch from you before the rain set in Nick; great stuff. ;)

Well done to all the competitors & organisational staff; and to everyone who came out for the day.

The highlights for me had to be the Blown XY that you could hear from everywhere as it slid it's way up the hill; and the Aurion V6 powered AE86 that drifted the course quicker than some cars were driving normally.
That & the Green Clubsport with the side exit. epic boganmobile.

Took vids...

Well done guys!

This old fellah has to drop off minidisk to Eric as I forgot yesterday.

Talking about old phogies I counted at least a dozen older than me yesterday. Boy did I feel good!

Thanks to everyone for heading up to support the club team today.

It was a great event, shame it finished a bit early due to the big storm. Lots of quick cars although some of the fancy time attack did not end up at the pointy end of the field.

1st was heafy's evo, 2nd fernance evo, 3rd mckinnon.

Our guys came home:

Nick 8th 41.24

Brian 11th 42.32

Matt 30th 46.63

Me 32nd 46.75

Maurice 41st 51.38

Well done for everyone giving it a go in tricky conditions, and from me particular thanks to Neil for handing over Cheryl's keys when I couldn't get ready in time.

And most of all, good on Nulon for putting this event together, looking forward to the next round at wake on 4 July

Was crap conditions and a shame we only got 1 sighting lap and 2 wet runs BUT it was still great fun and great to hang out with you guys! We enjoyed it!

Where else can you rip an epic skid next to a HWP car :O lol

Yes, was a shame that too few got dry runs. The field might have changed if that had happened.

I am pretty damn sure it would have changed the day... I guess it was just pot luck! Group 1 had the better luck for the first run but Group 2 definitely had the advantage for the 3rd and final run! Luckily we had the Guru Nick running in the opposite group :yes: I would have had another crack in the wet if they had let us but they called it a day :(

Big thanks for Nulon for putting the event on, shame I never got a quick dry run, my very first run in the dry was the quickest while still finding where the road went, next two run had a wet track which was a bugger, But ready to go for next year now I know the track :)

Yep my first run was the quickest time of the day too which was a bit sad as i was cruising and lost lol

The quickest speed of the day was on the 3rd run...

I was looking forward to the 35 giving the Evos a run for their money :D Oh well i am sure you will at Wakie ;)

Nice work Ciaron! Apart from that fat basterd in the pic :P

Nicks car is looking tough!

I can't believe you'd talk about Eric like that... :whistling:

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
