Will this be the year a rwd will take the top spot?

It will definitely be exciting this year, that's for sure. I'm not convinced that RWD will take the cake though. Its going to be an EPIC battle between MCA S13 and Scorch Racing S15 that's for sure!!

Tilton has been nice and quiet, like usual, just working away. They are making small changes to try and chase 1:23 ~ 1:22's, and given a clear track, They should be able to do it!

not sure what you mean about barrier to entry, but I'd guess you need to spend up to 200k to be competitive in Open and towards million(s) for Pro.

we've got some guys on here who are playing in the big league but I've never seen ballpark budgets from someone who's done it

nfi on entry, I've never considered it :) From where I sit it looks likely to be poor value $$$ per track minute...

I'm high 40s at Eastern Creek, but a more recent comparison was 1.06 at wakie...which left me 15th at the Nulon nats and approximately nowhere against serious time attack cars at 1.00 flat and quicker. It is definitely not the right sort of event for my budget, but it's great to watch other people spend money and come up with amazing cars and times.

i really love the die for a deadline/re mortgage the house storys/f**k i busted 3 holingers in one weekend from WTA

its even better when there is a days of our lives story along the way( nemo style)

ultimately once we have a public drug bust WTA will have finally hit the drag racing life

shit i am just impressed that people spend 2.5k for a set of rubber

Tyre company dose not have to pay or discount the cost for the tyres, find a sponsor that will buy you a set of tyres and put their stickers on the car. Due to the exposure that world time attack gets sponsors are more then happy to get on board to advertise. Some are not I do get a lot of no's, but you can only ask. Most of the guys are more than happy to help out where they can even if its small like $200 items they give you. I have got my entry paid for, tyres are paid for, Workshop dose tuning for free, Whiteline have supplied products for the car for free. Got a place to supply a HANS device to advertise on the car. Also have good discounts on other parts on the car.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
