I believe Nemo is gone well at least for this year.. Big discussion on the douche bag that helped take it to the wall so to speak :domokun:

So can someone give me (and others) the gist of what happened to Nemo?

Also, this maybe way old news but is anything happening with the HiOctane R34?

From what I heard/remember

The guy who owned Nemo never paid a cent for the work upfront

Then when people started chasing him for payment he bailed.

the transient response on the powertune car seems excellent

I'm skeptical for the ARK R32. I think they're putting too much value in theory and not enough in simplicity or reliability. I anticipate many small problems for them.

Hi lads,

I must agree with Fatz that the coin required to attend this event is insane. Definitely not something you want to attend if your after value for money track time. (I personally love the ARDC practice days and supersprints at SMSP as its the best bang for buck)...

Looking to continue flying the GTR flag this year for OPEN class at least. The BC Automotive GTR gave great inspiration to me last year whilst I was breaking holinger boxes... Dean Lillie has been working closely with the car this year as well.

As Brian mentioned, without sponsors - this event will only be a dream to compete in and be a part of. I personally love the team aspect that this event brings out. Thats what I have realised is required to try and be a podium contender. Engineer, tuner, mechanic, etc...

Last test this month will be on the 19th for me. It will be a full song wtac run. I have got my hands on a BW 9180. Initial testing has not lost much with the transient stuff.

Sub 1:30s is the benchmark I have set. Hopefully enough to fend of the EVOs ;)

:cheers:

    • 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
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • 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.
