I'm not aware of another day in our calendar, so presuming will be entering the WRX day 16th Aug?

The site shows 95 spaces, but just received an email stating 20 spots left - not sure what is going on there either?

:thumbsup:

BTW For those new to this year's season, probably a good idea to review the SAU classes - first page of http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/437292-2014-sau-vic-motorsport-championship/

and advise emts & miniwog of your expected class.

Also on the day, there tends to be an SAU hang out, look out for the SAU flags, motorsport shirts etc and pop in to say hi.

Yeah send the info this way and I'll get the updated spreadsheet out a day or so later.

f**k me when did the prices skyrocket...thats more than PI...

WRX round at Sandown in March was $205. Their one around same time last year was $195 but SAU round was with AROCA last August and that was $210/230/250 depending on the date you entered.

The real issue is when they go for the cash grab like they did in March and again at Winton with PCV and over subscribe the day. I'd rather spend another $20 and get a decent run rather than save it and get f**k all laps.

Seems to be quite a few 200sx's joining track days in Vic... Great stuff. I'll be coming back to the track next year, looking forward to mixing it up with you guys :)

Start the diet now, so you can fit in the seat :yes:

Re prices: seems $215 for non members, $185 WRX members and $275 is for their race series

Though I tried to check the number of entries and the link doesn't seem to be open now, full?

Richo, not sure I'm going to enter next year if you require entrants to be dead :-)

I'm trying to enter but (after logging in with my wrx username/password) it looks locked down?

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
