No troubles, glad the tip worked out for you :)

And with not being able to change cars I have no idea why not, last year I thought people were able to change. Perhaps taken out in part of an update? Will look when I set up the next race to see if there is anything about it.

i have tried to change cars after entering the session before and it just won't let you. i think it's best to know which car you want to drive before you join the group practice!

A small turn out tonight for Phillip Island. But I'm sure the drivers had fun either way :) Here are the results -

Championship points for the SViRC stay the same as this was a no points round and the standings points in the iRacing league have been adjusted to suit.

Hope to see you all back next month for the next round of the SViRC :)

Keen to give this a go. Can I just jump in during the season?

You can indeed, just head to http://members.iracing.com/membersite/member/LeagueView.do?league=1089 and join up. Next race is on the 6th of May. See you on track then :)

I just applied keen to try my (not so good) skills!

use that link above to find the series page and join up, I'll add requests later tonight for people. Till then have fun and try not get to addicted to iRacing ;)

I think part of my problem is that I was overturning my wheel passed the cars lock, so once the car gripped after oversteering the entire corner, i couldnt rotate the wheel quick enough to correct and it would just throw the car into a spin. Need to play around to get the wheel 1:1, but limit the range to the car (somehow).

tyres on the car were well and truly stuffed by halfway through the race.

Ok so results for tonight's round are in. Congrats to Jonathan Gage who was a mile a head of the field and took first. Was a great race with plenty of action and lots of fun!!!

Looks like I'm out tonight, went to change car and couldn't get back in :(

Thankfully I was able to get back in!!! Couldn't change car though had to stick with the mx5. :( lol

I couldn't get in at all, Been tryingsince half past. it's been telling me I can race now when I click on Liams page but nothing happens. Can get into testing just fine :/

You need to go to the league page and join the race from there, find the session and after 8pm click the green steering wheel on the right.

iRacing leagues can be a bit confusing at times try a couple of times with other hosted/league races to get the hang of it.

Was a frustrating race for me! Span twice and came off at turn 3 and had to try and recover my position. Was too hard keeping up with you 3 leaders at the start.

What's with the ford randomly over steering massively mid corner! Was scary to push it

Is there any way we can change setup for these races or is it fixed?

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
