Hey guys,

I've entered for the Sunday now as well and looking forward to getting back out at PI and competing in the championship this year.

For those who don't know me yet I've got a VX SS Commodore with an N/A LS1 putting out around 310rwkw and I ran a 1:54.9 last time at PI. :)

Haven't entered yet but I will at some point.

Anyone else going for the first time?

At the briefing they usually ask if there are any first timers. Just let them know and they'll either do a parade lap at low speed or get an experienced driver to passenger with you on the first session.

Yep PIARC days they group you on times and shuffle groups during the day on times

Didn't think they did at the last one, might depend on how many entries and the time spread?

They might factor in the car class for groupings along with specified time. Both are on the My Car page on www.meecamsau.com. Most people would be E-H?

Motorsport Information

Group 5 Sprint Class 

STANDARD CAR CLASS
Class A - Up to 1600 cc
Class B - 1601 to 2000 cc
Class C - 2001 to 3000 cc
Class D - over 3000 cc

MODIFIED CAR CLASS
Class E - Up to 1600 cc
Class F - 1601 to 2000 cc
Class G - 2001 to 3000 cc
Class H - over 3000 cc

RACING CAR CLASS/SPECIALS
Class I - Closed Racing Cars up to 2500cc 
Class J - Closed Racing Cars 2501cc over
Class K - Open Racing Cars. All Capacities

actually most of entrants would be in A-D

E-H are those with engine swaps, stripped down with aero work...think richo's skyline.

Classes A, B, C & D are for road-registered cars using generally road-going equipment only. All cars using racing
tyres, or slicks, will be classified as specials, as will be excessively modified road cars. The organisers reserve the
right to re-classify cars, following vehicle scrutiny. For full details of modifications allowed in each class see Group 5
Speed Event regulations. The organisers reserve the right to amalgamate classes if in their opinion entries are
insufficient to warrant a separate class.

I'm in Class H with my car when I compete at PIARC events...

Anyone that is entered and/or spectating - Please post up to confirm you are coming.

Also if you are doing a single day OR the two days (there is Prac on Sat some are attending).

I need to know for catering purposes for lunch of Steaks/Skewers and the like over the two days.

Thanks in advance!

I just put down Modern 2WD for the meeca site lol.

f**ked if I know TBH... I just put down the laptimes section though, I think that would hold far more relevance.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
