Even with all those cars PIARC still moved through the groups at a rapid pace.

Good to see everyone around.

I hate two moments during the day, which in the end damaged the front splitter.

This on I was a little disappointed about as it could have been avoided with a little more consideration from the other car.

Chris and I were just crusing around on a cool down waiting for a gap, then blamb!

Woweee

Looks he just got in front of you then smashed the brake pedal lol

The day was fantastic, well worth the drive from Geelong, what an eye opener it was, good to get an insight before completely jumping into the deep end, hope to be entered in round 3. I got some photos, nothing fancy just lots of skyrice :)

HA!

skyrice :)

I had an alright day in the end with battling mechanical issues on the day but still managed to set a fairly respectable time of 1:56.6. Was slower than my PB but was still good to get back out there and have some fun.

Looking forward to Round 2 and hopefully the car will be sorted properly by then. :)

Damn that was a stupid move. What were they lapping at?

Gaad daaam ameriaaans.

I didn't do many laps, spent most of the time socialising.

The good lap that I did get in was a 1.44.4

Agreed... Totally stupid.

Was that Madden behind you as well Richo? Looks like he got put well out of place as well...

Could've easily been two cars fairly well destroyed because of nothing other than a total dick move.

Yeh Chris saw what was happening and bailed wide just in-case and went straight through the corner.

All the guy had to do was keep his inside line.

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who helped put the day togethter.It was good to catch up with people I hadn't seen for ages and check out their new toys.

Had an awsome couple of days and got the car home in one piece which is always good, Thanks Chris and the boys at Racepace.Hope to get to the next one

and do it all again. Cheers.

From natsoft I can see 23 SAU vic members, do we have any other SAU members who put themselves down under another club?

Yeah me! :)

I think I was in under PSCRV membership as I had that most handy at the time.

Sadly I didn't get a flying lap on Sunday (only Blaise got a session) but had a blast on Sat in the new little machine. Will be back out again soon.

:sick: Really happy I missed this one!

Haha if it makes you feel any better John, I don't have any GoPro footage to rub it in! But I'm sure the other guys can make up for it ;)

Actually I do! Damn GoPro battery died as I rounded the final corner on my next best lap (1:52.1504 vs 1:52.1412 so close enough!). A 51 seems so close...

Well I've had a lot of practice, that was my 13th day at the Island in 1.5yrs :D

Google Nexus wireless charger. Nexus 5 has metal discs in the chassis and charger has the magnets. Hasn't moved in daily driving, reefton runs or track.

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
