Ok,

I have received no word back as yet from the HSV Club. Which means one of 3 things.

1. Its full and they cbf replying to me.

2. They are waiting until after the cut-off date for the cheap rates to reply so that they can try and make us pay more (I'm not paying $200)

3. They are scared we are going to kick their V8 asses and so don't want us there.

So forget the HSV day unfortunately. If we really want to eat some HSV's we should get on the ball early and get to Sandown next month. One thing I was thinking is that Phillip Island whilst really fast pretty much sucks for passing except on the straight and into turn 4. Sandown is a much better place for a Super Sprint set-up that the HSV Club do at the end.

Anyways....

So the next question is - what about the MSCA on Sat 18th? We have to decide today. I'm still keen if someone else is going to tag along. I can get 1 extra non NDSOC member along too.

that extra person is me :rofl: can you bring a for on Thursday? I'm a bit technology challenged down here :(

So chris - your keen for this coming MSCA yeah? If so sweet - will send in my form today.

Yeah i'm keen. Did you send your form off today? I will send mine tomorrow (Wednesday) if your definatly in.

Chris - yep sent my form in today. Duncan - I have also sent a form in for you as it has to be in by tomorrow (stupid 10 day rule).

Another topic - the entry forms for the Maserati Club are now available. If we are going to do this we should get our forms in ASAP!

Forms available here:

http://www.maserati.org.au/download/pdf-fi...y/san0410SR.pdf

No denhan - the year one is $83 or whatever it is. When you fill in the form there is a slip on the back that is valid for 30 days - this covers you until your real CAMS license comes in the mail.

If you come down to the meet on Sunday I can sign you up for a CAMS license.

I'll be out with u lads soon enough.  Nearly back on the road...defect nearly cleared :) so hopefully in the next 4 wks i'll be back on the road after a long vacation in the garage :lol:

Its about time another 32 GTST joined in on the shaninigans, drifto, FAT32 and me are about the only guys i have ever seen out there :Oops:

This shall be a Track Day of extraodinary magnitude....you have my gratitude :cheers:

...oh, and if i cant give my target time a nudge, my boss is coming to have a bash in my car, so at least ill know what time the car is capable of :rant:

Incase you guys didn't know yet the results from the PIARC weekend are finally up on their website.

Some interesting points:

1. They took Adz's last session off him. No 1.58 for you boy. That'll teach ya to use cheater tyres. haha.

2. BRI 58Y could only manage a best time of 2.24.52 - and he reckon's 1.25's at Sandown?

3. I do get a trophey :) But they expect me to get it on Grand Final weekend :D

I was looking at those phillip island results, just wondering why Troy and geoff have their cars entered in class H for modified cars over 3 litres? I would have thought that a RB20 should be in class C for standard cars up to 3000cc or at least in the same class as Snowman over 3000cc?

Is it because Troy has a high mount turbo setup?

:)

Interloper - yeah it was due to the fact that both of those guys have aftermarket turbo's plus other things where as my and the other guys cars are reasonably stock other than say suspension, ecu and exhaust.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
