Well, we had our first official event, and it was fantatsic, we had an excellent turnout of about 20 cars entered, wide variety of skylines, as well.. from an R31 coupe to a 700bhp GTR.

A huge thanks to everyone who attended, and its great to see things are starting to pick up for skylines australia.

To check out some of our results check this thread

Hopefully some of the other states can follow our lead and get some events underway and show that SAU will be strong, calder park raceway was pleased at the support we had!

Again, Thanks all!

nobody told us we were meant to meet afterwards.

:D

In fact, nobody (including the Calder staff) had a clue about anything...

We weren't told until about 1:30 that we shouldn't have been sitting where everyone was sitting...

that the area was for 'drivers only' (shouldnt the drivers be in their cars??)

People who were with us were refused access to the infield, and told that they were only allowed into particular areas, and that was only if they had purple pit crew bands.

I ended up giving my purple band to someone so they could get back in.

There was no burnout comp which was a disappointment....

I vote that if we do this again, we do it at Heathcote. :uh-huh:

      It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.

      Yeah I've personally seen the RB26 pull 30 degrees of ignition timing out of the base timing map if the ECU detects a cold start, it nearly starts misfiring because of it around 2000 rpm and it feels like the engine has no power. I'm just surprised that modern OEM control strategies are actually trading off efficiency for in-cylinder emissions. I would expect something like aggressive EGR dilution + tumble generation valve use to improve EGR tolerance to reduce in-cylinder NOx + HC from crevice volume while also reducing throttling loss vs pulling out some timing if not knock-limited.

      You're more than welcome to - looking forward to meeting you!!  The turnout depends on the event and location... Pizza Runs on a clear night can drag out a decent crowd!
