Yeah mate - we can do it all on the day if you like. Just get there a bit early.

I'm already signing a couple of others up in the morning as well. So if you are keen send off one of the entry forms and where it asks for a CAMS license number just put in there TBA.

Nuts! Snowie, any chance you can squeeze me in? I'll join SAU vic just for this if I have to! I'm DYING to get out on the track.

Roy said you were a track Junkie. Maybe we can form a support group.

Hi, I'm Geoff and I'm a Track Junkie. I have been cold the sphincter of the universe for 6 months :sob: and I'm really struggling.

Sweet. So I still have to get in contact with the WRX club to confirm a placing?

Hahaha! I'm beyond a junkie. Missus calls me a 'track day wh0re'. But I'll gladly join the "track junkies anonymous" support group.

I'm Toulia and I'm a track junkie. My wife left me because I remember every single corner of the race track but forget out childrens names.

Yeah the first post in this thread contains the information to enter. We don't actually have any influence or anyting with these track days - we just use them as the basis of our own club championship.

So if you want to enter you have to do it all through the WRX Club. I can just get you the club membership and the CAMS license no worries.

Im looking at driving down tomorrow...but if you have other plans give me a bell on 0408 409 068, a convoy makes the drive a lot easier...plus with work continuiong to dictate my life then my plans always seem to chnage..

Faxed my papers to WRX club and now waiting.

I'm heading down on Friday night. I'm travelling with a convoy. I've got a soccer tornament to play on Sat and Sun. I'll play Sat but I'll give the final (if my team gets that far) a miss.

Track day > soccer grand finals.

I'll just tell them I got wasted on Sat night and woke up at 3pm in the afternoon. hehehe...

I drove my car again for the first time in a long time with the plugs gapped and the evc5 hooked up. Seems to be going ok but I was wondering what sort of fuel pressure reg to use because I have heard from a lot of people that malpassi regs are s**t. Also hope I can get the car dyno'd on saturday morning just to be safe. Should be a good day if it doesn't rain. See you all there.

I see Crazy Frank has been added to the all-star line up for this clubsprint ;)

Looks like all the big guns are coming out for this one, Ben's GTR, Nigel's Supra, Frank's GTR, Jack's bling bling GTR, and of course Andrew's first time attack at this circuit since his turbo upgrade now pushing over 300kw at the treads ;)

This will be a ripper event, for both drivers and spectators! Hoping the weather is good for it :wassup:

There's also Chris's GTR, Aarons GTR and Gareths first time out in his GTR. Honestly I will be doing well to keep these 3 behind me for the day.

Also I'm looking forwards to seeing which ever of Geoff's toys come (both hold a certain appeal) and am really looking forwards to seeing how Lee Wilson stacks up against the busted up 32 special. Lee Wilson's car was super impressive last outting at Winton so he will be a good carrot for the mad Welshman.

Snowie, much as I would like I'm not racing. At this stage I'm not allowed to track the GTR (at THIS stage), and I have guests all weekend so I'll drop in to watch a bit and support the team.

Straight off I think it's good for 4 seconds at Sandown over my best time of 1:31. Power FC and semis, even more will come off that but I may never get the opportunity with my current schedule to leave.

Going over tonight to hopefully finish it off. So will be ready either tonight or tomorrow. All the bits are done just have to put it together.

So no Supra drives for me. Unless Nige wants to let me use it for a session! LOL (I know you read this thread Nige! haha!)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
