Shit yeah :) i'm in, my Tein is already on its way to queensland. Just need to save for tyres and a service.

hehehe...not just yet Snowie :) I figure I'll finish this championship in the class I started in and maybe upgrade before next year.

I noticed the numbers were really down last round...not just in std class but across the board......COME ON PEOPLES - GET YOUR BALLS OUTTA YOUR MUMS HANDBAG AND JOIN TEAM WANG ON THE TRACK B)

Does anyone know where i can get a decent set of 245/17 and which brand to get?

I'm not after S03 or anything fancy like that, any ideas? Something that last me for our last two rounds, no stickie needed as i dont' want to carry too much speed into conner either, can't afford an engine rebuild yet.

Thanks

Hey andrew have you guys got a championship ladder like the rex guys? , it would be good to see what times your cars are doing . Ive got the VL commo thats at most of the events and during the last winton their was a TX5 that was part of the group i was in which i noticed was running in the 41's . Is that for real ? cause my dad owns one of these and this thing must be a weapon in a straight line or the driver is very very gifted.

LOL...the TX5 driver had his transponder in a certain members GTR. I think he normally is in the low 1:50s approx

As for championship, yeh we have one going but we are still needing to work on numbers...to get an idea of the lap times see here

Bec just pointed out this is on a Sunday...anyone up for the Friday - Practice day, Sat-Skiing, Sunday-Sprint?????

And West, Falkenb 451 or the street pattern Azeni arent too bad a tyre and reasonably priced :)

But word of warning, i discovered early on in the piece that near new road tyres dont liek track work purely because of the trad depth and the tyre blocks getting warm and walkign around. So if your current road rubber is legal then have a play with that then get the nice road rubber for the street.

Perhaps Ant/INASNT can give you an idea of the tyres they used this year and how they stood up :)

That is funny, I hadnt realised what was going on! :)

Bec - Thanks for the thought :D I might stick to timing, photography and accompanying mavric on his "must eat all hot dogs from the burger bar" missions.

For anyone thats interested in the current club championship standing - including all the results and times so far I've attached a copy.

Please keep in mind this championship is for SAU Vic members only.

West maybe try one of those 2nd hand tyre joints that a few people go to. I'm yet to try them but a mate has got some cheap tyres from there a few times, SP2's etc... I know Geoff gets his tyres from one as well. Your size tyre should be easy to get a decent set.

Where is it Ferni? Do i see you at Winton this round?

Perhaps  Ant/INASNT can give you an idea of the tyres they used this year and how they stood up :blink:

My rear tyres (Hankook Silica 104's) are stuffed and have big chunks of rubber coming off them after each track day. The fronts show evidence of alot of walking around from the near new tyres I used for my first rack day last year at sandown.

All in all a waste to use new street tyres on the track.

Where is it Ferni? Do i see you at Winton this round?

Don't know sorry, do a search I'm sure skylinegeoff has mentioned it a few times, along with some other people, there is more than one place... if you can't find one drop me a pm and i'll ask my mate for you.

INASNT: I have the same tyres on my car - hankooks - 4 track days and i think about 20,000ks on my hankooks and still going... no chunks missing, and still another 10,000ks on them i recon. Mustn' be driving hard enough.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
