Fri 14&29th Oct Drive Day, At The Creek $120


Recommended Posts

yep, it was a nice day. Neil I though i saw your car there, as i rocked up i saw/heard this little rotor powered Sports Sedan cruise along the pit apron (i was on the other side of the garages so only caught a glimpse). maybe your missus was out for a day of fun without you?? can you account for your cars whereabouts on friday?

my friends timed me for a few sessions but i wasn't really happy at all with the tyre grip or the brakes and the missfire was sh1tting me too. but i still was a second or 2 quicker than last time, which was a little bit pleasing considering how 'green' the track was and how much traffic we were driving through. certainly plenty of passing going on and i was very impressed with Aaron on his first day at the creek, good to see some experimentation with using different gears and braking points paying off.

i had a great day!!! thanks richard and paul for all the tips they really paid off! besides running out of brakes and distroying my tyres i was very happy with how my car held up.

very keen for another day but not to sure about a saturday though

damn that sucks normally Eastern Creek is pretty safe from a low speed off, I guess you visited the same place as roy, outside of turn 9 (hairpin coming down the hill?). Hope its easy enough to fix :(

Ouch yogi hope the cars okay. Bloody wet grass wouldn't have helped either.

Beer Baron,,,I wonder if Mel's been holding out on me and has a spare gearbox hiding in the dogs kennel.

N1GTR,,,cams has a turn around of 6 days on licencing so you will have in time.

Neil.

Yogi came off between 4 & 5, it happened right in front of aaron and myself. He drifted out wide on the exit of 4 and attempted to re-gain the line into 5, keeped the power on a little long and over steered off the track into the tyre wall. Baddly worn tyres were the contributing factor I think.

Yogi, let usknow how the repairs go.

Beer Baron,,,I wonder if Mel's been holding out on me and has a spare gearbox hiding in the dogs kennel.

Dog box in the dog kennel perhaps? makes sense to me!

oh, on the grass note they have been tidying the track up for the A1 GP and have laid bits of astro turf on the outside of some of the turns which is nice. bit more room there for those 'OMG i'm running wide at the exit' moments. grips better than the concrete bits too i reckon.

Ahh yeah I had a similar event there one day but was lucky enough not to keep it off the wall. 

so you did hit the wall? and that was lucky? i'm confused :)

yogi btw mate if you are looking at somewhere to get your car fixed try sydney central smash. they have done top work on 2 of my cars and many of my friends cars.

Speak to Tony, 9319 6044 feel free to tell him i reccomended you go there. it will make him feel all warm and fuzzy no doubt :P

cool what time is it on til and how much does it cost to watch?

EC don't charge specs on track days buddy,,,not like that crap-hole oran park. You gotta love the ARDC. Make sure you pop into my garage and say hello. It won't be hard to find me,,,I'll be in the noisey rotor powered Capri.

Neil.

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • 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 😂
