Just by way of comparison (& maybe to give some people an aiming point) have a look at the following times from the speedeventseries held at Wanneroo in December last year. There are times available for both the short & the long circuits. :D

There is a four wheel drive class as well a heap of others.

If anyone has been bitten by the motor racing bug the next event is at Wanneroo on the short course in February.... The calender is on www.speedeventseries.com

For one, I wouldn't mind the company. There were only three GT-R's there last time which itself was an improvement...

Just remember, you don't get faster sitting at home on the play station. :)

Dont forget those times above will have been done on slicks ;)

You can cut approx 4 seconds from your time running a set of R-Comps.....

Um, it was Scott's first go & he was running on road tyres. Not sure about four seconds, but R compounds certainly do help your lap speed. Point is to go out and have fun. The SES mob are as friendly, interested & helpful bunch of people as you will come across. So get involved!

Was'nt really talking about his time specifically, but most of the other catorgories represent there would have been ;)

Most of the cars running in the Speedeventseries use R compounds. There is just about every type of car entered - the only notable absentees tend to be FPV & HSV's. Point is that it is a great way to get you & your road car involved in competition.

Having said that Gary Wests' F4000 Lola wasn't on R compounds - he used slicks to break both course records. How does 46.44 seconds for the short course & 52.26 for the long course sound?

I dont think Ill be able to keep up with that, But we think we know why my car was letting out some smoke so hopfully before the next event ill have it tuned and running Higher boost like to see how much quicker ill be then ;D

Official results are up :(

I could'nt agree with DJR81 more as this is my favourite form of motorsport and would love to get involved, but for now I will not be returning until I have a set of R-Comps.

Almost did'nt pass scrutineering with my tyres on the night, did'nt realize they were so bad, probably most of the reason my car was somewhat of a handfull! :cheers:

So did no one get any pictures...? :)

I was one of the non-Skyline drivers from the night and I'd like to say thanks for all you guys coming down. 1/3 of all the cars were skylines, and without that support, the night probably wouldn't have gone ahead. I had an absolutely fantastic night even though I only come 24th in a field of 25 (Only had an NA 1.6L). It was great to hear the sounds of the skylines roaring down pit straight.

Oh and the 1:02 from the Evo IX was done by the instructor, not by the driver Steve :P

It was quite a show one of you guys put on with the sparks from brakes :)

Leaning over the barrier watching your car go past was good too.

Sounded very throaty that's for sure.And looked pretty quick to me too.

Made my daughter want to have a go in her new Impreza RX.

Maybe I can talk her into it.

Having fun and improving your skills at the same time is the main aim.

ill sort out the footage from the roof cam and post it asap

cheers

Thought I saw a car with a roof cam there... :P

Heres some footage of Franzs 300zx going round the short curcuit.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
