Well since Oran has been cancelled:mad:, how about a drive down to Wakefield Raceway.

For $80 (+$30 for those without a licence) we can take our pick of the the following dates:

- Thu 20th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Fri 28th Feb, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

- Tue 4th March, Open Practice/No Speed Limit Day - Cars Only

OR my pick :

- Sat 8th March, No Speed Limit Day - Street Cars Only,

I suspect the weekend is best as many of us work, also there wont be any formula cars or GTP cars to worry about, only street cars.

Also being 4 weeks away gives us a little more time to confirm roll call. I will call Wakefield middle of next week to confirm calender is unchanged from that on their website, and confirm $80 for weekends as well

For those that havent been to a Wakefield open day before, they are a great opportunity to get plenty of track time. 20 minute sessions are run all day for several classes/groups of cars based on speed and experience.

First timers should have no concerns driving around Wakefield. Speeds arent too daunitng and its a fun little track. That said you are still travelling at increased speeds so be sure car is checked, and you have the usual long sleeve shirt, pants and an approved helmet.

Helmets can be hired on the day for $20, requiring a $50 deposit. Those who dont have a Wakefield licence or need to renew last years remember to bring an additional $30

When i call mid week to confirm the day is still as per their website i will enquire about passengers and the like, as from memory only time another is allowed in vehcile is if either occupant is being tutored :starwars:

I just hope you know that Wakefield hold a weekend open day once in a blue moon, and every man and his dog heads down there for these open days.

I hope you guys like lining up :P

every man and his dog heads down there for these open days.

The last Saturday i went to at Wakefiled there was probably only 20 road cars, then there was about another 15 formula style & GTP cars.

Ill concede that the weekdays are the best for having the track to yourslef, but im not so sure every open day that falls on a weekend gets packed to the rafters. Other then this particular Saturday ive really only been to weekday open days.

Hmmmmm, not me

I'm not keen on lining up either... If I had it my way (and was rich enough) I would pay the $10,000 hire fee for a track and take you all along... but that aint gonna happen unless I win the lottery!

I'll be going down that day for sure.

I've got a 6 hour race there the weekend after, so I may be hiring a car for practice.....anyone got an underpowered fwd they want to loan me? :P

Also, wakefield is only 2,500ish to hire :D

20 of us @ $125 each, we can hire the whole track! (something to think about!)

i am only 50% - i may or may not have a car ... i might just ride with brendan (if thats cool?) ..

NEED SOME TIME ON THE TRACK!

So, who's coming down on the 8th.

Me and perhaps 2 others are coming down with the skyline and a suzuki swift to thrash, anyone else in, and when / where should we meet for the cruise down?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
