The Altezza Club is holding another Ian Luff drive day at Oran Park.

This day will be a Stage 2, with some of the 'added goodness' that the Luff crew usually add for us, in order that the day be catered more to driving enthusiasts.

Lunch is also included.

Date: Friday March 10, 2006

Cost: $280.00

Requirements: Car, valid drivers licence, and completion of Stage 1 or similar driving course.

For more info, PM myself or follow this link:

16 spaces left.

This event is now open to those who haven't completed Stage 1. Entrants will be seperated on the day so that first timers can be bought up to speed early in the morning and then participate in the Stage 2 stuff. A golden opportunity, then!

Apologies for dodgy link!

The day will be preceding Friday, March 10 regardless of wether we fill every slot or not.

Entrants will be divided into those who haven't done Stage 1 and those who have. Those who haven't will cover some of the basics so that they can be bought up to speed and join in on some of the Stage 2 stuff.

14 spaces left. Some Nissan's attending, no Skylines (yet) :P

Hi guys,

saw the invitation off SAU and am pretty interested in joining. Problem is i have not taken any such training and attended any trackies before. (Apart from a couple of laps round a track in my home country in malaysia)

Am only driving my line as a form of transport (ironic but true) therefore would like to get into the sport and learn couple of stuff to handle the car.

Anyone could help mi as to provide information on wat is to be prepared( HMMm i think i sound silly but pls understand i am totally clueless bout this.)

Tks

Jay

Hey Jay,

If you wish to be involved in this event, you need to get your payment in as quickly as possible, as traditionally there is a last minute rush on spots leading up to the event.

The event takes place at Oran Park, 8am till 5pm. Cost is $280.00 and includes lunch. Since you have not done an event like this before, you will be doing a small amount of theory at the beginning of the day, then it's out to do some high speed braking, skid pan work, slalom (around witches hats, motorkhana style) etc.

Please PM or email me if you wish to be involved!

Latest update

24 spots taken. Have just taken 4 confirmations, with a 5th coming through from J@Y on the SAU forums any minute now...

One entrant has mentioned he may have to cancel on Friday, which means that a spot may become available at the last minute. If anyone wants to be on the wait list, please contact me directly via email or PM with a mobile number.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
