i just have no luck with cars

at least it was only a silvia that bit the concrete. good riddance i say. that engine got a chance to shine in a real car after that.

I really wanna come bob,

But im getting payed monthly now... I get payed on wednesday and its all gone + some as i preordered my xbox360,

What is the latest i can pay? Also being an SAU NSW Member i have a cams licence dont i?

Hey guys,

Get your payment in ASAP... this will be a top day that all can enjoy, I know I'm putting my name down, the car WILL be ready by then, so come on out and have a blat with me!

This day will be fantastic for all levels, from beginners to full race car's (all in different categories of course). And we can have a good old friendly time battle with the rotor boys and girls also... that is always some fun :)

If we are lucky the boys and I might get a chance to go for a drift sometime and smoke some serious rubber only inchs away from each other...

Be there or be square kids!

Dan.

Oh man, I really really wanna be in for this, but I've started having alot of trouble with cooling lately, and its put me back alot on getting the front mount :P

I may have to just come down to spectate, at least then I can check things out before I do em.

I sooooo wanted to start doing track days this year though :(

The day is structured in groups that go out together one every 10 seconds from the pits - not a grid. The groups will be of cars that are doing similar lap times.

Last track day we did two car sprints in the middle of the day for 5 laps which was fun and I think we are doing this again if there is enough interest.

Mr Plunk - perhaps you could start a thread for us to help you with your cooling problems.

Jay - we are always willing to help out newbies. We want you to be addicted to the track like us. :mad:

There is no test for the licence.

You need a helmet.

There are a few threads on here about getting your car ready for the track but we can easily tell you the basics when it gets closer to the day.

Also, one of the more experienced and level headed guys will be coming out with you on your first laps to give you pointers on saftey and how to get the most out of your car.

There are not many track days better for newbies than SAU/RENEW ones but the fast guys still get free rein in their group.

Does that help everyone?

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
