op prick at gate charged father and I $15 to watch amateurs who'd already paid for a private practice day to drive around the track

i asked what was the $15 for, the op lady said to cover insurance

sigh, i had to stay home for the gtr parts from danh.

how was it victor, anything shocking?

not really, pretty tame.. well it was my first time going to track day so wouldnt have anything to compare with.

but no real problems, besides the odd car breaking down etc... John's Z and Neil's cars were awesome!

Doodz! No photos? You promised. Who else has some?

Well anyway I had a great time and I don't think I was alone there.

Thank you very very very very much to the volunteers who did the flag marshalling all day. I really appreciate the effort and sacrifice you all made.

We would have got going a bit sooner if everyone arrived a bit earlier, but as per usual track days, by the end of the day people are tired, they've run out of fuel (2 of us ran out on the track :D), some break down or whatever and we end up getting good track time late in the piece.

Thanks for the beer Oz and the race. You had me with those slicks but only just. :)

I think the funniest part of the day was about lunch time when it was all hands and spanners on deck for skyline maintenance but the rotaries were all running sweet! Tables turned for once!

I'm not sure when exactly the lap times will be posted on Natsoft but whoever notices first, post up here. I know I got 1:25's earlier in the day but it remains to be seen what came of the later sessions.

Fatz, that thing is a weapon, and I mean that literally. :(:) Nah, give it some brakes and minitubs and it should be right. I now know your secrets to quick lap times though... Short cuts!!! I'm not kidding for those of you who didn't make it, that cloud of dust was the classic fatz short cut, not an off. The difference is control!!!

We ended up with great weather, bit of sun, some clouds and a few spots on the windscreen at one stage but nothing came of it. Had a great time.

Good to see so many newbies out there. Are you hooked yet?

I had the BEST fun ive had in aages today. It was awesome!! Big thanks to Abo Bob for lending me some tools, and giving me some good training at the start of the day :D

I ended up with a 1:30 half way through the day, but felt a bit quicker later on..

Thanks for all the volunteers time today, you helped make it an awesome day!

Now, to get my fuel filler fixed after spewing liters and liters of fuel all over the place! :D

We need photos people!

oh yeah, your car sounded just bloody awesome primordial too bad about the fuel filler, would've love to hear that car going around a couple more laps. Next time I hope my car will be ready for the track

What a great day, thanks to Adam and co for eveything to make this day very enjoyable for all. Thanks Adam also for helping me bleed my brakes made a big difference!!!

Lizzy we both know who came out the winner here, everyone! It was an awesome day and to answer Adam's question, YES i'm hooked!

Got my times down to 1.31.6 so very happy first timer :D

MADGTR and Abobob's car were flying!!

Again thanks everyone for a great day and Adam for everything, you are a real credit to SAU :D:D

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
