yeah shaun, mate i would get that seen to. it wasn't just shooting the odd flame on gear change, it was continuosly putting a little fire out. you dont really want all that heat and flame constantly heating your bar, and possibly the fuel tank behind it. there is definately something very wrong there.

Hi guys,

Just thought I would log on here to say hi.

I am glad you all had a good day out at Oran Park on Saturday. We from RENEW are certainly glad that you all enjoyed it.

The pre-event time did run a bit over, but that was caused by a lot of cars turning up ar scrutineering towards the end of time allocated, and also a bit of getting used to the processes that are required to be followed on a CAMS day, as opposed to other days that RENEW have held at Wakefield that some of you may have attended. Part of this was also having such a large number of trainee and first time officials that had to briefed, signed on, etc.

As stated earlier, the limit for the number of cars on the track is 10. This is a CAMS set limit for Oran Park. Wakefield, for example is set at eight.

The afternoon ran a lot more smoothly.

Thanks to Adam for liasing with RENEW, and for doing all of the organising from SAU. Also, a huge thanks to those guys who volunteered for the flag marshalling positions. You guys hepled make the day possible. Susan, the Clerk of Course, was certainly impressed with you all, and was most humoured by the banter on the radio during the day. :D

Personally, I was loving the flame throwing Skyline and the Silvia. And the Capri, of course.

We hope we will see all of you guys who were there on Saturday, plus a few others, at our up coming RENEW days at Wakefield - July 2 and Eastern Creek - October 8.

Cheers,

Craig :ermm:

I made a post on ausrotary but suffice to say for here that a few people were quite late in arriving.

Yeah, Here is an image taken of the after flame thrower...

Yep awesome flame thrower best I have seen and very distracting driving behind it.

Fatz I only run around 370rwkw for circuit. Fun to wrestle it down the straight dodging Skyline mobile chicanes.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
