Eastern Creek Half day Drive day THURSDAY 3rd April.


Recommended Posts

Guys, I'm officially out!

Blew too much money out at the GP and don't think I can afford a new set of rotors + a track day.

Also let it be known that Fatz is more than just nuts. He needs a psychologist and fast! That Mirage was crying out for him to stop punishing it!

You know pete.

Ok Date for deposits is definatly on Saturday the 22nd of March @ Homebush 6c. I'll be there from 11am to 12 midday. If I have to work then I have to leave at 12 sharp... if not I may organise a trip to the pub or a short cruise.

I belive that fatz is planning to be there for deposits for the skid pan day also.

Cheers,

Dan.

It would be so much easier to just give us a bank account to deposit money into, so we don't have to traipse all the way to homebush just for 5 mins...

Kinks

Bonkers,

Are you going to come along to this one mate?

Ok Kinks... I've added your name to the list. Don't forget that to guarantee a spot you need to get a deposit to me by this Sunday. I'll be booking spots on Monday morning.

I'm out, unfortunately. Although the risk of anything happening is small I can't afford it if it does, and I'm not insured. I'll see my way to getting a cheap thrash car and then I'll take to the track with gusto :P

Kinks (and others),

I have been to many track days now... as have all the team trackday people, some of us just learn about our cars, some of go all out to try to beat our lap times, and some of us try to drift each and every corner.

Our cars are not insured while we are on track as I'm sure not many cars are. I know that these days organised by moto concepts have only had 6 or 7 accidents in there 4 years of operation, that is a lot better odds than driving on the road in my mind.

Provided you drive WITHIN your means then everything should be fine.

As I have said there are plenty of experienced trackies coming on the day that are always more than happy to take you out for a few laps and show you some lines etc. And I believe Bonkers is not driving due to the building of his new house, he might still come out to the track (can you confirm bonkers?) and he I'm sure will be more than happy to get out there in your passenger seat and show you where to go.

Even if you just come along for a watch this time to see what it is all about. I will be happy to take you out and show you what it is all about.

Dan.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
