J@y this is what I did and was recommended to do:

- Check tyre pressures.

- Check/change brake pads

- Change brake fluid

- Change oil + filter

- Check all fluid levels, and bring spare engine oil and coolant also.

- Get rid of all the crap that moves around inside the car - empty the boot, lose the spare.

- Buy a helmet.

- Dont have the fuel tank 100% full as they leak fuel a lot of the time. Buy a $20 jerry can and fill it up with petrol, then fill the car up 1/2 or 3/4 and keep the jerry can with your stuff in the pits.

- Take a foot air pump (for tyres).

- Make sure car is balanced/aligned well

- Fire extinguisher

1. Tyre pressures i suppose is 36 psi ??

2-4. I am not realli a techno kinda person. Only knows how to drive. No time to go visit a mech to check things out too. (fingers crossed that my car will be able to withstand the trashing)

5. Hmm.. impt point. Being a lazy bastard, i realli have tons of stuff in my car. No wonder my fuel consumption is a bit on the high side.

6. Going to grab one on friday. Maybe the lane cove place ya guys recommeded.

7. If i run below quater tank, is there a fuel station nearby or on site?

Hmmm .. cant wait for monday to come. BTW, left a msg on aaron's mobile. He has still yet to call back yet.

Cheers

Jay

Richard - PN SENT dude!!

EDIT - I AM 100% interested taking your spot, or is there a free one available?

EDIT just spoke with Aaron and he couldnt confirm #'s but he said i should be good to come along? So do i just fill in the form and send it away?

Wat number do ya guys call to get to aaron.

Called the one on this thread but seems like its always off and he is yet to return mi calls?

I called that number left a message and someone got back to me the next day

OK Thats 11 people paid and 6 people commited and not paid.

The weather is perfect turbo weather max 19deg and mostly sunny

If anyone has any last min questions or issues please call myself or Aaron.

My number is 0402847826.

Should be a great day, see you all out there

I trust everyone had a good time, pissed about the rear pads being gone and missing out on the 8 lap race, at least I got to do the first one, but there might be another time.

I hope Aaron continues to run these events and I hope we continue to support him as a club.

I would have thought that if we (as a club) did not attend today, it would almost have been his last. There were only about 10 other non SAU people there? 4 x fords, 2 x box's, 2 x race cars, the NSX, M3 and STI. I think we had 14 cars turn up.

It was a good day all round, and thanks for everyone who got out and had a go. If we keep the number up perhaps we will continue to have someone run these days.

Paul thanks for organising this - most fun day I've ever had in my car and I learnt so much with Aaron guiding me around.

Here are some photos I took:

Nathan took both cars drunkan. Think he enjoyed the KC more - he can drive the bloody thing too. I reckon it has to be the best track day I've done. Last track day I did at OP I did 68km, today 286km. The 2 races were the best fun, gets the adrenalin pumping.

Thanks for organising Paul....

I'll sleep well tonight.

yep it was a top day. I was a bit shakey after staying up till near 2 after the F1 last night, the up at 6:45... We rocked up late with the alfa but still managed around 100 laps too. I am absolutely wiped after a few post day beers at narrellan, then we stopped on the way home near badgerys creek for a 6 pack, then picked up another near home, had some beers and dinner, and i just got home 5 minutes ago. it's been a long, long day and i'm shattered now. Our car went flawlessly today which was unfortunately more than i can say for a few of the GTRs out, they were dropping like flies, plus there were more of them in the carpark not out there. damn shame.

    • 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.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
