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.

    • 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. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
