Hi Guys,

The next Track Day is on July 4th. I am running two half days as follows:

8:30 to 12:30 Morning Session: $110

1:00 to 5:00 Afternoon Session: $110

8:30 to 5:00 Full Day $180

You must arrive early as there is now full scrutineering of vehicles. All details in my emails.

I am going to have 4 groups of 10 cars this time to keep the track time maximised.

If you want to join the track day group PM me your email address and I will send you out all the info, rules etc.

For those who have come to the last few events you will be excited (I was anyway) that the timing gear worked perfectly on June 6. It seems (touch wood) that the gremlins have been sorted out.

Paul

So whats the go with having someone that knows what they are doing (ie instructor of some sort)?

I remember you had it organized last time, but due to numbers or something they had to pull out?

Id be interested if something like that could happen, even if its just someone whos there on the day anyway.

We have guys like Maccattack and EVOCam who put in great lap times. I'm sure these guys and our other gun drivers would be happy to talk about what lines to take etc during the day.

Are they allowed to be in the car while driving tho? I dont mean to be a pain.

Additional costs would just be $55 fer a CAMs licence fer a year and the maintainence of your own car...i just did my first track day on june 6th organised by mountainrunner and i recommend it strongly fer anyone who wants to have some good healthy fun with their cars out on the track...i went there without really knowing anyone but made a few friends and even had advice from a couple of guys who go to the track regularly, best way to learn is to go out on the track and drive...

I had all my fluids and oils checked before track day too..Make sure u have enough meat left on yer brake pads and thread on yer tyres, and brake fluid too....i flushed and filled up with Motul RBF600 just before track day and by the end of it, my brake fluid tank went from max to half...i pretty much exhausted my front brake pads and wore my tyres quite a bit on track day... but that was with getting about 30laps on the day..Last thing u want is to go to track day and end up not being able to enjoy driving on the actual day cuz of problems that could be avoided/rectified before it.... :dry:

Pity i cant make this coming track day...but put me in fer the next one in Sept! Cheers~

I'm going to be at this one... First chance to give the rb25 /32 a proper workout. Should be fun to mix it with the 33's with the same engine.

john: you need a QR license ($60 or so per year) and petrol, but that's the only other cost.

Yea, I went to the June trackday with J-boy, was a great fun!! Met some really nice ppl there, who helped us alot. Really wanna take my car there in the JUly one, but I will be in Mel by then :dry: if there will be a track day in Aug, that would be great. and will the trainning section be held by then?

Try some of the big bike shops ard...like star yamaha n so on...i think HJC has some of the better helmets in the cheaper range...like i saw a few going fer below 200 brand new, full faced n australian standards approved and some are SNELL too, also check out AGV, the arai and shoei all go fer at least 500 onwards or thereabouts. U could also check e-bay fer some good 2nd hand buys, as long as the helmet has no scratches and has never been dropped before, with the structure intact, it could still be a good buy...just make sure u get a helmet which fits snugly....lol i was doing lotsa homework on helmets before so i hope my input helps... :(

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
