On behalf of the Honda Car Club NSW, I have pleasure in inviting members of Skylines Australia to our next Track Day, Saturday 17 May 2003 at Wakefield Park.

The morning will be like previous HCC Driver Training Days, with the track available for you to practice, and instructors available to ease your way onto the circuit.

The afternoon will be held as a timed supersprint. You will be able to see just how well you’re driving! Compare your times with your friends!

Safety is the number one priority, but fun comes a close second. Plenty of attention is given to first-timers, so don’t be afraid to give it a go.

Cost: HCCNSW Members $100

Non-members $120

For more info, call any one of:

Adrian 0417 411 006 David 0403 195 124

Michael 0422 443 686 Richard 0410 664 140

Free Plug!

I can't make this one, but I've been to 3 of these HCC days at Wakefield, they are probably your best chance to get on the track.

If you've been thinking you might give a track day a go, this is the one to choose - you'll get personal instruction, and plenty of space on the track.

Go Team Trackday!

Not in the past, may be different this time with the afternoon timed sessions. Over to you Richard.

Either way a CAMS L2S license is under $50, SAU will be able to issue them on the spot once it is CAMS affiliated. You could also join Honda club on the day if you want the CAMS license

I have 2 answers for this.

The polite one ... no you can use a CAM L2S or higher, or Wakefield license. Either are acceptable.

The not so polite one ... it's all described in the Supp Regs. All of this and more.

The spirit of the day is not a competitive, bet your house on it, kind of day. It is more one of fun and a chance to learn what your car can do in relative safety. Having said that, the 2nd half of the day will be timed and a little regimented like a formal supersprint.

We are running the day under a Wakefield permit, and that allows us certain flexibilities. e.g. we don't *require* a fire extinguisher, but you will be expected to have secondary bonnet ties.

I noticed that there's a Mopro round on the same weekend. Bummer. Not intentional Duncan, really :P

Dan a secondary bonnet tie is just a way of securing the bonnet in addition to the standard latch. The idea is to prevent the bonnet flying up if the latch fails.

A piece of sturdy cord is sufficient to do the trick. I use a thin tie down. Other suggestions:

* Swage some eyelets into a piece of thin steel cable with a snap shackle. (go to a ship chandlers)

* Bonnet pins (road legal???)

* Rope

Disclaimer: Obviously you don't want a tail flapping around and getting caught in your fan etc. Use common sense and go to a professional to do it for you if you can't figure out a safe way.

;)

Yeah I knew what one was Dino ;)... I just wasn't sure if you needed a CAMS approved one or not.

Thanks for the info... will go get peice of rope and attach to fan as suggested!!:bahaha:

  • 1 month later...

Just a reminder that the date for this event is fast approaching.

If you are interested in entering, please read the post at the top of this thread and send in your entry form or contact one of organisers above.

Places are filling up, so don't delay!

Regards,

Richard

Those word doc's were an interesting read.

For a "noobie wanna be trackdayer" like myself what else is required to actually get on the track. So far its:

* Second tie-down for bonnet

* Throat to ankles covered (im guessing some kind of race suit?)

* Non-nylon shoes

* Fire Ext not required but recommended (wheres the best place to mount these? I was thinking somewhere in the passenger side floor)

* CAMs license

What else would I need to prepare myself for a trackday ?

Any other noobie advice would be greatful, this HCC day sounds perfect although alittle too near for my liking.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
