entry form for wakefield?

do we have a final summary of the itinery? events?

There is no entry forms or anything for Wakefield. We just turn up and pay on the day.

Itinery is as per the 1st post. The only thing left to be discussed now is a departure time on Tuesday. That will be done closer to the date.

Thanx Andrew.. good job sorting the accomodation out too :)

Unfortuanetly I cannot take 3 days off work.

But I really want to go!!!!

Solution - drive up to Wakefield Tuesday (public holiday, no work)

- Race at Wakefield all day Wednesday

- Drive back to Melb Wednesday night

- Work Thursday

Therefore lose 1 days work instaed of 3.

Looks like the only solution for now, bummer, really wanted to go EC aswell.....

Yeah I know but if I go to EC I lose two days work, drive up Thursday, race Friday.. :angry:

Aaron you going to both??

Bah - I haven't driven Eastern Creek but it's just going to be about 1 corner and that one corner is going to be insignificant next to PI turn 1.

Wakefield however is ace fun. It is by far more enjoyable to drive than any track in Vic other than the Island.

EC turn 1 is pretty fun. Its kinda similar. In your cars you will probably be arriving doing about 240km/h. Quick blip of the brakes and hammer through at over 200km/h. Its a much longer corner then PI...still great fun thoigh. Best fun at EC is the back of Corporate Hill where you have the car floating over the rise as you try to keep the think glued to the inside...good fun. And brakign up to the final comples of lefts for the straight. A lot like Dandenong at Sandown where if you straight line it you can get on the brakes real late then hop you havent over cooked it and ebd up on the dirt mid corner...

Wakefield is still better fun in the cars i have driven,,,though none of them have had the stomp you guys throw around so perhaps when you are closer to the 1:40 lap times its a bit more involving?!?!?

For those coming that have never seen Wakefield before here is a little in-car lap by the SAU Track Times Wakefield leader gaint (well it was Mark driivng but still..)

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/BAC0B0F...0B297B03720.htm

Note - the start finish line is at about the 30s point of the video.

I love how easily he does that tricky shift at turn 8. I don't know how many times I grabbed 5th instead of 3rd there. And then spun off at the next corner. lol

The most suprsing thing from that footage though is him taking turn 2 in 2nd. Not sure if his gearing in the ppg has a long 1st or something but turn 2 is pretty wide and reasonably quick from my memory.(I say this knowing that car has a 4.4 diff in it) I was only grabbing 2nd at turns 7 and 10.

    • 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'
