Thats good news, thought we might get squeezed out.

Should get there early to grab a carport.

Paul see if you can get boosted zed to come out to play. :)

i would say not much chance of a carport unfortunately. might be able to get one for the morning but in the arvo guys will be wanting to move in to their alloted bay (i know we will!).

good news paul on the session structure. should make for a fun day then :woot:

looks like my shift at work is changing and fridays are my saturdays...

SO....could be a goer for me!! :(

and now that my brother decided to have his bucks party on the fatz grip n drift day - this day looks much better for me.

many spots left?

heheheh

Paul - not sure if you eremeber mer - but few years back I dud an SAU track day in my LS1 - signed up on the skylines downunder - was over 3 years ago- so you guys have gotta be nice to me as ill be back to beginer skill !!

I think I do remember, that was a while a go. Everyone has to be a beginner at some stage, its nothing to worry about, its more important that you just get out and have some fun, and not do it on the steets.

Im in the R32 GTS-T doing some development and practice, its my first full track day in this car so I dont expect to be doing V8 times or anything like that either.

Nice one!

:)

Cheers Paul - cant wait to get back out there!

whats the expected turnout of cars? Is it similar to the motoconcept days where theres group a, b and c?

OK,

They run 3 groups. 20min of each hour

C3/4 Cars (Normal race car licence group)

Bikes (National race bikes)

L2S (Us!)

So we basically go out in 1 group, normally there will be a few super sprint guys and a few others + us. I think last time there was about 15 cars, some fast and some slow but not much to worry about.

In order of priority of what to do.

Bleed brakes with Dot 5 or 6 I use the Motul 600V, UAS have it for $50 a litre.

Check pads if they are crap pads make sure you have at least 50% wear, if you have good ones ie Frodo 2500's make sure thay are no lower then 25%. Stopping is number 1!

Tyres make sure you have about 40 PSI, you can always take air out but is a little harder to put it in, dont come out with sh!t tyres, they dont grip well and you often undone, ask yogi.

Change your oil if its older then 5000km, and get a service as well if you have not had one in a while.

If you have suspension mods 3-4 Deg of camber is a good thing on the track and caster is nice as well, so a wheel alignment is cool if you want to be hard core.

Thats about it unless its your first time your car has seen the track, and it has a few mods. It may need pay to get a retune, ie street or drag tune cars dont always last 8 x 20min at full noise.

I think thats it, see you out there.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
