Jeez I'm so exhausted from all this driving......yeah hardly anyone there, only person there was a guy in his freshly built mx5. He didn't stay long as he had car trouble and left after an hour. The longer I stay, the more addictive it becomes, didn't really want to leave but then this truck turned up....seriously, did the half track in 56 seconds.....best I managed was around 57-58.

Wish had more of you weaksauces out there today but still fun......

Gotta say it was agreat day, yes alittle hot but we got so much track time that it didn't matter.

I did 200km's at the track and at the end of the day a porsche turned up for a few hot laps, i followed him around the track and he wasn't much faster then me and he was doing 1:25's so i estimate i was doing 1:26's!!!

We did get interupted by a sports sedan that did 3 laps and poured oil alover the track!!! thought our day was done but it dried up abit and before long we were getting stuck into it again. Hairy moment for Adam though, i'll let him tell you about that one. But a really good day, ohh and the corsair challenge!!! how funny was that...

Thanks for all the good times this yr people, being my first yr with SAU and my first yr on a track its been great, i don't think i'll be to anymore days this yr, going to give the ol' girl a rest and give her a freshen up. So i'll see you all soon somewhere around and until next yr track whores have a good one!!!

Ando my boy if you read this mate the heat is on!!! starting to really get to know how to drive my car so i'm only going to get faster... BEWARE!!!

Adam, Paul thanks for all the advice over the track days, it makes it that much better when people are willing to help you whenever you need it. Ohh and Paul my shout next one hey...

Wayne, Phil and Steve nice to meet you hopefully see you at some more track days.

And Peno, that thing is fast for a boat!!!

Always a fun time on the track with SAU members and tidy Skylines.

Plenty of track time on a clean surface with perfect weather,

can't ask for more. Except for getting rid of overboost,

as 25psi @ 5000rpm was a little too high for the boat.

Looking forward to the next track day. :mellow:

there isnt no one day cams passes at oran park hey?.. was thinkin mite show up tomo?

edit: if there is one that is

lol could we get so more dates for the near future!!!

I think Mal Rose is running his V8 supercars there tomorrow, they were dropping them off today and we thought he was there to run but the bloke at OP said he was just dropping them off for tomorrow, but check before taking my word for it.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
