sweet! thanks :P

Are you serious? That's pretty piss weak IMO given the cost of the day to entrants and the cost of that Venue to hire.

It was a public holiday, which tends to make it a bit more expensive.

Most days for the same price with timing are mid week work day ones.

Not meaning to be picky but with 52 entrants @ $140 thats over $7K - after track hire (yes I know the price for public holidays - it's the same price as for Sundays), insurance, medics, etc there is still a fair bit of coin left over in that....

I was originally coming to this day but due to my car still being broken I had to pull out but I'd sure be disappointed to have travelled all that way - as many did from QLD - not to get times for an entry fee of $140.

$140 gets you a timed track day down here at Phillip Island on a Sunday (sorry - $145) where the facility hire fee is 2 times the price and insurance has to be with CAMS which is more costly again. So sorry but to me no timing for that price is a bit weak. Just my opinion however and maybe everyone who attends those days are happy.

I dont want to get into a slanging match about it but if you guys think that you can put a closed day on at a Sydney track for less... please let me know!

For the record... After track hire, insurances (which we take on our own), ambulance and staff as well as few promo goodies to throw around, Autosports made a grand total profit of around $200 after that day and infact that was the first time we infact made a profit, normally we loose money and given that we personally are running these events becuase we love to, that ment that the money we were short (at past events) came out of my own pocket. Gota remeber we also have the best driver trainers in the country there with us as well.

Insurance is the big killer as most would understand but saying that quote "certainlysounds overpriced" is an uneducated and stupid comment that i am happy to debate when and where you want!

If you think Wakefield is expensive... you try and do an event at Oran Park or Eastern Creek, this next event that we are doing at Eastern Creek is costing over $10,000 JUST FOR THE TRACK HIRE, not including insurances or anything.

The main reason why we dont have "official" timing is becuase of the fact that poeple want passangers... this has been debated many times and its simply what poeple want. Further, most poeple who are serious about their motorsport and can infact drive have there own timing with them to use.

Again... you tell me how you can do it cheaper and i will pay you $100k a year to come and run a National Calander for eveyone one else that spends every spare minute during and after business hours busting there arses trying to put these days on AT COST for you guys and becuase we love doing it... not for profit

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
