Answers,

1.- how much petrol you willing to use? usually scutineering starts about 8am racing starts from about 9am. The day finishes at 4pm i think or 4.30pm. Last time i went there i did 250km's and a whole tank and finished early! could've done atleast another hrs track time

2.- there's no instructor as such, but if you want someone experienced to show you the lines for a few laps then i'm sure we could find someone to show you. You can take your girlie in the car and scare the shit out of her. I plan to do it to my wife.

3.- What do you mean by stage 1 mods?? if you mean exhaust pod FMIC then look at times around 1.15-1.20 depending on driver ability, I had these mods and had semi slicks aswell and ran a 1.13.6

Yeah that sounds about right.. although I think he meant "what speed" as in km/h.

jaimzr33: If you havent got a speed limit defender or aftermarket ECU you're probably not gonna get much above 180km/h. If you do have either then expect a max speed between 160 and 220km/h depending on your lines and braking ability. To be honest you wont (or probably shouldnt!) be concentrating on your speedo at this point anyway, as the 1st corner will be coming at you much quicker than you're probably used to :thumbsup:

1. as much as it takes to improve my driving :laughing-smiley-014:

2. instructor would be good for the first few laps. and yes, scaring the shit out of my gf is definately on the agenda :thumbsup:

3. stage 1 - exhaust, intercooler, pod, bc

Those mods you wont even get to the 180km/h speed limiter. You can have one of the experienced guys out with you most of the day if you want.

Passengers will need a Wakefield licence as well as drivers just so you know. I think it's about $45 a year.

When is all the payment and official booking details going to be up, just getting to impatient!

And will there be much drifting possible or will the spit the dummy?

I dunno if the officials will get cranky but I will :nyaanyaa: ha ha last time I was there I was behind a guy drifting and he screwed up so many of my laps for me, However once when I was there they had a few drift sessions through out the day so that may be the case this time too

very keen to hit the track for the first time. count me in. i will be headin down from Newie, is there anyone else going from this area?

hope to see you all there,

Boz

Quite a few coasties will be heading there... closer to the time we will organise a meetup point for everyone from around the area :)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
