CAMS called me today and said I was too fast to participate in this day

sorry guys

perhaps we can have a play once you guys get up to speed.

have fun

yogi... pm coming!

awwww sucks :bunny:

well my engine finaly died :) i have 4 broken pistons, ringlands to be exact. i dont think i have time to do an engine swap after work today, but wel see.

needless to say i wont be racing.

this sucks too... but it means more time for you to instruct me COS THE CAR IS FIXED AND WE'RE COMING!!!

It was a close call there, found out 5.30 yesterday that the vibration is goooooooone and it's getting tuned today. As soon as she's done we'll be hitting the road. Should arrive early Sat morning. Not sure what we're gonna do til we leave for Golburn but i'm sure we'll find something :) *wees with excitement*

Sorry to hear about the car dave.. it held up so well! hopefully she will be as good as new!

Jeez, 9 degrees.

Anyone got a paddy basher we can set fire to in the pits, to keep warm?

You guys really think 9' is cold!!! hahaha you have another thing coming.. I was down there 2 weekends ago..

It was -3' One of the guys racing (an older gentlemen) was walking around in shorts!

There was ice on the cars! the mirrors were frozen solid!

how many are pulling out???

im coming down to watch....spent too much money this month....bought a oil cooler/filter relocation kit and a catch can, 6 semi slicks for a track day in september....

should be good....its not going to be a swinning pool like the last track day i spectated at.....very wet...

good luck guys!!!

Cant wait to get on the track its been a while since ive been to waky but i know its gunna be fun as long as my last minute mods get done and hold up. So what time do we have to be there in the morning for the scruteneering?

I won't be able to make it this weekend either. I wasn't racing anyway, but was keen to come down and help out, as well as spend a night or two in Canberra to catch up with family and also check out the Sutton Road complex before meeting up at Wakefield to spectate and help out.

Oh well..

Okay so news just in... tune was nearing completion when she started to run lean. Bad fuel filter or some shit, but it's all fixed and getting tuned tonight. Unfortunately due to secret squirrel location of dyno we don't get it back til 8.30 tomorrow morning. So we won't be hitting the track til late tomorrow night. jebus this better be worth it :worship:

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
