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:

    • 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 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.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
