Yeah, second the meetup point idea. I suppose the track opens at arond 8 am or so. Campelltown or somewhere close sounds a reasonable place to meet up.

good idea, :P i'm thinking one of the servos on the freeway with those big carparks could be better as a meet up point, quick and easy and saves people getting lost or having to take detours.

In for a meetup also, but if your talking one of the servos on the highway past campbletown, it might be pretty hard to organise an accurate time.

Personally, I vote for either Maccas/Krispy K's Cumberland highway liverpool, or woodbine Macca's Campbletown way. We can do both, as long as someone from Liverpool gives the campbletown guys a call when we take off to meet us on the road.

I've met at Woodbine a couple of times in the past, pretty easy to find, and it's on the way for pretty much everyone from Campbletown, Sydney, Newcastle etc.

Maybe we should start another thread.

being a newbie on the track is there anything I should be doing before getting the ride on the track ( pretty stockish at the moment). Am getting an oil and filter change done this weekend. Anything I should be bringing/ doing before I get there? and precautions blah blah because I'll be driving back to sydney after the event as well.

from what i know and i dont know much..... basically have a check over everything and see that its all in good working order.

main things i would think would be fluids. Oil, Coolant, PS fluid, Brake fluid. See if theyre good or in need of a change or top up. also you should really bleed your brakes.

thats all i can think of, anyone else feel free to add or correct stuff that i have said.

Also, don't put the handbrake on straght after a stint. You can warp the discs. It's something simple, but cause it's an automatic reflex to put it on when you pull up, I've forgotten a few times in the past.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
