is this just an open day thing? Whats the entry fee and on road (track) costs?

Starts at 4:30pm and finishes as 9pm.

You need to book. Fill in the form, fax it through, and you get a call saying your in.

I'm not organising the day, but myself and a mate will be running. So come down and say hello.

I did a 1:58. Very happy with that, since it was my first time out at the track in my GTR.

Basically stock car and started with a full tank of petrol with semislicks. I had a little understeer when fully stretched. I guess i need to speak to some handling geeks to dial that out.

But i had a fun night and will go back for more.

Padey,

Great to hear you enjoyed yourself....it turned out to be an awesome night, max 17 cars and 4 hours of open track!! I had the chance the take the 993 twin turbo for a few hot laps; nice bit of gear.....but a fully loaded GTR quenches my thirst anytime!!!

I had the the Baby GTST & the VW R32 out....you soon realise that 350 rwkw's (gtst) are quite a handful through the twisties... but oh so much fun when you blast past a Twin Turbo Porka!

I'm in discussion with the events managers about another Twlight session, will keep you posted!

Its been a while since I've posted on the forums but some of you blokes need to put your hand in your pocket occassionally & stop moaning about a measly $200....this is the best $200 you can spend, your driving Eastern Creek & also have the facilities of supercar intructors!!!

I was thinking the same, 200 is a good price!

was it done in groups? if so how many groups and what times did you get each? like 15 - 20mins group?

might keep an eye out for next one if thats the case!

Had heaps of fun for my first time on the track with my GTR.

So when is the next one? And what times were some of the other cars doing?

cheers

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
