Majanal (90% now... just gotta get turbo checked)

Oz (90%)

Now we have 16 Spots Booked and that is without me driving... Guess I'll be there with Duncan to show people where to go if they would like.

Benm, Come along and bring your grear... Unfortunatly the day is fully booked but there are usually some dropouts and I'm sure that I can get you on track.

Because of the HUGE turnout we will need to be at the track between 7:30 and NO LATER than 8am or you will miss track time. Briefing by moto concepts will be at 8:45am sharp and we have to be signed up by then.

Any Drivers that haven't driven before around EC make sure you let me know if you want to go out with one of the more experienced guys in the A session before you drive yourself and I'll organise it. I can also hopefully get someone in your car when you go out also. Please let me know of this as you sign up.

Don't forget your $130 balance for the day and also bring a pen. Take as much loose gear out of your car before you arrive at the track and if you changing tyres at the track remember that you need to bring blocks to rest your car on (and be there earlier).

Include in you check list, Full tank of fuel, check to make sure tyre pressures are even, Helmut, long top (non flamable), Long Pants (non Flamable), Covered shoes, Licence, somewhere to park ya bum (seat), and most important is a bottle or two of water. I believe that the shop will be open, but it wasn't last time so might be a good idea to bring some munchies, it is also pretty pricey.

For those that don't already know, Passengers are allowed at a cost of $20 per day. They will need to clothed as a driver needs to be and I'll get them organised AFTER the drivers have all been signed up.

No Incar videoing is allowed anymore and also no drifting in groups (Dave explained this to me today and asked if I would let you all know).

Should be a top day. I'll ask Dave if we can get a quick photo at the end of the day again.

Looking forward to it,

Dan.

PS. I'm gonna be bringing Jody along if anyone else's GF/Wife/Female Mate is a bit shy.

i'll be in group B.

DANG IT about the videos... i just organised an in-car mount for mine...

Dan, i might bring bec along, get her into the passenger seat.

oh, also, i wanted to buy a helmet... any idea of cost/type that i should buy?

thats it christian, u and me in group B... GTR vs GTR !!!! :) just jk~ hehe

anyways, as for the helmets, my friends bought their helmets yesterday from a motorbike shop in parramatta.. don't know what its called but they bought helmets for $99... will ask the address and post it back up...

:)

Head along to a motor-bike shop, you'll get one around that price.

Try different brands though, they all have different shapes and some will fit some ppl better than others.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
