Thanks for the quick reply Roy covered everything there. Good to hear that a few of the SAU guys offer guidance on the day.

LOL...my type of guidance ..

"Ok your turn...now did you see my lines and braking points?"

"Yep"

"Well do the complete opposite and you will be fine, and quick" :whistling:

no way Sandown is scarier than PI!

am I a traitor for wanting to do the Maserati day there the week after instead? heaps less cars than the WRX days usually... I had 10+ laps in every session last time I went... bit pricier than the WRX days tho... hmmm

It's those damn walls that are so close @ sandown :whistling:

Do you seriously find you don't get enough laps in on WRX days? (just interested) as towards the afternoon they usually let you go out in any group you want since half the field has broken something or been pinged for noise or something ;)

yeah WRX days I never seem to get more than a couple of clean laps in a row... Maser day I was flying around by myself until the brakes had melted! It helps heaps being able to do lots of back to back laps (in the same session as opposed to overall) and not have to wait around much in between... I can just push a tiny little bit harder every lap until I find the limit...

Sandown walls are scary but I don't look at them and the speeds and g loads through the corners are much less... PI I was just trying to grow some balls... trying to ease off the gas and just turn in instead of riding the brake coming up to the corner because I am not comfortable with just turning the wheel at 150km/h!

What's the hold up now Dane?

Dollar dollar bill y'all...

I've decided not to put the engine in until I get back from overseas, would rather amke sure I have enough spending money over there. The sleeving and all that is done, just not going to put the head on, or put it in the car for another few months. I'd rather wait and make sure it's all done properly than rush it.

My trip is looking more and more like being funded by a personal loan :blink: Car is good. so im going to drive it as much as possible. Hell, it jsut means i will have to sleep on benchs and beaches when OS, umm, actually ... :banana:

I will be sending my form off tomorrow (express post).

What do I regarding my competition number? It says enter preferred number on the entry form, but will they get back to me before the event with a number so that I have time to buy the appropriate stickers? And where can I get these numbers apart from revolution racegear?

Thanks (and sorry again for the newbie questions)

Yeh if you have race car with a permanent decal then they try to cater for that.

Also, updated first thread with those doing driver training and the guys you can to ride shotgun or have a steer to show you the lines.

if you need me i can help, but you'd be better off using the others first since this will be my first time at sandown...

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
