It would be a fairly cheap trackday, won't chew up any tyres or brakes and prob only use half as much fuel.

its just so wet i dont know how they can have a good run.this kind of weather would be good for things like targa and track training for wet weather conditions.

I think you'll find that most people heading out are the people who do want to learn a few things.. and with the guys from Ian Luff Motivation there to help you out, it'd be a killer day.

still too many people for me.

BTW, when I enquired through Ian Luff, the cost was $195.. not $220. Corinne, can you confirm what the difference is for?

What an interesting day!

had 4 sessions out there, 3 in the rain!

2 sessions were quite heavy and was getting a bit dicey out there.

Learnt alot more about car control, lines, etc in the wet, hopefully that can help me in the dry as its easier in the dry!

Had some fun from main straight into and out of turn 1 - some nice drifting

and also turns 2 and 3 were linked a few times!

1 time I had a bit too much pace and came off into the mud at around 110km which was fun! My window was down so theres mud everywhere in the car!

Unfort though there were two accidents.

:P

From here there was me, Corinne, Brad, Brendan turned up to spectate and who else? Sorry for forgetting!

Was a good day, some real good cars..

GTRs, evo's sti's, a ford GT40 replica, datto 1200 with CA18 which haulled arse!

Liz, there were 3 groups 6-8 in each - sometimes only 4

plenty of room and plenty of track :laugh:

you missed out!

Good day to learn how to drive!

Boz really helped me heaps especially in the wet. I lol'ed and freaked out when he pulled the handbrake up on me. Haha

Very very slippery out there and unfortunately we had a couple of mishaps but lets not talk of that.

All and all besides the weather it was a good day to learn how to control the car in such harsh conditions and you realise how easy it is for the car to slip out in the wet.

Cheers!

I havent cleaned my car yet!

shes filthy! ;)

I did yesterday, I had mud everywhere and there still is!

Took some of the paneling off yesterday and doing a detail this week sometime.

Very very slippery out there and unfortunately we had a couple of mishaps but lets not talk of that.

Boz is definately the master

Why not talk about the mishaps.. wouldn't it be better to all learn from the mistakes out ther rather than to keep it hush hush?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
