Hi Everyone

We're conducting a High Performance Training and Track Driving Day at Sandown on Tuesday 12th June

We will be running the day as an 'open pit lane' day, but we will also have 4 qualified (Certificate 3 and 4) instructors with lots of experience at Sandown, (they are all old tossers like me !!).

We also provide lunches, tea / coffee / soft drinks / cakes !!, flaggies and Racesafe medical / rescue crew.

You do not need a CAMS or ASSA licence to participate in our High Performance Training and Track Driving Days

The format we run to is: 3 groups of ten drivers, twenty minutes of track time per hour.

Start time is 8.30 am for safety briefing, track is open from 9.00 am until 4.00pm

We normally charge $335.00 per driver, but we'll let you have it for $280.00

If you would like to come along please let me know via email [email protected] or call me 0413 540 197

Please dont send me a pm.

Regards

Kev

Kev - interested, But can you put down what we need to bring? Ie - aside from a helmet - do we need to prepare the car in anyway? Fire extinguisher etc?

Edit - crap its on a working day.....:)

Damn Kev, you better run a few more of these later in the year, when my car is back on the road. :(

PS: Just out of interest.

Is this event classed as a "Driver training day"? Only ask as Shannons covers accidents that have occured on such events :) . Could be my perfect solution, to get back on the track.

A couple more of these after August would be great! :D

Yes Al, it is classified as a driver training day, my instructors are all fully qualified Certificate 3 and 4 driver trainers.

Im guessing guys that if they were run on weekends then none of us could afford it as Kev woudl have to pass on the additional expense of track hire?

Seriously, put in a day of leave. Tell the boss its in his own best interest, if you ever drive company vehicles. I cant see too many bosses knocking back days of leave for "training"

My problem is car, need tyres and new brake pads :) There is 2k there :laugh:

I'm in for this... only issue being my car decided to dump ALL its water on the garage floor overnight... it looks like its coming out from the sump/steering rack area *eeek*.... if its just a perished hose or fitting I'm there! you have a tentative email Kev

damn....so no chance of the weekend track days for a while atleast - will see if i can get the 12th off and head down.

i'm there too bro...sent Kev the email. should be good.

Yeah Chris should be good to get an instructor in the car

car will be fixed in time... I freaked out after I filled it back up with water and drove it to the garage, when I jumped out and popped the hood there was steam everywhere and I'm thinking oh dear... well it turns out there was a pin prick hole in a coolant hard line that was spraying water right onto the exhaust housing of the turbo! interesting way to keep a turbo cool hehe

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
