So it sounds like a few of us (Steveo/Sam/me) might make it down to Winton for a track day on Friday. I'm up for a very early departure (5AM?) to beat traffic. Like to get there and chill for a bit.

Scotsman - it there a place to crash near Winton on Thursday night or should we book into the cabins a night early?

For those of you who are new - this F'N rocks. It don't get much funner. Of course we will have to start dominating the Mexicans...

Probably best to just head to Shep on the Thu night before Winton to save the extra organisation. It's about a 45min drive to Winton in the morning. You could stay in Benalla or even Wangeratta, but it would be easier to just extend the stay @ Shep.

Benalla is 10min drive to track. This is where SAUVIC usually stays if we do a Winton track day.

Wangeratta is 25min to Winton, but the benefit of Wangeratta is it's on the Hume Hwy and on the NSW side of Winton. So this could actually suit you guys if you wanted to arrange anothe rnight somewhere.

The good thing about the Friday's @ Winton is you don't need to be there for a Driver Briefing. You can just show up when you want. Pay your $100 and go nuts. They have like 20 sessions for car, 20min bikes, 20 race cars then they rotate.

Hmm.. now thinking about it.. I might come down for the extra day..

Hey, you're going to drive there anyway and you might as well have 2 days of fun between those long drives as one. The only negative about the trip last time was spending two day on the road for only one day there. Be great if we can get several of us down early.

Steve-O, when you start doing the cabin thing can we make arrangements for one on Thrusday night then?

I would but my annual leave is kinda used up :O

And I dont think my car would be able to cop the abuse!

5 star hotels this time? :(

weak sauce!!! sif go in a hotel :mrt:

I promise you wont be on the couch this time :) *looks at steveo*

we met in a carpark 2mins from the intersection with king georges road (which you would come down to get there) and the M5 in beverly hills.

i assume its going to be the same place again??? will we fit there???

Yep same place, yep we will fit :) (its only for 30 mins anyway, there was that whole side street aswel)

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
