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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
