Alrighty then,

Last Novemeber I organised a road trip to Wakefield and Eastern Creek and it was awesome except for one important thing. I didn't have a car.

So since we haven't been able to organise anything for Tassie this year I'm going to go back to NSW - same time - same places (kinda). Like last year anyone who wants to join me is more than welcome.

I've contacted all the venues and this is the itinery.

Tues 6th Novemeber (Cup Day) - Winton

Special SAU event - more on this later.

Wed 7th Novemeber - Drive to Goulburn

Stay at Wakefield. Accomodation - $50/night/person (at this stage we'll stay there all 3 nights).

Cost: $100.00

Require: CAMS L2S and Wakefield License ($50pa. Not sure if the ones from last year will be valid still?).

Fri 9th November - Eastern Creek

Cost: $120.00

Require: CAMS L2S

Sat 10th November - Cruise Home

Notes:

I think everyone that came last year will agree that these two tracks are probably more enjoyable to drive than anything we have down here in Vic other than Phillip Island. And both tracks are completely different. Both of the days are open practise days however - which means no timing. But given this and given they are on mid-week the advantage is you will get as many laps as you desire. I guarantee you will not do as many as you possibly can unless you are a freak :P If you want timed laps I suggest you get one of the Mychron Lap timers which is what most people did up there last year and they were great.

It's a pretty full on schedule so not much time available for "fun". I've decided that the best bet at this stage is to stay all 3 nights at Wakefield. The accommodation is truely awesome and is roughly 2hrs from Eastern Creek so no big drama's for the drive up and back on the Friday (and gives us a head start for the drive home on Saturday). We don't have the spare day in-between like we did last time hence why I haven't made plans to stay in Sydney.

So who is in?

In again for this and yes I know what I mustnt do for all you jokers :P

Will drive both tracks again too. :D

What was happening with Oran Park, was that being looked at/closed down/not on the cards? Remember talk of it last time.

Just a question r.e Cams licence, mine expires on the the 14th Nov which covers me for this trip but do I need a certain amount extra like with a passport e.g a month? Havent renewed before so not sure. :D

You'll get your cams renewal soon - they usually send it out a couple of months before it expires.. so you can renew it before you go, but no you don't need an extra month on it...

Right - before I get asked too many times right now we don't need to do anything.

A month or so out we'll need to individually book our accommodation. But for the 2 track days we don't need to do anything in advance. They will both just be pay on the day deals. There is no pre-booking or anything.

But this is going to be a fun week.

1. No fencing

someone last year during recreational practice hit a fence

2. No megaphones to put in the hands of Englishmen

someone was playing with our megaphone (james brought it on the trip) and broke it

3. Bucket 'O' Chips

james and matt went the shops to get some food and crap

and couldnt find anything useful (we were in goulburn) and they found bowls for potato chips

but they were too small so james brought some plastic buckets and potato chips, hence bucket 'o chips

4. Don't drink the blue liquid

at one of the bars there was a blue glass tip jar with coins and water

someone thought it was a blue drink and drank it, only to find it was water and a tip jar

5. Don't let NSW pick the 'shinadiggins' venue's

in goulburn the pub we went to i think was crap and the other place we went to was miles away.

no biggie

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
