Hey all,

anyone keen on hitting Wakefield Park on Friday August 31st.

I've caught the track day bug and can't stay away from it.

Cheers Paulo.

(I hear about the one on 8th september, how much track time do you get on that day with 50 cars out there, just curious seems like a good setup. I have football finals on that day)

Yeah you'll need that smile along with $50 for the annual license at Wakefield before you get on too.

Fill up at Mobil1 in goulburn and add octane booster to the diet set you back $25, but sure beats paying $2.75 a litre at the track bowser.

The track bowser serves "ET" race fuel rated at 102 ron, so buying the 98premium fuel with the octane booster provides "upto 7 points ron increase" gives you roughly 104-5 Ron which is not only cheaper but better RON as well.

Be prepared to go through at least one tank of fuel throughout the day as well not including driving there.....

damn, id be keen but going down to the snow that night. you deffinatley need a full tank of fuel, i went thru a whole tank last weekend when i was there, had to fill up half way thru the day. best fun ever tho

That octane booster is not worth it..

Lol.. It doesn't boost it up 7 points either.. haha

road worthy car, cams or wakefield licence

100 bucks or there abouts?

long sleeved shirt, long pants, ADR helmet

and a big smile, and fuel....haha

Yeah thats not cheap. Including brakes and tyres being thrashed too! Sounds pretty straight forward...they have helmets at Wakefield right?

The smile will be on by default! :D Only after initial crapping myself (first time jitters)

Damn i need a wheel balance first... :action-smiley-069: Can i borrow 50 bucks? lol

How could you measure the octane level sitting in the tank? It would be hard to get it exact anyhow.

All those boosters are a load of hog wash.. If you want some decent fuel go buy that 100ron stuff.. otherwise UAS sell martini fuel. Don't start putting crap into the crappy pump fuel they sell.

ever seen actual test results to back that up???

Agreed some of them are crap but there actually some VERY good products available and alot of them come from servos too. Nulon is a proven performer. I actually have a few test results somewhere that bobby did not long ago when choosing a fuel for his GTR.

Those adatives are also a very good idea when filling the tank somewhere that gets well below 0 degrees. the wax content in their fuel is very high which is not exactly good for injectors.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
