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.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
