Ok, if you look at the start of the thread, you will see that the gympie crew days are now totally booked out.

That means all of next year is booked solid with spare cars on all days!

If you want to get into a skid day, PM NISSAN R33.. for the bundy day!

Other than that, become an SAU member and go with SAU!

Cheers

I will post up a full list of all skid days for next year as soon as i can get a copy off of Grant!

Then everybody will see who is in or out!

I'm changing the scoring on the time trial and shoot out. It will be interesting to see it in action.

Time trial:

1st 25 points

2nd 20 points

3rd 17

4th 15

5th 13

6th 10

7th 8

9th 4

10th 2

11th place or more gets 1 point

DNF 0 points.

Crash -2 points!

for the shoot out:

1st 11 points

2nd 7

3rd 5

4th 3

everybody else gets 1 point.

It is possible for 1 driver to be the fastest in both time trials and win the shoot out and win the max available 61 points.

Each time trial event will be allocated points. So, if u win the first time trial u will get 25 points, then u get 6th in the second round u will get another 10 points. Then if u come 3rd in the shoot out u will get another 5 points. That makes u a total of 40 points.

There is a prize for the highest points score of the day!

Your points will be acrewed over the year and the winner will get the piston trophy at the end of the year! The trophy Lars (Nissan-R33) just won!

Consistantcy will be the key.. Keep it smooth and tidy. Speed is fine, but accuaricy is final.

Like it?

The list has just been updated and corrected.

Unfortunatly RoadCraft (the skid pan owners) have had to change 2 dates on me later in the year..

It appears the dates will only be moved foward or back 1 week. I will post up again when all is clear and who it will effect. But at this stage, only 2 dates late in the year are effected.

Mark, Warren and I went to the skid pan yesterday afternoon to do maintence

(we like to help when we can!)

while we were there, we discussed the next tech session..

The outcome is totally useless on the road.. but megga fun.

We will be learning how to do a controlled loose, 360 degree turn and drive out!

thoughts..

Anna u should have pm'ed me!

I just sold another 3 spots!

when people pull out, i fill the spots very quickly.. that said..

Kody is prolly very happy u didn't pm me! lol

If your not on the reserve list, u have no hope! However,

RevHead would be a good place to start if u want in on the SAU day :banana:

I think they will fill fast. If he doesn't, i have a VERY long list who will gladly jump in :P !

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
