Which day for the track day? No dates yet. Tickets would be around the 150 to 155 mark with these numbers.

It seems like the NSW vs VIC track day went well why dont we take on anther forum?

Like a supra forum?

its just a thought and could be quite interesting to see how the supras come up agains the skylines.

Prices would be around the $150 to $155 mark with the numbers listed in the pole.

Vote for more that one option if it suits you!

Any comments?

Cheers,

Keith

I might give wakefield a call and see how much it would cost us to get the day timed.

Or do we think it would be better not timed?

I know we have to pay for other things aswell when we get it timed.

for timed days you'll end up paying around 155 each i think.

Thats the normal entry, plus the hire and use of the timing gear

I was thinking about buying a laptop and some timing gear (just basic stuff but would be plenty good enough) and I would be happy to lend it out, pending I get it buy then

Just attended the Ferrari track day with timing and it was a well run event. I did invite anyone but no one showed any interest.

Cost was 150 members or 175 non members. To break even they said they needed about 40 entrants. I had no problems with cars slowing me up and everyone was very considerate of each other.

This was run with Wakefield licences so possibly only with Wakefield insurance.

Just getting 20 people from the skyline group would be very hard. We were lucky to get 10 at the dyno day prepaid (thanks to Frink). We ended up with 18 people in the end, but the majority were not skylines.

^^ yeah mate new about this one. Engine is still in the build, another few weeks and i shall be running her in :)

Regards to the timming gear and laptop, that would be sweet. And i am sure we could all swing a little money for the loan of it.

i would've loved to have gone! i wish i'd had known about it. i dont have the net at home, so i can only check the forums at work... :P

i'd be happy to pay that kind of cost. but its something that i think needs a date sometime into future, like Feb or March. you cant organise these events on short notice. also may be a good idea to invite some of the SAU NSW people to make up numbers....

Well I found out about it the day I posted. I was a guest and seeing as I had nothing to do with the running or organising and did not know what the day would be like, I was not going to make it a big thing and gets lot of people attending due to this.

I hope I made a good impression for next time and I've asked to be on the invite list for next time.

Hey Frink, can you PM me some info on some street legal track tyres for the standard GTR rims, and what PSI to use around the track. I was more worried about wearing through the sidewalls than the tread at 34psi.

Sounds like the way to go,

Got onto wakefield, we cant get timed unless we book the track.

But i agree we need to set this one a few months after christmas so we can get good numbers from both the supra club and us.

PS, how many cars would it time???

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
