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

$150 is a bit of money for it to be run on a friday.

I think you need to consider the effort and cost of these days.

Considering it costs $110 for the normal day

Then you get additionally for the $40:

  1. An organised day
  2. Official timing (big costs for this)
  3. Ambulance and flag marshal
  4. Derecks guidance where requested
  5. A sense of competition with prizes/trophy's and tangible bragging rights
  6. The possibility of any profit going to the club

Hey I am from Newcastle but I might head down for the weekend. I will just have to wait and see if the date collides with my shift.

Cheers,

Ryan

Great stuff! The more the merrier (to a certain extent)!

What do you drive Ryan?

SOOOOO.... Mister Goodyear tyres needs some track rubber huh???

Hehehehe I might be able to help out there Chris :huh:

Well I do remember you telling me how quickly you can munch your tyres at a track day, don't want to wipe our the Goodyears with a few trackdays :/ anyway have to think if I want to get involved.

im in, no matter what day its on :thumbsup: . $150 is, i think, a very reasonable price for a timed event.

Yes, it is good value for a timed event... timing is pretty expensive and a lot more fun trying to PB each time.

I might be interested. I brought my Supra down to Wakefield a couple of weeks ago and ran a 1:16 in pouring rain. Would like to see what it can do on a dry track and semi slicks.

when are you guys looking at doing this?

Yours is the stock height black one?

I was there watching you go round, your supra sounds really nice! What exhaust has it got?

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
